Environmental Engineer Jobs in Ohio: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a environmental engineer in Ohio?

The standard path is a bachelor's degree in environmental or civil engineering from an ABET-accredited program, followed by passing the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam to become an Engineer in Training registered with the Ohio State Board of Registration for Professional Engineers and Surveyors. After gaining qualifying work experience, you sit for the Principles and Practice of Engineering (PE) exam. Many Ohio employers will hire without a PE license but expect candidates to be on the licensure path.

How much do environmental engineers make in Ohio?

Environmental engineers in Ohio earn a median of about $113,180 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $69,000 for the lowest 10% to over $145,490 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire environmental engineers in Ohio?

Employers hiring environmental engineers in Ohio right now include CDM Smith, AECOM, and Amazon, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Ohio's legacy of heavy manufacturing, mining, and industrial land use keeps a wide range of consulting firms, utilities, and state agency offices consistently active in this market.

Which Ohio cities have the most environmental engineer jobs?

Columbus, Akron, and Dublin have the most environmental engineer openings in Ohio. Columbus leads as the state capital and home to the Ohio EPA's central offices, Cleveland draws heavily from its industrial and port corridor along Lake Erie, and Cincinnati's chemical and manufacturing base along the Ohio River generates steady compliance and remediation work across the metro.

Are there remote environmental engineer jobs in Ohio?

Yes, but they're rare. Environmental engineering is largely a field-based role requiring site visits, sampling, and in-person regulatory coordination, which limits remote work. About 40% of environmental engineer openings tied to Ohio are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, and those positions tend to be concentrated in data review, report writing, and regulatory consulting work rather than active site assessment.

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

The most realistic entry path is applying to environmental consulting firms that run structured new-graduate programs, such as the large national firms with Ohio offices that hire EITs directly from ABET-accredited programs at Ohio State, the University of Cincinnati, and Case Western Reserve. Entry-level titles like environmental scientist, field technician, or junior project coordinator are common stepping stones. Passing the FE exam before graduation and completing an internship with an Ohio EPA-permitted facility gives candidates a meaningful edge in a competitive pool.

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

You can find and apply to environmental engineer jobs in Ohio on Migrate Mate, which lists current Ohio openings across consulting firms, public agencies, utilities, and industrial employers. Find the roles that fit your experience and specialization and apply directly through each listing.
