Environmental Engineer Job Questions & Answers

Sort by:
I'm planning on becoming an environmental engineer but many of the environmental engineering jobs I've been hearing about are mostly consisted of paperwork. I know there are jobs out there that aren't all paper work but would there be a good chance that if I become an environmental engineer I'll be stuck with job where I'm in an office doing paper work almost all the time?

I am interested in the outdoors and am wondering if I should apply to a university for engineering? My marks are in the low 80's and I am not sure what an environmental engineer actually does. Would an environmental engineer be a better job then going for a bachelor of science for environmental studies? Thanks in advance!

It seems like a simple question but I am having a hard time finding specific jobs. I keep coming up with environmental engineering jobs but environmental management is not heavy in the subjects of math and science so it obviously isn't engineering. Help!

I am really disappointed - everybody talks about recycling yet here I am with a degree and I can't get a job. I know as an Eastern EuropeanI can start on a senior level (and man, I am keen on an administrator position just let me start it!), but even for junior positions they expect 2years experience! I have 1 year experience in waste management (project work, not UK based). I phoned recycling companies and they wouldn't recruit without an agency (but wouldn't tell the name of the agency). Councils go through the job centre, but I can't apply for jobs in Ealing if I live in Wandsworth. Do you know an agency I should contact? Are you an Environmental Engineer in waste management and have some ideas or tips? In London. For someone who gained a degree in another European country. Do you know an agency? Are you an agent? I am all ears to suggestions, pleaseeeee! Many thanks

I can't decide on what major to follow. The subjects between Civil and Environmental seem to be very similar. I haven't seen many jobs advertised in Environmental Engineering compared to Civil Engineering. Is Environmental Engineering going to help me get a job when I graduate or is it just a rubbish degree and is it just best to stick to Civil?
