NOC Selection for Pharmaceutical background

Express Entry NOC
1

Hi Everyone,
I have a masters degree and a bachelors in chemical engineering. I have been working as a Manufacturing Chemist in the Pharmaceutical industry. my role is a liaison between the drug manufacturing department and quality control department in which i perform duties related to both the department.
although my title indicates chemist, I do not perform the duties listed on the NOC code (2112). I perform most of the duties involved with 2211 ( technologist) with some other additional duties. which NOC code do I need to select since I already have chemist in my job Title and also I do not have any degree in chemistry as the employment requirements suggest. Thank in advance for the help.

I welcome suggestions. Thank you.

Choose the code whose duties most closely match your own. Job titles are fairly irrelevant. In this case it sounds like 2211 is your best match.

I have to agree with @northern here, it is the job duties in your employment letter that have to match with the ones laid out in the NOC. It is understood that job titles are fairly subjective.
