sanitary engineer
Sewage systems specialist
A sanitary engineer designs and maintains systems for water supply, sewage treatment, and waste disposal—the infrastructure that keeps communities healthy.
The term also serves as a euphemism for garbage collector or janitor, elevating mundane work with professional-sounding language: My father was a sanitary engineer, which meant he drove a garbage truck.
