EXPERT ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEER IN SOIL AND TERRITORIAL PROTECTION
Main functions:
- Designs even complex interventions for the protection against damage from natural and anthropic causes (works to protect against hydrogeological risks, reclamation of hydrographical basins and waterways, coastal process management).
- Designs advanced monitoring, surveying, management and control systems for natural risks (seismic, volcanic and geomorphologic).
- Autonomously applies knowledge of topography and geodesics for cartography operations, surveying and complex observations.
- Carries out analyses to assess the environmental impact of complex engineering works.
- Designs and monitors draining systems and works/strategies for the management of water resources.
- Fully autonomously carries out mathematical simulations of physical processes which govern complex problems of water flows in the soil and subsoil.
- Implements and analyses geotechnical, geognostic investigations and soil stability analyses in a fully autonomous manner.
Professional figure:
EXPERT ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEER IN ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNIQUES AND TECHNOLOGIES
Main functions:
- Participates in environmental impact studies of civil works and industrial plants during the implementation, operation and decommissioning phases.
- Works in the technical departments of the civil service concerning all areas of environmental protection which fall within their competency.
- Collaborates with sector technicians to identify design, construction, maintenance, operating and shut-down methods for activities using the best techniques available to assure a high overall level of environmental protection.
- Is responsible for environmental management and/or safety programmes, the organisation and management of environmental control plans for activities which are subject to authorisation.
- Critically and fully autonomously intervenes in safety issues in process industries, indicating innovative methods and tools for assessment and problem solving.
- Identifies and quantifies the environmental impact of anthropic activity using forecasting models;
- Critically analyses, implements and manages even innovative technological interventions to reduce liquid, gassy, solid and noise emissions in civil and industrial waste treatment plants.
- Defines and autonomously manages technological interventions for waste disposal and recycling, as well as the reclamation of polluted sites.
- Designs, implements, tests and manages even complex environmental quality control systems. Also processes the data gathered for the purposes of environmental communication and the preparation of redevelopment plans.
Professional figure:
EXPERT ENVIRONMENTAL- MINING ENGINEER IN THE FIELD OF GEORESOURCES AND GEOTECHNOLOGIES
Main functions:
- Designs and manages even complex open air and underground excavations for civil and mining works in a fully autonomous manner;
- Autonomously solves problems concerning the cultivation and valorisation of geo-resources, aimed at the sustainable production of raw materials and industrial materials.
- Designs and manages even complex safety works in civil and mining worksites.
- Designs advanced processes for the treatment and recycling of demolition materials and mining waste.
- Designs, coordinates and manages even complex activities relative to the exploration, research and production of fluids present in the subsoil (hydrocarbons, water, geothermal fluids).
- Autonomously simulates using mathematical models complex problems concerning single- and multi-phase motion of soluble and non-soluble underground fluids.
- Fully autonomously assesses georesources – with particular reference to the selection of areas, cubage, sample optimisation, space-time distribution maps, using geostatistic methods.
Career opportunities:
The main career opportunities for 2nd cycle graduates in Environmental and Territory Engineering involve businesses, public and private authorities and professional firms working in innovation and development in the fields of production, advanced design, planning, implementation and management of environmental and territorial works and control and monitoring systems, soil defence, management of complex systems (waste, raw materials, environmental, geological and energy resources), assessment of environmental impact and compatibility of even complex plans and works.
Equally important are career opportunities in the field of both safety engineering and civil defence and the civil engineering field generally.
