A terraformer was a type of scientist who was responsible for the various techniques and processes in terraforming a planet.

According to Deanna Troi, "Terraformers are often obsessive. It frequently goes with the career profile." (TNG: "Home Soil")

Jadzia Dax's description of a terraformer further noted that "you can't tell them anything. It's a talent bringing dead worlds to life, but humility and common sense aren't part of the job description." According to terraformer Gideon Seyetik, "a great terraformer needs the green thumb of a gardener, the eye of a painter, and the soul of a poet," also adding, "and it doesn't hurt to be a raging egomaniac." (DS9: "Second Sight")
