Every day is different for me in environmental consulting. In this kind of work it's almost easier to think about a typical month.
Tasks change daily, primarily because many projects are only weeks long.
Most of my time now is spent in the office, while a few engineers, geologists, and scientists conduct field assignments for my projects. As a project manager, I spend my time talking with my clients, reviewing reports, tracking money spent, and making sure that others have enough to do. Sometimes I will travel to a job site to check on the progress of the field work. Because most of my sites are within driving range, my long distance travel is limited to planning meetings and work groups trying to solve a particular technical problem. The best part of environmental consulting is when I use my scientific training to review reports, discuss interpretations, and analyze the technical data that have been collected.
