The process industry workforce is changing. In the UK a recent survey shows that by 2026 19.56% of engineers will have retired or be close to retiring. Similar studies in the US show that 23% of the American chemicals manufacturing workforce will be eligible to retire within ten years. In the oil and gas industry as a whole, there is even a name for it: 'The Great Crew Change' - the gap where experienced engineers in their 50s and 60s will shortly be retiring and the ones to fill those jobs are in their 20s and 30s.
