What jobs usually go to Environmental Scientists, and what jobs go to Environmental Engineers?

Hello, I am an Energy Engineer focused on Renewables and Energy efficiency and it´s also a very interesting field. As I started we only had 2 MSc for that in Germany and there was another one in Sweden... Nowadays over 40 similar programms are offered. I work in the field of Energy and Climate Strategies, including carbon market design, energy efficiency, corporate carbon strategies and it´s an exciting field. The company I work for has now almost 500 people and it´s VERY difficult to hire... You can find who recruits and in which field on: http://www.endsjobsearch.co.uk/advertise/about/

E.S's . are basicly researchers and inventors. E.E.'s are the designers and builders of enviromental projects using the technology developed by the scientists. If you are asking which profession would be considered more prestigous or professional. , only you can answer that.For myself I think engineers have more leeway , because they take information and researched technology and apply it to a projects, many times as a dedicated, single ,specific component. I consider myself more hands on type of person.

Everyone works for the Env. Engineer. My father is an Environmental Engineer, he hires the scientist, the Geologists, and the consultants.

Here in California it is far more advantageous to be a geologist. Geologists rule the environmental field even more than do Environmental scientists. Go figure. The reason is that it requires a state registered geologists (PG) to sign papers. Engineers who have civil certification are approximately equal with a little different scope. They might handle remediation systems and that sort of thing whereas geologists would handle assessments. Honestly, I would strongly recommend not getting an environmental science degree. Probably it is unfair, but they are not provided as much respect. There may be places where environmental scientists are given more respect but I don't know where.

My son is an environmental engineer in London. He oversees new building projects and makes sure they are energy efficient. Also reviews energy use in existing buildings and recommends changes to save energy costs. Loves his job. Don't know what an environmental scientist would do.
