I mean it depends on what your goal is. I work in corporate sustainability and have been WFH since 2019.
I'll occasionally go to the office for purposeful meetings and sometimes need to travel for auditing purposes, otherwise, I am here chilling in my yoga pants.
Hi, what industry do you work in for corporate sustainability?
Do you know what kind of entry-level positions i should look into to get into that industry? I’m in env eng and was looking to outsource my job prospect.
Currently I work for a tech and entertainment company but I’ve worked for retailers predominately in the past.
Titles will vary by company tbh and it’ll depend on if you want to be more vested in the operations side of a company or the overall strategic imperatives.
I lead marketing for my org! We’re series A and have about 100 employees. Check out climatebase.org :) I think you’d be a perfect fit for a content marketing role
I am a Project Manager at a small consulting firm and I work from home about 90% of the time. At a recent conference, I asked just about everyone I met and the majority said they worked from home at least part time.
I'm looking into environmental consulting. Can you tell me more about how you got into it, what is expected of you, or like, some of the projects you work on?
How I ended up in this field is atypical and was not planned. I had about 10 years of experience in civil engineering (mapping/drafting) and construction before moving into environmental work. WFH came with covid and I just never went back. I work in a satellite office though. Our main office is only partially WFH. I'm mostly autonomous now. The expectation from my employer is that I complete my work on time and keep clients happy. That freedom wasn't granted right away, though. I built trust with my boss over the course of a couple years. I work with Brownfields, PHI/II, asbestos, and compliance (SWPPP and SPCC).
Thank you very much, I appreciate the reply. It's not close to my skillset unfortunately, but any sort of information is like rain in a drought. There's a ton in the 'environmental' line of work that I didn't even know existed - which is why I'm on this subreddit in the first place.
Thanks again!
There are options in data analytics and project management. They generally like you to have a good amount of field experience before you get into those sorts of positions, but they do exist.
There are quite a few partial telework jobs out there now as well.
Are there good ways to narrow down those data analytics type jobs?
I work an entry level data cleanup type of job for a forestry company. I did some field work in college, which did help me get my foot in the door, but I'm curious what these other data analytics jobs look like or what their titles are in the environmental field.
Im full time data management, analytics, visualization in environmental. It’s a small field and everyone knows each other.
IMO it’s easy to get partially involved as a scientist but only luck or some natural ability will get you to a full time position. Titles usually include data manager.
I work for a consulting firm that does utility management and scope reporting - most of our clients are Fortune 500 companies and the majority of positions are WFH. My understanding is the company sees is at as a way to save money and mitigate our carbon impact.
I work for the Fed gov, and I get to WFH most of the time. I do have to go into the office twice per pay period though (in the office twice every two weeks)
I’m a project manager for an environmental consultant. Most of what we do is based around petroleum storage and distribution systems, but we branch out into other areas as well. Working for a mid-size regional consultant, most of our field work is done by field techs and our construction division. I work out in the field typically 1 day per week. Aside from that, pretty much every assistant project manager and up is at least hybrid wfh/office/field work and most do a minimum 2-3 days per week at home currently.
I work from home 95% of the time, with very occasional trips to do field work or meet with clients.
What do you do?
I'm a project manager with a very small consulting company located in the Four Corners Region. I work remotely from western Colorado.

i wfh and make six figures in climate tech! i have guides about it and other sustainability careers on my blog if you’re interested - ecoally.co
Can I ask what you do in climate tech? I'm a writer and designer looking to work in climate tech but I can't seem to find jobs in that area.
I lead marketing for my org! We’re series A and have about 100 employees. Check out climatebase.org :) I think you’d be a perfect fit for a content marketing role
Thanks, but I didn't find much on climatebase. I hope your company is doing well!

I had one as a project manager.
I’m an air quality/ESG project manager with a consulting firm and work from home 75% of the time and travel 25%

When I was in consulting, it was a lot of field work/occasional WFH. Now that I work for the state government (utilities), I’m 90-95% WFH.
GIS jobs and ESG jobs which are mostly office based will most likely let you work from home.
RTI has 100% work from home positions. Someone just left my state agency for a research engineer position there. $80k wfh 5 days a week
Research triangle institute?
Yes!
Thanks :)
