Ce que tu vas apprendre

The aim of the Natural Environment Technology program is to prepare students to practise the occupation of natural environment technician mainly in the fields of land use planning; rational natural resource use and development; and interpretation, information, education, protection, monitoring, restoration and conservation of the natural environment. In this program of study, the term “natural environment” includes terrestrial, aquatic and wetland ecosystems and the resources derived from water, air, soil, vegetation and wildlife. The work of a natural environment technician is performed with a view to sustainable development. This is best achieved through the integrated management of an area’s diverse natural components. Such an approach takes into account the many different functions, resources and users of the area concerned, along with the criteria for sustainable development, when selecting scenarios for its development. To do this, natural environment technicians must broaden their field of investigation, work in partnership, gather a variety of data and master the techniques required to manage the area’s resources and habitats. Specialization D: Environmental Protection The work of environmental protection technicians is associated with impact assessment studies, site characterization, waste management, decontamination and the implementation of measures to restore, mitigate and protect the environment. They must demonstrate a constant concern for environmental laws and regulations. Among other things, they may be asked to carry out natural or disturbed environment characterizations for diagnostic purposes, propose interventions, apply monitoring programs, provide technical support for environmental protection initiatives, communicate with various stakeholders, ensure that technical gear is available and in working order, manage inventory projects and environmental interventions, respond to complaints and write reports.

Le métier, en bref

Ils font des recherches sur des milieux naturels perturbés, proposent des mesures d’intervention et assurent le suivi. Ils offrent du soutien technique et logistique et gèrent des projets d’intervention. Ils répondent à des plaintes et rédigent des rapports. C’est un métier essentiel qui convient aux personnes soucieuses de l’environnement. Il demande de l’intérêt pour la gestion et la résolution de problèmes ainsi que des qualités d’autonomie et de responsabilité. Une carrière comme technicien en protection de l’environnement exige un bon sens de l’observation et de la minutie.
