Environmental Engineer Salary in Netherlands

Environmental Engineer pay in Netherlands: Amsterdam leads, Rotterdam trails

The Netherlands national median for a environmental engineer is € 136.000 a year. Among 2 metros with observed data, pay runs from about € 90.200 in Rotterdam to € 102.000 in Amsterdam (1.1×).

Environmental engineers design solutions to protect and improve the environment. Common screening skills include Water systems, Remediation, Regulations, and Analysis.

A modeled national band runs about € 94.400–€ 186.900 around that midpoint. Licensing and immigration rules are independent of this cash sort. Employment outlook for the occupation is sketched at +7% over a decade — a national demand guess, not a hiring guarantee in every Dutch city.

Amsterdam sits -25% vs the national median; Rotterdam sits -34%. Relocating inside Netherlands for this title can move cash more than a small raise at the same desk. Open a city page for take-home and rent context — this national page is the map, not the offer.
