What is a Environmental Services Consultant?

What is a Environmental Services Consultant?
By Peter Hung


The kind of changes that need to be implemented in a manufacturing based business have altered in the last decade. A dramatic shift in focus towards greater efficiency, green technologies and a recycling ethic has given many managing directors across the UK plenty to think about. Changing a process is one thing, but the conception and evaluation elements are beyond a company director, and this is why Environmental Consultants are needed.

The kind of changes that an environment consultant will bring are varied, ranging from lean manufacturing techniques to reduce input against output through to carbon emissions and waste management. The waste management aspect is an area where many manufacturers fall down, having high levels of waste which isn't treated in the right way. The government are offering big incentives in many formats to help reduce production waste, and a consultant will be aware of these.

With this type of service being a relatively new one when it comes to a business agenda, there are likely to be less firms offering a professional solution. Finding an environmental consultant in London for example is easy, as there are many choices available due to the high number of large organisations in the City. This shows that the population density of an area or county determines how many consultancies can service the region. In North Yorkshire there will be far less options, due to the fact most of the land in the area is not populated.

Aside from doing your part in saving the Earth, having a career in this field is very lucrative and rewarding. Amidst mounting public concern regarding climate change and environmental degradation, this particular industry is expected to grow enormously in the next 3-5 years. More and more companies who are now using "going green" as part of their marketing campaign, are more than happy to spend good money on this particular consulting service as this would mean more chances of attracting new business for their company. Aside from having the needed educational background and skills, it will also help if you are an environmentalist yourself and that you have first-hand relevant experience and relevant background.

In the coal bed methane industry environmental consulting is used to help determine and implement safe disposal methods. This includes finding soils that are both physically and chemically suited to be used in water disposal and also monitoring the condition of the soil, and vegetation, in the immediate vicinity of the disposal area. This monitoring starts before disposal begins and usually involves detailed soil surveys and vegetation surveys to establish the natural state of the environment. Once disposal begins the area is monitored for any changes that can be attributed to the disposal methods of the corporation.
