Careers in Environmental Geology: What You Should Know

Environmental geology offers professionals the opportunity to work at the intersection of science, regulation, and practical business problem-solving. Environmental science requires a broader understanding of numerous sciences, including geology, hydrology, engineering, chemistry, physics, biology, health sciences, etc. For those entering or advancing in the field, understanding how environmental geology applies to real-world compliance challenges is essential. Converse Consultants has built its reputation since 1946 on delivering exactly that kind of applied expertise, helping clients in California, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and beyond navigate complex regulatory requirements without unnecessary cost or delay.

One of the more technical and regulation-heavy areas within environmental geology is underground storage tank management. Converse Consultants provides UST removal oversight, sampling, and assessment services across multiple states, each with its own requirements tied to EPA guidelines. In Nevada, for example, removals must be performed by a State Certified Underground Tank Handler and sampling by a State Certified Environmental Manager. Professionals in environmental geology who pursue these credentials become highly valuable to firms like Converse, which maintains certified staff and works with a broad network of qualified handlers to keep client projects moving efficiently and in compliance.

For businesses, working with a firm that employs skilled environmental geology professionals means faster project timelines, reduced regulatory risk, and cost-effective solutions rather than open-ended remediation. Converse Consultants, an employee-owned firm, brings that depth of expertise to clients across transportation, commercial, residential, and public agency sectors.
