How much do water science jobs pay per year?
What is the difference between Water Science vs Water Quality Technician?
| Aspect | Water Science | Water Quality Technician |
|---|---|---|
| Required Credentials | Bachelor's degree in environmental science, hydrology, or related field | Associate's or bachelor's degree in environmental science, chemistry, or related field |
| Work Environment | Research labs, field sites, environmental agencies | Water treatment plants, laboratories, field sampling sites |
| Employer & Industry Usage | Environmental consulting, government agencies, research institutions | Municipal water treatment facilities, environmental testing labs |
Water Science involves studying water systems, conducting research, and analyzing water data, often in research or policy roles. Water Quality Technicians focus on testing and monitoring water quality at treatment plants or field sites. While both roles require knowledge of water analysis, Water Science emphasizes research and data interpretation, whereas Water Quality Technicians concentrate on sample collection and lab testing.

Welcome to Verdantas, where innovation meets sustainability, and your career finds purpose!
At Verdantas, we're redefining environmental consulting and sustainable engineering through our use of cutting-edge modeling and digital technology and our genuine commitment to people. Our work spans high-growth sectors like water resources, resilient land use, energy transformation, and civil infrastructure.
Our commitment to excellence, across more than 90 offices, is championed by a team of over 2,000 experts, scientists, engineers, geologists, and technical specialists, embedded in a people-focused culture, prioritizing the well-being of our employees, clients, and the communities we serve. We partner with clients to deliver smart, data-driven solutions to complex environmental and infrastructure challenges. We don't just solve problems; we help shape a more sustainable future.
Join a people-first culture that values your well-being, empowers your growth, and amplifies your impact. At Verdantas, your career goes beyond the expected, and your work helps build a better world.
Ready to shape the future of resilient communities?
Verdantas is seeking a Senior Water/Wastewater Engineer to join any of our New Hampshire, Maine, Vermont, or Massachusetts offices and contribute to infrastructure projects that directly benefit communities.
As part of our commitment to enhancing infrastructure across New England, you'll play a key role in delivering a wide range of meaningful water and wastewater projects.
You'll contribute to municipal infrastructure improvements, including multi-million dollar upgrades to water and sewer systems in communities such as Lisbon, Northumberland, Whitefield, Newport, and Enfield, NH. These projects span treatment facilities, pump stations, distribution mains, and stormwater systems.
Your work will also support community water systems, partnering with manufactured housing communities and cooperatives to develop wells, construct pump houses, and replace aging distribution networks in areas like Lee Oak Cooperative (NH), Wardtown MHP (ME), and Sanbornville Water Precinct (NH).
Additionally, you'll lead feasibility studies and phased design efforts for clients such as the Balsams Resort and Littleton Water & Light, tackling challenges in wastewater treatment, intake systems, and pressure management.
When joining our team, you will be welcomed into an environment that values what you bring to the table, supports continuous growth in the Water/Wastewater field, and celebrates the accomplishments you achieve. Ranked the #1 firm to work for in 2025 by Zweig Group and Verdantas employees, you won't be just joining a firm; you'll be investing in your career.
What You'll Do:
Design, manage, and take responsible charge of various civil engineering-related project design tasks with a focus on infrastructure projects such as drinking water treatment, distribution, and storage, wastewater collection, road and drainage improvements, and other engineering-related tasks
Prepare and certify reports, permit applications, and related materials for local, state, and federal land development, infrastructure, and other related permits
Prepare engineering studies and cost opinions for a variety of water and wastewater projects
CAD Design work, including Civil 3D
Construction Services Assistance, including construction contract administration, resident project representative management, and preparation of contract and bidding documents
What You Bring:
NH PE License is required, and VT and ME licenses are highly desirable
Bachelor of Science in civil engineering or related field
8+ years of professional experience in the practice of civil engineering with a focus on water and wastewater design in northern New England or a similar setting
Experience with AutoCAD design software, including Civil3D
Technical experience in water and wastewater infrastructure, stormwater, and site design and permitting in New Hampshire or a similar regulatory environment
Sound understanding of civil engineering fundamentals, including stormwater/drainage design, surface water hydraulics, water and sewer systems, and roadway/parking design
Strong technical skills
Ability to complete field work, including carrying equipment and walking on undeveloped sites
Salary Range:
The starting salary for this position is $120,000, with final compensation determined based on qualifications, experience, and licensing status.
Benefits:
