Employment Requirements
Terms & ConditionsIndustrial engineering and manufacturing technologists and technicians commonly work in offices, production floors, and in research laboratories. On occasion they may be exposed to hazards from equipment, chemicals or toxic materials. They may have to work overtime, evenings, nights, and weekends during peak production periods. Almost all industrial engineers and manufacturing technologists are employees (98%). Earnings$30,200 per annum - starting $50,400 per annum - average $69,200 per annum - high Earnings are reviewed annually or more frequently if new information becomes available. Education / Training
Career PathsIndustrial engineering technologists may start as trainees or technicians doing routine work under the direction of industrial engineers or experienced industrial engineering technologists. As they acquire experience and further knowledge they are given more responsible assignments and may advance to positions as designers or engineers (non-professional). Experienced industrial engineering technologists may become production control managers or quality control supervisors. OutlookEmployment prospects for industrial engineering and manufacturing technologists and technicians have been adversely affected by the slow down occurring in the manufacturing sector. However, prospects are expected to improve and be good later in the forecast period. Employment in Manitoba in 2010 is estimated at 500. Many local firms faced with declining markets and excess inventory have temporarily scaled back production and reduced staff. Firms that manufacture non-essential consumer goods have been affected the most. Food processors, the largest manufacturing sub-sector and manufacturers of transportation equipment in aerospace parts and transit buses have been able to maintain relatively stable employment levels. Employment for industrial engineering and manufacturing technologists and technicians is affected to a considerable extent by the level of activity and investment in the manufacturing sector. Complex industrial technologies, the need for continuous improvement or modernization of production techniques and competitive pressures will increase in employment opportunities in this occupational group when the economy rebounds. Computer Numeric Control programmers (CNC) are in demand. CNC programmers have little difficulty securing employment because the software is increasingly more sophisticated and requires higher level skills. A proportionally larger share of jobs for industrial engineering and Manufacturing technologists and technicians are located in Winnipeg. Employment is concentrated in Manufacturing (88%).
