Environmental Engineering Technician

Environmental engineering technicians assist environmental engineers and scientists to prevent, control, and eliminate environmental hazards. They primarily inspect, test, decontaminate, and operate equipment used to control and remediate environmental pollution, including waste treatment and site remediation.

Technicians also conduct pollution surveys, collect and analyze samples, maintain computer program files, and review technical documents. They work in laboratories testing samples, recording data and test results, and ordering materials and lab equipment.
