Geophysical engineers work in the private, public, and academic sectors, as well as in the free practice of their profession.

Private Sector:

They work as field geophysical engineers, data analysts, interpreters of data and geophysical records, leaders, and managers of geophysical projects in geophysical logs, and geophysical project leaders and managers, in national and international service companies at all levels.

Public Sector:

They work as field geophysicists, data analysts, interpreters of geophysical data and records, and leaders and managers of geophysical projects in governmental entities at all levels.

Academic Sector:

They are incorporated in national and international institutions of medium superior and/or superior level as teachers and researchers.

Free Practice of the Profession:

They independently provide their professional services to the private, public, and academic sectors. They form formal companies that provide geophysical services both nationally and internationally.
