Easy come, easy go? Air quality and
environmental health and safety jobs
appear and reappear rather mysteriously, it seems. When the demand for research & development services is high, the right people can seem impossible to find.
Where to look for employment? An individual looking at environmental health and safety jobs or perhaps a
job in meteorology
will usually start with government agencies, environmental engineering firms or
consultancy
job recruitment drives.
You might want to
find environmental regulatory
and compliance opportunities, waste management jobs or
other environmental health and safety jobs.
Or even weather jobs.

An informal rule around many companies is, "we're not hiring, but we're always hiring" kind of thing. That is if your skill set and presentation are deemed as extremely appropriate for one of our environmental health and safety jobs you will be deemed valuable regardless of whether the company is planning to add people or not.
At many consulting firms, a physics, chemistry, or
meteorology degree
or one of many available environmental engineering degrees is required even for entry-level scientific positions, with special consideration given for
graduate
work completed, established networks and related air quality modeling experience.
Pay particular attention to your marketing and organizational skills: they are strong assets which will get you far in many
environmental consulting
jobs.

If you are interested in working in
Calgary
in one of our air quality and environmental health and safety jobs, and especially if you have connections to clients and find yourself in need of the technical and administrative support or scientific guidance,
call us.
What if you have some experience and a client base already? What if you need to partner with a group that will provide support to develop and grow these relationships and complete the work? Please give Ann Jamieson a call at (403)560-7698. This firm is called Calvin Consulting Group Ltd., CCGL, and can be contacted by email at info @ calvinconsulting.ca (remove spaces).
