Career ProfilesCareer ProfilesEnvironmentEnvironmental careers cover a broad range of occupations, all connecting work practices with environmental processes – at local or global levels. As our society becomes more aware of the economic importance of a sustainable environment, the demand for expertise in fields involving the management and protection of the natural environment, monitoring the impact of human activity upon the environment, and rehabilitation or restoration of the environment, are growing. This growth occurs across both the public and private sectors. Environmental careers are often multidisciplinary in nature – which makes them rewarding and interesting.The range of career options in both the public and private sectors is extensive and in no way restricted to a specific area. Basic scientific skills and environmental experience can lead to jobs such as: botanist, zoologist, soil scientist, meteorologist, environmental engineer, hydrologist, forester, policy officer, campaign officer, communications manager and marine biologist.
