Environmental Engineer
Environmental engineers are concerned with assessing and
managing the effects of human and other activity on the
natural and built environment. They apply their engineering
knowledge and skills to such things as environmental impact
assessment, natural resources management and pollution
control.
Environmental engineers may perform the following tasks:
- research and develop new technologies and techniques to
improve the environmental acceptability of engineering
projects
- evaluate environmental and social impacts of engineering
projects in association with the public, scientists and
other engineers
- design and operate processes to treat wastes to a
standard acceptable for discharge and/or recycling, e.g.
waste water treatment or waste solidification
- work with occupational health experts to ensure a
hazard-free working environment
- prepare reports and studies on the best approach to
environmental management in new and existing engineering
projects, taking into account environmentally sustainable
economic activity and legal, environmental and industrial
factors
- effectively communicate relevant issues to other
technical staff, managers, regulatory authorities, public
interest groups and the public.
Environmental engineers may specialise in particular
industry sectors such as the minerals industry, the chemical
industry and civil engineering projects. They frequently work
closely with other professionals, at times pooling expertise
on particular projects. They may work in offices and outdoors
when involved in construction projects.
