A technologist is an individual who possesses specialized knowledge and expertise in the application and utilization of technology. They are professionals who have a profound comprehension of the intricacies of technology and the synergistic potential it holds when integrated with other technological domains. A technologist is a professional profile who not only grasps the innermost workings of a particular technology but also possesses the acumen to seamlessly apply it in tandem with other complementary technologies. In the realm of health care, for instance, a technologist may be referred to as a "lab tech". The lab technologist assumes the role of a project manager, overseeing and guiding the operations within the laboratory.

The role of a technologist
A technologist's function may be denoted by various job titles across different organizations. For example, a Director of Information Technology is often a technologist by virtue of their expertise. The same holds true for a Technology Project Manager. In smaller organizations, a technologist may be entrusted with a multitude of responsibilities. In certain instances, a project may commence under the leadership of a staff member or technician, only to be subsequently handed over to a technologist as the project progresses and gains complexity. The technologist is a consummate specialist in harnessing the potential of technologies to achieve the objectives set forth by the project owner. In Canada, engineers who have received their training from other countries may find themselves employed as engineering technologists.
