Where a environmental engineer can go next
12 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a environmental engineer already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.
Environmental engineers integrate environmental and sustainable measures in the development of projects of various natures. They seek to preserve natural resources and natural sites. They work together with engineers from other fields to envision all the implications that projects might have in order to design ways to conserve natural reserves, prevent pollution, and deploy sanitary measures.

How these figures were compiled
Coverage is the share of the target role’s weighted skill requirement a environmental engineer already meets, counting required skills in full and supplementary ones at 0.35. It is directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. Every entry above opens the full comparison for that move: what carries over, what is missing, and where to start. The full method.
