What's the typical day of an environmental engineer like?
I'm interested in becoming one, but I hope it's not centered around anything boring, like paperwork. #engineering #environmental-science #environmental-engineering

DAVID’s Answer
in a consulting engineering firm you work as teams on a particular client project
Engineers start out their career as Engineer 1, Engineer 2, Senior Engineer, Project Engineer and up to Project Manager.
A project requires engineers to prepare permits, designs, specifications, write reports, letters, prepare cost estimates, obtain bids, manage construction and assist in startup.
The goal is to complete a successful project on time and under budget, company bosses hate when you loose money when you run over budget.
So an engineer must be efficient but technical to deal with project issues.
