How to start as an Environmental Engineer in the London area?

Question

I am really disappointed - everybody talks about recycling yet here I am with a degree and I can't get a job. I know as an Eastern EuropeanI can start on a senior level (and man, I am keen on an administrator position just let me start it!), but even for junior positions they expect 2years experience!
I have 1 year experience in waste management (project work, not UK based).

I phoned recycling companies and they wouldn't recruit without an agency (but wouldn't tell the name of the agency).
Councils go through the job centre, but I can't apply for jobs in Ealing if I live in Wandsworth.


Do you know an agency I should contact?

Are you an Environmental Engineer in waste management and have some ideas or tips?

In London.
For someone who gained a degree in another European country.

Do you know an agency?

Are you an agent?

I am all ears to suggestions, pleaseeeee!

Many thanks

I am not in waste management, nor overseas. But to garner an entry level position in the US is as easy as looking up companies in the yellow pages "Environmental Consultants" or "Engineers Environmental".

Using career builder.com (I do not think they list the UK), search Enviromental and go from there.

You will need to find the most popular job listing site for the UK and go there.
