Overview
Environmental engineering technicians put environmental engineers' proposals into action. Environmental engineering experts and technicians who operate both indoors and outdoors contribute to the quality of the environment. Their responsibilities assist environmental engineers in devising ways to regulate, avoid, and mitigate pollution and other environmental concerns. Environmental engineering technologists and technicians record observations, test data, and laboratory images.
They may also acquire product information, find vendors and suppliers, and order supplies and equipment to keep laboratories stocked. Environmental engineering technologists and technicians in the field may collect air, soil, ground, and surface water samples from a given region. In addition, they prepare and clean equipment, run field sample pumps, and monitor instruments.

internship
Take the opportunity to work with experienced scientist as they continue to learn about their specialties or develop a broader understanding of related areas of research. It will allow you to have a practical learning and will also give you contacts for future reference.
Career outlook
Employment of environmental engineering technicians is projected to grow 18 percent from 2012 to 2022, faster than the average for all occupations. However, because it is a small occupation, the rapid expansion will only result in roughly 3,500 new positions over the next ten years. This employment is generally associated with projects developed by environmental engineers. In addition, state and municipal governments are likely to focus their efforts and resources on efficient water usage and wastewater treatment during the next 10 years, increasing the demand for environmental engineering technicians.
