Environmental engineers integrate environmental science and engineering principles in order to improve and manage the natural environment. As our world population grows, environmental engineers strive to ensure that we all have a good quality of live while also accessing healthy water, air, and land for humans and other organisms. While jobs do vary from place to place, the standard scope of responsibility for an environmental engineer job looks like:
- Assess industrial, commercial and residential sites for their environmental impact
- Calibrating equipment used for air, water, or soil sampling
- Design systems for waste management, reclamation, transfer and disposal on land, sea, and air
- Advocate best remediative procedures for site clean-up and contamination
- Advise policymakers and companies on relevant issues
- Evaluate the current system performance and incorporate innovations or develop new technologies to enhance environmental protection
- Collecting field samples and observations for data and observations
- Investigating environmentally related complaints, recording data and compiling a report based on these
- Establish waste-treatment and pollution-control plans
- Design sampling guidelines for manufacturing and industrial stakeholders
- Ensure that stakeholders are in regulatory compliance for waste management and disposal
- Collect, construct and evaluate environmental impact statements
A senior environmental engineer has a breadth of experience that assures competent in a team-lead position. Many of the additional tasks at the upper tier may be administrative or managerial in scope, such as:
- Creating reports, data meta-analysis and thought leadership
- Communicating with a variety of technical and non-technical stakeholders
- Navigating environmental regulations and funding sources
- Liaising with interdisciplinary teams for an holistic solution to environmental engineering problems
