Careers after studying Environmental Science ideas please

[megletthesecond]

Can anyone who studied environmental science or engineering give me some ideas for future careers. My googling indicates it can be everything from green energy to working in conservation.
DS would probably suit something in that area and I want to inspire him a bit.
Also, if you have a DC studying it please can you let me know what Uni.
Thank you 🌍.

Bump.

School Data Manager... was previously an analyst at LA.
Probably not what you wanted to hear!

I'm a teacher, my OH a professor.

My first job was as a geotechnical engineer.

Then I worked in contaminated land in public and private sector for a few years.

Then I did an Msc in landscape architecture and from there worked in greenspace management, managing a major world class city park for a few years.

Now work in project management as a technical project manager for one of the world's most famous Museums.

My Env Sci degree allowed me to progress in all these fields and is a great route into so many areas of environmental work. You can specialise with an MA or MSc when you have a better idea of where your interests lie.

I work for a large engineering consultancy working in a number of industries world wide, but primarily the water industry in UK. We work for many of the big water companies, designing and modifying their water and wastewater treatment infrastructure.

We employ engineers and scientists of every discipline, including many environmental scientists, who can work in environmental areas (we need to make sure that any area we work in is clear of wildlife etc) or, with additional suitable qualifications, as process engineers, helping to design the Water/Wastewater treatment processes. It is a highly skilled and well thought of discipline.

The water companies themselves have similar openings, but they also will employ environmental scientists in other roles, eg research and analysis.

Probably some relevant and interesting options here

Generally entry is open to a wide range of physical science graduates and then on the job training.

I work for the Environment Agency. About half our staff are Environmental Scientists! We have graduate entry jobs for environmental scientists in flood risk management, environment management, groundwater and contaminated land regulation, water quality, project management...

Another multi disciplinary consultancy hear and most of my team studied environmental science - we specialise in major infrastructure design, flood mitigation, EIA, ecology, landscape design, mitigation design etc etc, basically anything environmental!

• here, not hear!

Lovely. Thanks all. 👍

My son studied Environmental Geoscience at Cardiff University. He loved it. On completion he went travelling but included a 3 month placement with the Vietnam Green Building Council so he had something for his CV on return. He worked for the Environment Agency for a short time He has since done a Masters in Environmental Diagnostics at Cranfield while working for Unilever for the last 5yrs as an Environmental Risk Assessor

Look at efdc jobs, there are environmental protection officer roles and contaminated land officer roles live with a salary £46k+

There's a ton of jobs that pay well. Energy manager, environmental manager, environmental auditing or assurance, consultancy, the EA or local councils, loads of roles in facilities management and construction sector. Then there's corporate opportunities like corporate sustainability where you can get in on the carbon side of things.

Look at Acre for the range of opportunities:
