Environmental Technician

An Environmental Technician monitors and analyses environmental conditions to support conservation and sustainability efforts. You might work in laboratories, conduct field tests, or gather samples to assess pollution levels in air, water, or soil. Environmental Technicians focus on collecting accurate data, maintaining equipment, and ensuring compliance with environmental regulations. You’ll assist in preparing reports and recommendations for environmental management strategies.

Environmental Technicians play a crucial role in protecting the environment. You’ll need to be detail-oriented, methodical, and have strong problem-solving skills. You’ll collaborate with environmental scientists, engineers, and other stakeholders to ensure that environmental standards are upheld and that the natural environment is preserved for future generations.
