Employment of geological engineers is projected to grow 8 percent from 2018 to 2028, about as fast as the average for all occupations. Employment growth for geological engineers will be driven by demand by state and local governments’ concerns regarding water availability and quality should lead to efforts to increase the efficiency of water use. In addition, as companies look for ways to cut costs, they are expected to contract more services with engineering services firms, rather than employ engineers directly.
