Question - What is the role of Environmental Engineer in the industry?
Answer -
A fundamental but integral question that HR may ask in the interview is the role of an Environmental Engineer in this industry. The HR is interested not only to see your vast or intensive knowledge in the sector but also evaluate your perception of the industry. Your answer should hit the nail on the head. It should be an overview of what you think about this role.
As an environmental engineer, it is my responsibility to integrate the principles of environmental technology to improve the natural environment, water, and land for human habitation. As an Environmental engineer, we need to respond to the challenges posed by the growing population, increased encroachment of land, rapidly evolving technology, and increasing government regulations. In today’s rapidly changing climate, global warming is a concern that needs serious addressing, and this is my way of doing that.
I have a bachelors in civil engineering and a masters in environment technology. I feel that while the civil engineering degree has given me a strong base, it is the environmental engineering masters that gives me an added edge to work on a greener line and give something back to our earth.
