Career Path Forecast
According to the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, environmental engineers are expected to have employment growth of 3 percent from 2019 to 2029, about as fast as the average for all occupations.

State and local governments' concerns about water are leading to efforts to increase the efficiency of water use. Such a focus differs from that of wastewater treatment, for which this occupation is traditionally known.

Most of the projected employment growth for environmental engineers is in professional, scientific, and technical services, as governments at the state and local levels draw on the industry to help address water efficiency concerns. The federal government's requirements to clean up contaminated sites are expected to help sustain demand for these engineers' services. In addition, wastewater treatment is becoming a larger concern in areas of the country where drilling for shale gas requires the use and disposal of massive volumes of water
