Environmental Engineer Jobs

An Environmental Engineer uses 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.

They design, plan, and implement measures to prevent, control, or remedy environmental health hazards.

Potential skills and certifications for an Environmental Engineer include a bachelor's degree in Environmental Engineering or a related field, and licensure as a Professional Engineer.
