Where can a Mechanical Engineer work?

Question

My husband is about to complete his bachelor's in mechanical engineering and we're wanting to know exactly where he should apply. Can anyone give me any insight on companies (specifically in Vermont) that need Mechanical Engineers? Please don't say Monster.com or Craigslist as we also want to apply to the companies that aren't necessarily hiring. Thanks!!!!

Answer 1

You may be suprised that nearly all companies hire Mechanical Engineers, including Banks, supermarkets, and Wal-Mart. They would not be working at the stores. They would be at the warhouses or corporate offices and facilities working behind the scenes.



Here are a few others. Wawa, Lukoil, Mobil, airports, Boeing, Agusta Westland, Airbus, Lockheed Martin, Sony, Phillips, Westinghouse Electric, Panasonic, Ford, Chevy, Honda, Dodge, Jeep, Toyota, Volkswagen, Dell, Apple, Google, ABB, IBM, Coca Cola, Pepsi, Kraft, Hershey, Nabisco, LG, Fedex, UPS, NIH, government institutions and companies, defence contractors, the army, Hess, Getty, BP, Rockwell Automation, Good Year, Nintendo, JLG, Oshkosh Corporation, Johnson and Johnson, Air Products, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Home Depot, consultant companies, etc.



Mechanical Engineers can work in ANY industry in any engineering related field like construction, manufacturing, Research and Development, Design, and more.

Answer 2

Try.... Vermont Precision Tools - Swanton, Superior Technical Ceramics - St Albans, Husky - Milton, Velan Valve - Williston, Hayward Tyler - Colchester, Weidman - St Johnsbury, General Electric - Rutland, Vermont Composites - Bennington, IVEK - Springfield, Vermont Aerospace - Lyndonville, NSA Industries - Lyndonville, Sonnax - Bellows Falls, Goodrich Corp - Vergennes. Also just across the river try Timken - Lebanon NH, Hypertherm - Hanover NH.



All of these are larger manufacturers who need mechanical engineers for product design or manufacturing engineering.

Answer 3

Probably not. I'm a chemistry major and have a brother who is an engineering major. My degree has little to nothing to do with engineering and depending on the classes you take on the chemistry side you will not even get into the instruments used for chemistry in some cases. So really you probably need to head to a different school because majoring in chemistry probably will not do you much good for chemical engineering.

Answer 4

Most universities have a placement office. He should be working with them.



Also you need to be prepared to look outside of Vermont. I ended up in places I never though I would work but they were great experiences for me and my family.
