The “THINKERS” are people who like to OBSERVE, LEARN, INVESTIGATE, ANALYSE, EVALUATE and SOLVE PROBLEMS.

They see themselves as PRECISE, SCIENTIFIC and INTELLECTUAL.

  • Agricultural Researcher

    Agricultural Researchers conduct research in virtually every farming discipline – from crops to vegetables, fruit and pest control to farm animals.

  • Chemical Engineers

    Chemical Engineers use chemistry and engineering to create better ways to produce and use chemicals.

  • Engineering Analyst

    Engineering Analysts create computer simulations . This allows studying and testing the characteristics and performance of a product without physically making it.

  • Farming Extension Officer

    These officers are highly trained and experienced. Agricultural Extension Officers visit Farmers on their farms to advise them on modern and healthy farming practices.

  • Forensic Science Technician

    Forensic science technicians analyse and study physical evidence with the assistance of sophisticated laboratory equipment in order to solve crimes.

  • Health Inspector

    Health Inspectors are the guardians of the public’s health and safety. They minimise health threats to the community.

  • Herbalist

    Good Herbalists prepare their own remedies from plants. Each patient receives a tailor-made treatment to stimulate the patient’s own bodily defences produce relief or cure.

  • Medical Doctor

    The duties of Medical Doctors include the examination of patients, diagnosis of aliments and the prescription of medicine.

  • Metallurgist

    Tool making challenges often require the use of special and sophisticated material treatment techniques. Metallurgists are material specialists who simulate and manage the changes of material characteristics.

  • Metrologist

    Metrology is the science of measurement, measurements techniques and measurements analysis. Metrologists assists Tool Makers and Tool Designers to accomplish geometrical accuracies required in quality tool making.

  • Millwright

    A Millwright is a craftsman or tradesman engaged with the construction and maintenance of machinery. Modern Millwrights work with steel and other materials in order to fabricate industrial machinery or to assemble machines.

  • Nature Conservation Assistant

    Nature conservation Assistants support nature Conservation Officers in the management of our natural resources. The field of nature conservation is enormous.

  • Operations Researcher

    Operations Researchers use mathematical techniques and models to find answers for financial, economic and management problems. The aim is to develop alternatives from which the best solution to the problem can be chosen.

  • Optical Dispenser

    Optical dispensers interpret and analyse prescriptions received from Ophthalmologists or Optometrists. They decide which type of lens will be the most suitable to the patient’s lifestyle.

  • Orthotist

    The medical Orthotist or Artificial Limb Maker is concerned with the designing, manufacturing and fitting of splints, braces, surgical appliances or orthotics and artificial limbs or prosthesis.

  • Petroleum Engineer

    Petroleum engineers are involved in the production of oil and fuel. They may plan and supervise the drilling of new oil wells and damage well operation and maintenance.

  • Quantity Surveyor

    The Quantity Surveyor uses dedicated computer software programmes to calculate the quantity building material required for a specific building project.

  • Radiographer

    Radiographer apply X-rays and radio–active substances to patients for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes.

  • Wine Maker

    The Wine Maker plans and attends to his vineyards throughout the year, in order to produce the best quality matured grapes for a variety of wine types and styles.

Thinkers prefer their WORK ENVIRONMENT to be a place

  • that rewards high academic achievement

  • to implement creative scrutiny of physical, biological or cultural theories

  • that is research and results-orientated

  • that encourages complex and abstract thinking

  • that rewards discovery

  • that challenges them intellectually

and they VALUE

  • science, maths and all aspects of logical and linear thinking

  • challenges that require the use of the intellect

  • inventiveness, accuracy, achievement and independence
