Law, compliance and justice
Drafts patent applications from an inventor's technical disclosure and argues them through examination at a patent office. The role sits between engineering and law: the claims have to describe the invention precisely and survive legal challenge.
Manufacturing, production and quality
CNC programmers turn a part drawing or CAD model into the toolpaths and machine code that will cut it. They choose cutting strategies, tooling, and speeds and feeds, then simulate the program to catch collisions before it reaches the shop floor. The role sits between design and production and usually involves close work with machinists.
Natural sciences and research
Physicists investigate matter, energy, and the rules that govern them, either through experiment or through mathematical and computational modelling. Applied roles put that reasoning to work in areas such as medical imaging, instrumentation, optics, or energy systems. Much of the day is spent on mathematics, code, and instrument work rather than at a whiteboard.
Natural sciences and research
Astronomers study objects and processes beyond Earth using telescope observations, archival survey data, and simulations. In practice the work is dominated by writing code, handling very large datasets, and applying for observing time or funding. Instrument and software development is a substantial part of many posts.
Natural sciences and research
Geophysicists use physical measurements (seismic, magnetic, gravity, electrical) to work out what lies beneath the surface without digging it up. The work is strongly quantitative: acquiring survey data, processing it through signal-processing chains, and interpreting the result alongside geological evidence. Applications range from resource exploration and engineering site investigation to earthquake and hazard monitoring.
Retail, sales and customer experience
Visual merchandisers decide how a store looks: window displays, mannequin styling, fixture layout, and the in-store signage that steers shoppers through the space. They translate brand guidelines and seasonal campaigns into a plan, then build the displays physically in store.
Retail, sales and customer experience
Florists design and assemble flower arrangements for shops, weddings, events, and funerals. The work combines design with plant care, customer consultation, and the practical business of ordering perishable stock that has to be used.
