Environmental Engineer Jobs in Georgia: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a environmental engineer in Georgia?

Becoming an environmental engineer in Georgia requires a bachelor's degree in environmental or civil engineering from an accredited program, followed by licensure through the Georgia State Board of Registration for Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors. After earning your degree, you work under a licensed PE to accumulate the required experience, then pass the Fundamentals of Engineering and Principles and Practice of Engineering exams. Many Georgia employers in consulting and state agency work require or strongly prefer a Professional Engineer credential before advancing to project lead roles.

How much do environmental engineers make in Georgia?

Environmental engineers in Georgia earn a median of about $96,530 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $64,810 for the lowest 10% to over $144,870 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire environmental engineers in Georgia?

Employers hiring environmental engineers in Georgia right now include Arclin, Terracon Consultants, and WSP, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Georgia's mix of large environmental consulting firms, state infrastructure agencies, and industrial manufacturers in the chemical and paper sectors creates consistent demand across both public and private sectors.

Which Georgia cities have the most environmental engineer jobs?

Atlanta, Savannah, and Kennesaw lead Georgia in environmental engineer openings. Atlanta's concentration of national consulting firms, corporate headquarters, and Georgia EPD offices drives the bulk of hiring, while Savannah's growing port infrastructure and industrial base and Augusta's proximity to federal facilities and manufacturing corridors support strong demand outside the metro.

Are there remote environmental engineer jobs in Georgia?

Yes, but they're rare. Environmental engineering is fundamentally a field-intensive role involving site visits, sampling, and regulatory inspections that require physical presence. About 60% of environmental engineer openings tied to Georgia are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, and those positions tend to concentrate in report writing, data analysis, and project management functions rather than site work or compliance monitoring.

How can I get hired as a environmental engineer in Georgia with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is an environmental consulting internship or entry-level field technician role, which large Georgia firms like Jacobs and Arcadis regularly post for recent graduates. New grads who sit for the Fundamentals of Engineering exam before graduation signal commitment and move faster through hiring screens. Adjacent roles in environmental health and safety, stormwater inspection, or GIS analysis at Georgia county governments or the Georgia Department of Transportation are also common stepping stones into full environmental engineer positions.

Where can I find and apply to environmental engineer jobs in Georgia?

You can find and apply to environmental engineer jobs in Georgia on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers hiring in the state right now. Search the listings for roles that match your experience level and specialty, then apply directly to the ones that fit.
