Careers

Environmental engineers use the principles of engineering, soil science, biology, and chemistry to develop solutions to environmental problems. They are involved in efforts to improve recycling, waste disposal, public health, and water and air pollution control. Environmental Engineers may have a variety of jobs, both in the private sector and in government:

Private sector consulting firms
EH&S divisions of large corporations (UTC, Electric Boat and others)
Regulatory agencies (Department of Energy and Environmental Protection, Department of Public Health, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Center for Disease Control), Towns
Non-governmental organizations

Environmental engineers work in various settings. They usually work from in offices while planning designs or working on environmental permitting and regulatory issues. However, they may work at industrial sites or outdoors while collecting samples, conducting inspections or coordinating a facility’s waste management activities.
