What is the employment prospect of environmental protection major in junior college?

Environmental protection industry is called sunrise industry in 2 1 century, with great development potential. With the substantial increase in investment in environmental protection, China's environmental protection industry has developed rapidly and become an important part of the national economy. The rapid development and remarkable benefits of environmental protection industry are undoubtedly the results of research and development by environmental protection technicians. However, at present, China's environmental protection industry is facing a serious shortage of talents, and the existing environmental protection technical talents are difficult to adapt to the development of the national economy. If the number of environmental protection technicians is calculated as 5% of environmental protection employees, it needs 500,000 people. However, the existing environmental protection technicians in China are far from the actual demand, and the task of cultivating environmental protection technicians is very arduous. At the same time, the development and utilization of renewable energy has become an important part of the world's sustainable energy development strategy. The government's policy support, social recognition and abundant renewable resources in China make the development prospect of new energy industry in China very broad. The majors related to environmental protection include environmental science, environmental engineering, energy and environmental system engineering, resources, environment and science.

Different environmental protection fields need different environmental protection talents. Environmental protection companies that focus on water treatment are favored by talents with professional backgrounds in water supply and drainage and environmental engineering; Companies dealing with desulfurization and dust removal need environmental engineering or electrical professionals. On the whole, the company category and talent demand can be divided into four categories:

The first category is water treatment and environmental protection companies, including industrial and municipal wastewater treatment. Such companies need more drainage professionals;

The second category is environmental protection companies that deal with waste, including the treatment of domestic waste and hazardous waste. In this kind of companies, environmental engineering and thermal energy majors, chemical machinery talents are the main force;

The third category is environmental protection equipment manufacturing companies. Environmental engineering and mechanical talents are needed, and many of these talents are transformed from mechanical majors, such as mechanical automation;

The fourth category is professional environmental consulting companies, which need environmental consulting talents.

In addition, the development of environmental protection industry has also spawned a series of new occupations: for example, environmental planners who plan the development of the entire environmental protection industry as a whole; Environmental assessment engineer who evaluates the enterprise environment; There are also environmental protection brokers with strong capital operation ability.

Hot environmental protection work

From the perspective of job requirements, environmental maintenance manager, safety, health and environment specialist, water treatment engineer, environmental protection engineer and environmental protection operation manager are the key positions required by many enterprises. On the whole, the following three types of talents are favored by the industry:

technician

Technical personnel can be divided into three categories: technical R&D personnel engaged in technological innovation and providing technical support for engineering projects; Business technical support personnel with certain technical background, relying on technical description to open up the market and having the ability of business technical communication; Engineering and technical personnel engaged in engineering design, engineering implementation and system debugging.

Environmental protection industry is a high-tech industry, and enterprises need excellent technical talents to develop products with high added value and high technology content to meet the needs of pollution control in special processes. Nowadays, among the environmental protection talents, there are very few technical talents who can not only control large-scale projects, but also undertake multiple large-scale environmental engineering design projects at the same time and independently design multiple large-scale environmental engineering projects. If there is a successful engineering project in a certain professional field, the enterprise will immediately extend an olive branch. Posts related to technology research and development basically require talents with postgraduate education or working experience in related enterprises.

Marketing personnel

With high-tech environmental protection talents to design and manufacture products, but without excellent marketing personnel, it is difficult to open domestic and foreign markets. At present, there is a lack of international legislation and standards on environmental pollution control, and there are sales environmental protection talents who have overseas marketing.

Environmental consulting talents

China's environmental protection industry is still in the initial stage from environmental pollution countermeasures to all-round development, so environmental protection products manufacturers account for 40% of the industry, while few companies are engaged in environmental protection consulting services, even if there are foreign-funded enterprises, and the degree of talent localization is not high. With the growth of market demand, the demand for talents who can formulate policies and plans for government departments and provide consultation for large-scale projects, schemes and feasibility studies will expand.

Wt foreman

In the environmental protection industry, water treatment engineering developed earlier, because its related position-water treatment engineer has always been popular.

Generally speaking, the technical part of water treatment company is divided into three stages: design, research and development, and project experiment. Design includes process design, construction design, etc. R&D refers to the development of new products, which is the source of new technology. Project experiment means to see whether the project is feasible through actual operation before the implementation of large-scale projects. Generally, small water treatment companies only have the ability of project design. R&D and experiments need a lot of capital investment, which only large-scale companies can afford.

The responsibilities of the water treatment engineer revolve around three stages, mainly responsible for the design and consultation of water treatment in engineering consulting projects, including the process design of domestic sewage and some high-concentration organic wastewater; Carry out the construction, operation and commissioning of related facilities.

The specific requirements of this position are familiarity with sewage treatment process and water supply treatment process, experience in design institute or related engineering design, proficiency in using CAD drawing software, and registered consultant (investment) qualification is preferred. With the emergence of new technology and knowledge, the entry requirements of water treatment engineers are getting higher and higher. In addition to the corresponding theoretical basis, practical experience is also needed.

operation manager

The construction and operation of environmental protection equipment is directly related to the interests of enterprises, so the operation manager is particularly important in enterprises.

The main work of the operation manager has two aspects: first, the analysis and collation of data. That is, analyze more than a dozen daily operation data of the laboratory, confirm the safe and low-consumption operation of the equipment, and ensure that the emissions meet the national emission standards; The second is on-site inspection. Mainly refers to the observation of equipment operation, found problems and timely adjustment.

In addition to the professional background of environmental protection, the most important thing for an operation manager is to have rich on-site experience and adaptability, which cannot be done without 3-5 years of training. Operation management will often encounter all kinds of problems, which requires the spirit of continuous exploration and the ability to solve problems. In addition, the operation manager also needs a strong sense of responsibility, patience, comprehensiveness, meticulousness and a comprehensive grasp of on-site capabilities are all necessary.

Quality/Safety/Environment Engineer

This position is widely recruited in various environmental protection enterprises, especially some food, chemical and automobile enterprises.

Its work includes: implementing national and local guidelines, policies and regulations on environmental protection industry, and managing engineering technology; Review the construction organization design of general projects, guide the preparation of professional construction plans, and supervise the implementation of technology, quality, safety and environment during project implementation; Participate in project commencement, concealed project acceptance and completed project acceptance, and supervise and inspect the timeliness and accuracy of quality evaluation during project implementation; Cooperate with department leaders to carry out technological innovation and organize exchange activities of new technologies, new processes and new materials.
