Outlook

Growth for environmental engineering technologists and technicians will be slower than average. More environmental engineering technologists and technicians will be needed to comply with environmental regulations and to develop methods of cleaning up existing hazards. State and local governments are expected to focus their efforts on using water efficiently, managing storm water, and treating wastewater.

However, this is a very small career and very few job openings will occur.
