What is an Environmental Engineer?

Environmental engineers are concerned with protecting the environment by assessing the impact a project has on the air, water, soil and noise levels in its vicinity. This is done by studying the project’s design, construction and operation and minimising any adverse effects that it may have on the environment. Environmental engineers are also involved in removing problems caused by past activity, predicting problems caused by accidents such as oil spills, and planning and designing equipment and processes for the treatment and safe disposal of waste material and the conservation and wise use of natural resources.

Environmental engineers work in a range of settings including government departments, local government, private engineering firms and research agencies.
