Environmental Engineer Jobs in Maryland: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a environmental engineer in Maryland?
You become a licensed environmental engineer in Maryland by earning a qualifying engineering degree, passing the Fundamentals of Engineering exam to become an Engineer in Training, then accumulating supervised experience before sitting for the Principles and Practice of Engineering exam through the Maryland Board for Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors. Many Maryland employers will hire EITs who are actively working toward full Professional Engineer licensure.
How much do environmental engineers make in Maryland?
Environmental engineers in Maryland earn a median of about $97,570 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $62,380 for the lowest 10% to over $156,750 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire environmental engineers in Maryland?
Employers hiring environmental engineers in Maryland right now include The Whiting-Turner Contracting Company, WSP, and Noblis, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Maryland's mix of federal agencies, defense contractors, and environmental consulting firms creates a broad and consistent base of openings across the state.
Which Maryland cities have the most environmental engineer jobs?
Baltimore, Towson, and Bethesda lead Maryland for environmental engineer openings. Baltimore drives volume through its port, industrial corridor, and proximity to major consulting firms, while suburban Washington cities along the I-270 and I-95 corridors benefit from heavy federal agency and defense contractor presence that generates continuous compliance and remediation work.
Are there remote environmental engineer jobs in Maryland?
Yes, but they're limited. Much of the environmental engineer role involves site visits, field sampling, and in-person agency coordination that cannot be done remotely. About 100% of environmental engineer openings tied to Maryland are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, with remote eligibility most common for data analysis, report writing, and environmental impact documentation tasks.
How can I get hired as a environmental engineer in Maryland with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying for an EIT or staff environmental engineer role at a consulting firm while sitting for the Fundamentals of Engineering exam. Large Maryland-based consultancies and federal contractors regularly bring on new graduates for field technician, environmental analyst, and junior project support positions. Lateral candidates from civil or chemical engineering backgrounds are competitive, and completing a Maryland Department of the Environment internship or a cooperative education program through University of Maryland or Johns Hopkins strengthens an early application considerably.
