Work Place

Environmental engineering technicians work under the direction of engineers and as part of a team with other technicians. They typically work in labs and normally have regular working hours but sometimes work outdoors in remote locations. Environmental engineering technicians help with environmental cleanup and are exposed to hazards from equipment, chemicals, or toxic materials which makes it important to understand and follow safety procedures. Wearing hazmat suits and respirators, even in warm weather, is sometimes necessary. Most environmental engineering technicians work full time and have regular hours, but irregular hours can sometimes be necessary.
