Environmental Engineering
5 open positions in this category
Environmental engineers in the 0819 series apply engineering to air, water, waste and contamination problems: designing and overseeing water and wastewater systems, managing environmental compliance and permits at installations and airports, running cleanup of contaminated sites and reviewing projects for environmental impact. In the federal government the work clusters around installations and infrastructure, which is why listings here come from Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command, the Army Corps of Engineers, Air Force Reserve Command, the Air National Guard and the Federal Aviation Administration.
Recent listings have included an environmental engineer and a supervisory environmental engineer, an interdisciplinary environmental engineer/physical scientist, a Title 5 environmental engineer at an Air National Guard unit and a public notice for environmental engineers under direct hire authority.
Applying tip: 0819 carries the 0800 education requirement, an accredited engineering degree or an approved alternative such as a PE license or passing the Fundamentals of Engineering exam, and announcements rate experience with specific regulatory programs, the Clean Water Act, the Clean Air Act, RCRA and CERCLA cleanup, so name the programs and permits you have handled. “Title 5” on a Guard announcement means the job does not require military membership. The engineering guide explains federal engineering hiring.
