The environmental sector is experiencing a sustained boom as global awareness of environmental issues is now top-of-mind. Since 2001, growth in the environmental workforce has consistently outpaced overall growth of the Canadian workforce and is projected to continue to do so (ELM Profile of Canadian Environmental Employment - Environmental Labour Market Research, 2007). There's a significant shortage of environmental employees with the required science background, technical and soft skills mix to meet the demand. Employment opportunities are diverse and new career prospects are emerging - especially in the private sector - as corporations discover that green corporate citizenship initiatives contribute to both long-term sustainability and market share. Entry-level job titles include:
Landscape Restoration Technician
Shoreline Naturalization or Restoration Technician
Watershed Planning Technician
Wetland Habitat Technician, Habitat Restoration Technician
Positions requiring more experience include:
Project Manager, Field and Stream Rescue Team
Watershed Restorationist
Stewardship Assistant
Remediation Specialist
Ecologist
Biodiversity Conservation Biologist
Whether you choose to work in the public or private sector, you will be well-equipped with the comprehensive science foundation, plus the technical and field skills that the Honours B.Sc. in Ecological Restoration provides. You also have the flexibility to pursue graduate studies if you choose to do so.
