Industrial companies in many different business areas are, based on our experience, the most common workplaces for environmental engineers from Novia. The duties are diverse. Environmental engineers are often developers, managers, project engineers or responsible for communication and authority contacts concerning environmental issues. Many engineers are consultants, supporting industrial companies in environmental issues or cooperating in different projects concerning for instance renewable energy production or waste management. You can also become a governmental or local official or find a challenging job in associations or international organisations.
The Vaasa region hosts the biggest concentration of energy-related business activities in Northern European countries, including many international companies, http://www.energyvaasa.fi/en/ .
