Environmental Engineer Jobs in Washington: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a environmental engineer in Washington?
To become a licensed environmental engineer in Washington, you earn a bachelor's degree in engineering from an accredited program, pass the Fundamentals of Engineering exam, accumulate supervised engineering experience, and then pass the Principles and Practice of Engineering exam. Licensure is granted through the Washington State Board of Registration for Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors. Many employers require or strongly prefer a PE license for project leadership roles, and some entry positions accept an Engineer-in-Training designation while you complete the experience requirement.
How much do environmental engineers make in Washington?
Environmental engineers in Washington earn a median of about $125,460 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $80,660 for the lowest 10% to over $175,610 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire environmental engineers in Washington?
Employers hiring environmental engineers in Washington right now include Amazon, State of Washington, and Packaging Corporation of America, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Washington's mix of major infrastructure projects, Superfund sites, and active construction activity means both large national consulting firms and state agency divisions maintain ongoing hiring pipelines for this role.
Which Washington cities have the most environmental engineer jobs?
Seattle, Lacey, and Redmond have the most environmental engineer openings in Washington. Seattle and its Eastside suburbs drive the largest share of demand through major consulting offices, tech campus development, and proximity to Puget Sound remediation programs, while Tacoma and other metro areas benefit from port-related environmental compliance work and Washington State agency field offices.
Are there remote environmental engineer jobs in Washington?
Yes, but they're limited. Environmental engineering involves significant field work, site inspections, and agency coordination that require physical presence, so fully remote roles are less common than in desk-based fields. About 67% of environmental engineer openings tied to Washington are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, and those that are tend to cover data analysis, report writing, and regulatory review tasks that do not require on-site access.
How can I get hired as a environmental engineer in Washington with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying directly to environmental consulting firms and Washington State agency programs that hire recent graduates into junior engineer or environmental scientist roles. The Washington State Department of Ecology, large consulting firms with Seattle or Tacoma offices, and municipal utilities regularly bring on new graduates for stormwater, remediation, and permitting support work. Earning your Engineer-in-Training certification after the Fundamentals of Engineering exam signals readiness and gives you a competitive edge. Adjacent roles in environmental science, civil engineering technician work, or laboratory analysis also serve as practical stepping stones.
