Recently I have had several discussions with students and mentees who are interested in the activities of an environmental consultant. Understanding the daily tasks and business undertakings related to a potential career in environmental geoscience or engineering, is an important part of evaluating one’s future. Based on my personal experiences, and supplemented by those of my colleagues, here is a general summary of a ‘day in the life’ (more like a week or two of work) for a variety of technical and professional disciplines in the environmental field.
Environmental Technician/Technologist
Senior Environmental Geoscientist/Engineer
Hydrogeologist
Next month, I will cover a few more duties and activities for other careers in the environmental sector.
