Environment Jobs in Sheffield
The term 'environment' encompasses many different areas so it is difficult to be specific about entry requirements. Commitment and practical experience are certainly necessary. There are more job opportunities for people with specific skills, (eg agriculture, construction) who can apply their skills in an environmental way, than there are for people with academic qualifications. For example, to work in environmental research you will need postgraduate qualifications, for environmental management, ie the planning, management and harvesting of a forest, you will need a degree or higher national diploma. Hands-on work, such as a forest worker, will not require any specific qualifications but a BTech would put you at an advantage, as would good GCSEs.
