The Nevada Division of Environmental Protection (NDEP) employs over 220 professionals at offices in Carson City and Las Vegas. The two primary job classifications in the Division are Professional Engineer and Environmental Scientist. These professionals design, implement and manage NDEP's complex regulatory and environmental quality initiatives and are responsible for a variety of programs and services.

The State of Nevada Department of Personnel website contains current job vacancies, announcements and instructions for applying for employment with the State of Nevada. Prospective candidates must be on the appropriate job classification lists to be considered for a position. For the Environmental Scientist (ES) job series (ES II, III & IV), candidates are required to pass the ES exam before they can be put on the ES lists. Individuals licensed as Professional Engineers need only meet the job application requirements for Staff Engineer (SE) positions (i.e., SE II, III & IV). The Department of Personnel now accepts only on-line employment applications. The system will allow you the ability to conveniently search and apply for job openings, store applicant profile information and submit applications electronically. Position vacancies are announced daily.
