Environmental Engineer Jobs in Pennsylvania: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a environmental engineer in Pennsylvania?
You become a licensed environmental engineer in Pennsylvania by earning a bachelor's degree in engineering from an accredited program, passing the Fundamentals of Engineering exam, accumulating the required years of progressive experience, and then passing the Principles and Practice of Engineering exam through the Pennsylvania State Registration Board for Professional Engineers, Land Surveyors and Geologists. Many Pennsylvania employers expect candidates to hold or be actively pursuing Professional Engineer licensure, particularly for roles involving regulatory submittals or leading site assessments.
How much do environmental engineers make in Pennsylvania?
Environmental engineers in Pennsylvania earn a median of about $103,330 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $47,930 for the lowest 10% to over $149,990 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire environmental engineers in Pennsylvania?
Employers hiring environmental engineers in Pennsylvania right now include Langan Engineering and Environmental Services, CDM Smith, and Tetra Tech, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Pennsylvania's active Superfund sites, legacy industrial corridors, and robust municipal infrastructure projects keep a wide range of consulting firms, government agencies, and utility companies hiring consistently across the state.
Which Pennsylvania cities have the most environmental engineer jobs?
Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, and Holicong have the most environmental engineer openings in Pennsylvania. Philadelphia draws the highest volume thanks to its concentration of engineering consulting firms, the Philadelphia Water Department, and proximity to industrial Superfund sites, while Pittsburgh's legacy steel and manufacturing footprint sustains strong remediation and compliance work, and Harrisburg's role as the state capital generates steady demand through the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection and related state agencies.
Are there remote environmental engineer jobs in Pennsylvania?
Yes, but they're rare. Environmental engineering is largely a field-based role requiring site visits, soil and water sampling, and in-person regulatory coordination, which limits full remote arrangements. About 27% of environmental engineer openings tied to Pennsylvania are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, and the positions most likely to offer flexible scheduling tend to be data analysis, report writing, and project management responsibilities rather than fieldwork.
How can I get hired as a environmental engineer in Pennsylvania with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying for environmental scientist or junior EHS associate roles at Pennsylvania consulting firms, where new graduates commonly start before moving into full engineering responsibilities. Large firms with Pennsylvania offices like AECOM and WSP run structured new-graduate programs that include field training and mentorship. A strong internship with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, an EIT credential in hand, and coursework in Pennsylvania-specific regulations like Act 2 land recycling give candidates a measurable edge in the application process.
