ATS Resume Optimization for Landfill Engineers & Landfill Design Engineers

This is a licensed-PE civil/environmental-engineering specialty โ€” liner-system design, cell construction, cap engineering, and gas-collection-system design โ€” narrower than this vertical's broader Environmental Engineer title, from which it is separated by its landfill-cell/liner-design specificity. The closest government proxy is Civil Engineers (SOC 17-2051), a $99,590 median, +5% growth (2024-2034), and roughly 23,600 annual openings, while title-specific job-board data is convergent across two sources: ZipRecruiter's $87,220 "Landfill Engineer" average and its higher $111,500 "Landfill Design Engineer" figure, a real scope spread. A licensed PE stamp on landfill design documents makes this a genuinely licensure-dense title. We rewrite your resume so your liner-system and PE-stamp vocabulary matches what recruiters filter on.
