Environmental Engineer Jobs in Florida: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a environmental engineer in Florida?
To work as a licensed environmental engineer in Florida, you must earn a bachelor's degree in engineering from an accredited program and pass the Fundamentals of Engineering exam, then gain qualifying experience before sitting for the Principles and Practice of Engineering exam administered through the Florida Board of Professional Engineers. The board issues the Professional Engineer license required for signing and sealing engineering documents in the state. Many employers also value Florida-specific knowledge of FDEP regulations and stormwater permitting.
How much do environmental engineers make in Florida?
Environmental engineers in Florida earn a median of about $116,840 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $57,240 for the lowest 10% to over $154,130 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire environmental engineers in Florida?
Employers hiring environmental engineers in Florida right now include Terracon Consultants, CDM Smith, and EnSafe, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Florida's active environmental consulting sector, combined with large infrastructure and utility clients, keeps demand across the state steady throughout the year.
Which Florida cities have the most environmental engineer jobs?
Jacksonville, Tampa, and Sarasota have the most environmental engineer openings in Florida. Miami's concentration of coastal, remediation, and infrastructure projects drives volume there, while Tampa and Orlando anchor large consulting office presences and serve as regional hubs for utility and municipal clients across central and west Florida.
Are there remote environmental engineer jobs in Florida?
Yes, but they're less common than in purely desk-based fields, since much environmental engineering work involves field investigations, site visits, and regulatory inspections that require a physical presence. About 17% of environmental engineer openings tied to Florida are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, with remote work most often available for report writing, data analysis, and regulatory review tasks.
How can I get hired as a environmental engineer in Florida with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying for staff engineer or environmental scientist roles at mid-size to large consulting firms operating in Florida, such as environmental and infrastructure consultancies with offices in Tampa, Miami, or Orlando. Many of these firms hire new graduates directly into project support roles involving field sampling, report preparation, and permit applications. Passing the Fundamentals of Engineering exam early strengthens your candidacy, and internships with FDEP or with county environmental departments give candidates a practical credential that larger firms recognize when reviewing new-grad applications.
