AIChE Salary Survey
Conducted by CEP, the biennial AIChE Salary Survey is a key member benefit of AIChE. The survey results will allow you to track how your salary measures up against national averages. Explore how job function, experience, and industry impact salary and negotiate your salary with confidence.
All AIChE members and chemical engineers are invited to participate in the online survey. A series of initial screening questions are asked to ensure that only those with full-time employment with a background in chemical engineering (or a related field) can complete the survey. The data provided by the respondents will be used to analyze the impact of factors on salary such as race, age, gender, and location, among various others. The 2025 survey will remain open until the end of February 2025.
Be part of a collective effort to uncover trends, highlight disparities, and provide transparency in the chemical engineering profession.
