Do military bases offer government environmental jobs?

I'm really interested in environmental work and wondering if there are government jobs related to this within the military. What kind of work is involved, and how can one find these opportunities?

Indeed, the military does offer environmental-related occupations and these jobs are quite varied in terms of nature and scope.

One of the major departments dealing with environmental issues in the military is the Department of Defense's (DoD) Environmental Management division. This department maintains compliance with environmental regulations and laws, ensuring that the military's activities do not adversely affect the environment and human health. Opportunities within this division can range from Environmental Protection Specialists who assess, manage, and enforce compliance to hazardous waste management, to Natural Resources Specialists focusing on maintaining ecosystems on military lands.

Military installations, being like small cities, need to manage their own waste, water, and energy, and minimize environmental impact. So, positions can also be found within the specific military bases, where environmental engineers and technicians might work with waste management, wetland and habitat restoration, air and water compliance, and more.

For searching for these opportunities, I recommend checking the USAJobs.gov website regularly. This is the official job site of the U.S. Federal Government and a wide spectrum of environmental job opportunities within the military are posted there. Also, military branches have their own recruitment and job posting sites where they list available civilian positions, including environmental roles.

Additionally, attending job fairs focused on federal employment or reaching out to representatives at military bases directly could be beneficial. You could also look into internship programs at the DoD which could provide valuable experience and potentially lead to full-time positions.
