Environmental Scientists assess and mitigate the impact of human activity on the natural environment. Day to day work mixes site investigations (soil sampling, water testing, ecological surveys), Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) report writing, planning consultation responses, sustainability assessments and increasingly carbon footprint analysis. UK Environmental Science splits between consultancy (Arup, AECOM, Atkins environmental teams), regulatory (Environment Agency, Natural England, SEPA), energy / utilities (Thames Water, National Grid, Octopus Energy), and major infrastructure projects (HS2, Hinkley Point, offshore wind). Assess environmental impacts of construction, energy and industrial projects Monitor air, water and soil quality across UK sites Specialise into ecology, contamination, sustainability, climate adaptation Work for Arup, AECOM, Atkins, Environment Agency, water utilities and energy companies What does an Environmental Scientist do? Environmental scientists work for environmental consultancies, the Environment Agency, energy companies, water utilities and major UK construction projects. UK salary ranges UK Environmental Scientist pay scales steadily with IEMA chartership. Graduate environmental scientists at consultancies start at £26,000-£32,000.

Environmental Scientists assess and mitigate the impact of human activity on the natural environment. Day to day work mixes site investigations (soil sampling, water testing, ecological surveys), Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) report writing, planning consultation responses, sustainability assessments and increasingly carbon footprint analysis. UK Environmental Science splits between consultancy (Arup, AECOM, Atkins environmental teams), regulatory (Environment Agency, Natural England, SEPA), energy / utilities (Thames Water, National Grid, Octopus Energy), and major infrastructure projects (HS2, Hinkley Point, offshore wind). Assess environmental impacts of construction, energy and industrial projects Monitor air, water and soil quality across UK sites Specialise into ecology, contamination, sustainability, climate adaptation Work for Arup, AECOM, Atkins, Environment Agency, water utilities and energy companies What does an Environmental Scientist do? Environmental scientists work for environmental consultancies, the Environment Agency, energy companies, water utilities and major UK construction projects. UK salary ranges UK Environmental Scientist pay scales steadily with IEMA chartership. Graduate environmental scientists at consultancies start at £26,000-£32,000. Chartered Environmentalists (CEnv, Year 4 6) reach £40,000-£55,000. Senior environmental consultants and Principal Environmental Scientists reach £55,000-£80,000+.
