JOB OPPORTUNITY

Most environmental scientists work for federal, state, or local governments, where they conduct research, advise on policy, and verify that businesses are following regulations. As of 2012, most environmental scientists (22%) worked in state government. Another 21% worked for companies providing management, scientific, and technical consulting services. These professionals usually help companies comply with regulations. 14% worked for local government agencies. 10% provided engineering services, and 7% worked for the federal government.

 The job outlook for environmental scientists is excellent. Employment is projected to grow 15% from 2012 to 2022, which is faster than the average for all occupations. Issues like climate change and fracking have spurred more public interest in the environment. The country's aging infrastructure will also have to be replaced. These issues will likely fuel job growth.

  • Environment Science provides diverse knowledge on pollution monitoring, analysis, interpretation, problem-solving, survey work, ecological services, biodiversity conservation, law, policies, forestry, Environment Impact Analysis and many other multidisciplinary aspects. All these domains have widened the opportunities for the students of environmental science in vast job sectors including govt. sectors, private sectors, industries, teaching, research, consultancies and NGO’s etc.

  •  The students of environment science hold a number of reputed designations and posts with handsome payment. Salary may vary according to the size of the organization, sectors, working location, education, and various other factors. We are giving you a rough idea here. The figures we are showing here may vary according to the organization. In India, the minimum salary of a bachelor’s degree holder in this field is around Rs 3 lakhs per annum. With a good working experience in this field along with masters or Ph.D. degree, the average salary can go up to Rs. 8 lakhs per annum.
