Land Surveying. University options are Geomatics Engineering at U of C or UNB. For the tech side, there are Geomatics Tech courses at SAIT, NAIT, and BCIT plus a bunch of smaller schools in the west. To the east we recruit at SIAST, COGS and several other schools that I can't recall. We also do some international recruiting but prefer to hire Canadians if possible as the paperwork and costs are quite a bit lower.
Feel free to PM me if you want more information. I think it is a great industry but the hours and work are not for everyone.
The field work (and everyone but drafters start in the field) means long hours around the province working outside in all weather and often away from home for a few weeks at a time. With bush work, you either love it or hate it.
