What is a Environmental Engineer?
An Environmental Engineer is a professional who uses engineering, soil science, biology, and chemistry principles to develop solutions to environmental problems. They work on issues related to waste disposal, recycling, public health, water and air pollution control, and sustainability. Environmental engineers are essential in both public and private sectors, ensuring that development and industrial activities minimize harm to the environment and human health. They often collaborate with scientists, planners, and other engineers to address complex environmental challenges and promote sustainable practices.
What does a Environmental Engineer do?
Environmental Engineers perform a variety of tasks focused on protecting the environment and public health. They design, plan, and implement systems for water treatment, air pollution control, waste management, and site remediation. They conduct environmental investigations and impact assessments to ensure compliance with local, state, and federal regulations. Additionally, they prepare reports, permits, and documentation for projects, and may provide technical support for legal proceedings or public outreach. Their work often involves using advanced software and technology to model environmental systems and predict the outcomes of engineering solutions.
Job Overview
We are seeking a dedicated Environmental Engineer to design, implement, and manage solutions for environmental protection and sustainability projects. This role involves addressing complex environmental challenges through engineering principles, ensuring compliance with federal and state regulations (EPA, state environmental agencies), and developing innovative approaches to waste management, pollution control, and resource conservation. The ideal candidate will contribute to projects that minimize environmental impact while promoting sustainable practices across various industries.
Environmental Engineer responsibilities include:
1. Conduct environmental impact assessments and develop mitigation strategies for industrial and infrastructure projects.
2. Design and oversee the implementation of systems for water treatment, air pollution control, and waste management.
3. Prepare and submit permit applications to regulatory bodies (e.g., EPA, state environmental departments) and ensure ongoing compliance.
4. Perform site investigations, soil and groundwater sampling, and analyze data to identify contamination sources and remediation needs.
5. Collaborate with cross-functional teams (e.g., project managers, scientists, regulators) to develop sustainable engineering solutions.
6. Utilize modeling software (e.g., GIS, AutoCAD, MATLAB) to simulate environmental systems and predict outcomes.
7. Manage project budgets, timelines, and deliverables while adhering to health and safety standards (OSHA compliance).
8. Provide technical guidance on environmental regulations, sustainability practices, and best available control technologies.
1. Bachelor's degree in Environmental Engineering, Civil Engineering, or a related field from an ABET-accredited program.
2. Professional Engineer (PE) license or ability to obtain within 12 months.
3. Minimum 3 years of experience in environmental engineering, including design and compliance projects.
4. Proficiency in environmental modeling software (e.g., GIS, AutoCAD, WaterCAD) and data analysis tools.
5. In-depth knowledge of U.S. environmental regulations (e.g., Clean Water Act, Clean Air Act, RCRA).
6. Strong project management skills with a track record of delivering projects on time and within budget.
7. Excellent written and verbal communication skills for technical reports and client interactions.
Preferred Qualifications
1. Master's degree in Environmental Engineering or a specialized field (e.g., water resources, geotechnical engineering).
2. Experience with remediation technologies (e.g., bioremediation, soil vapor extraction) and field sampling protocols.
3. Familiarity with sustainability frameworks (e.g., LEED, Envision) and life cycle assessment (LCA) tools.
4. Previous work with federal agencies (e.g., EPA, USACE) or state environmental departments.
5. Proficiency in programming languages (e.g., Python, R) for environmental data analysis and automation.
Bonus Skills
1. Board Certified Environmental Engineer (BCEE) certification.
2. Experience in emerging areas such as PFAS remediation, carbon capture, or circular economy initiatives.
3. Publication record in environmental engineering journals or presentations at industry conferences (e.g., AWWA, AEESP).
4. Multilingual skills (e.g., Spanish) for diverse community engagement projects.
5. Proven ability to secure grants or funding for environmental research or innovation projects.
