If you pass that exam then you can work as an EI (Engineer Intern) which you need to work at for typically 4 years and then you can take the PPE (Principals and Practices of Engineering) exam. When you pass that exam you are officially a licensed engineer. Job Outlook and Salary According to the United States Department of Labor, the median salary of a environmental engineer in 2017 was $86,800 per year or $41.73 per hour.
