Outlook
The outlook for environmental consultants is bright, with much faster than average job growth expected in the coming years. According to IBISWorld, most environment consulting businesses employed more workers in 2024 than they did in 2019, and numbers are projected to increase. Employment for management consultants (including environmental consultants) is expected to grow by 11 percent through 2033, according to the Occupational Outlook Handbook (OOH).
Environmental consultants will be in demand by many industries, but especially by the renewable energy, construction, natural gas and other fossil fuel, and waste management industries. Job opportunities will be best for consultants with knowledge of energy efficiency and carbon emissions.
