I am interested in persuing an environmental career?
Asked by waltzing matilda
I have a BSc (hons) in Environmental Quality and Resource Management (from UWE in UK) which I graduated from in 2001. Unfortunately I have no experience at all in the environmental field. Since 2001 I have continued to practice as a Nurse which was my original career pre degree. This enabled me to emigrate to Australia. I am now keen to return to the environmental arena, what advice do you have? I am considering a post grad cert at Macquarie to enhance my profile.

Best Answer:
I don't know if Australia does it but here in the states whenever a company plans a major building or construction project...like a road or factory..they have to have an environmental impact statement...in short will said project will impact the environment and is it worth the risks if any... If Australia does require them then you can find out who is doing them by calling any major contractor... By far the largest group to be required to file environmental impact statement are the oil and gas companies...
