Environmental Engineer for a renewable power company. The term "engineer" is very loose as I don't have an engineering degree and I'm not doing engineering work like autoCAD or anything.

It's been a challenging position because some of the things I push for on projects are costly and not usually required for the project to be built, and so I have to justify myself a lot. I'm not good with conflict but it's a good way to learn and get experience with it.

Environmental Consultant.

Great gig.

I was an env consultant for ~5 years in the beginning of my career. I'd probably still be doing it if the pay was comparable to my current position. There was always a decent amount of variation in the work and I could make up my own solutions to problems. I learned a bit of coding and instantly became super valuable to PMs because almost no one in the company knew how to do it and it was like magic to them. I did hate the sales/business side of it though and it seemed like it was inevitable I'd have to do more and more of it if I wanted to progress.
