Environmental Engineer
Class
http://proethica.org/ontology/intermediate#EnvironmentalEngineer
Definition
A professional engineering role specializing in environmental systems, contaminant analysis, groundwater monitoring, and related infrastructure design, bearing licensure-based accountability for technical reports and engineering documents delivered to clients.
Inherited from EngineerRole
A professional role involving engineering practice and responsibilities. Occupational archetype head for all engineer specializations and extracted engineer-role leaves.

Match Reasoning
Environmental Engineer is a specialization of Engineer Role in the ontology. The ontology has Engineer Role as the occupational archetype head for all engineer specializations, so this is a medium-confidence match to the parent. A distinct leaf class is warranted because environmental engineering carries domain-specific obligations around contaminant reporting and groundwater infrastructure not captured by the generic Engineer Role.
