For engineers wanting to get into a greener line of work, there’s an array of options out there, some of which really get down to the nitty gritty.

Take this job – for a principal environmental engineer, for example, which involves running waste management projects–conducting feasibility studies, designing and engineering hazardous and commercial waste treatment processes.

Or this one: for a senior geo-environmental engineer, for geotechnical and environmental investigations, making use of that earth sciences degree you did. Save the earth, and get up to £38k a year–sounds pretty good to us.
