Frequently asked questions
What does an Environmental Engineer do on a daily basis?
Environmental Engineers assess, design solutions for, and monitor environmental issues at industrial and commercial sites. Day-to-day work includes conducting site evaluations, analyzing soil and water samples, designing treatment systems, ensuring regulatory compliance, managing remediation projects, and preparing technical reports. They collaborate with project managers, clients, and regulatory agencies to implement sustainable solutions that minimize environmental impact while meeting all applicable laws and standards.
What certifications or education should I look for when hiring?
Most Environmental Engineers hold a bachelor's degree in environmental engineering, civil engineering, or a related science field. The Professional Engineer (PE) license is highly valued, especially for client-facing roles. Additional certifications such as Certified Environmental Professional (CEP), Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH), or EPA certifications in specific areas (asbestos, lead, water treatment) strengthen a candidate's qualifications. Many candidates also pursue continuing education to stay current with evolving environmental regulations.
