Jobs in British Columbia
British Columbia is located in the west of Canada, its capital is Victoria and it was the 6th province to join the Canadian Confederation. The province is popular for its scenery which forms the backdrop and context for a growing outdoor adventure and ecotourism. Over 75% of the province is mountainous and 60% is forested and only 5% is arable.
The tourism sector has created plenty of job opportunities in the following areas:
• Transport sector, there are over 200 airports located throughout British Columbia, the major ones being the Vancouver International Airport , the Victoria International Airport, the Kelowna International Airport, and the Prince George, all of which render services to over a million customers per year and are ever busy.
These airports have plenty jobs being offered ranging from air attendants, flight hostesses, pilots, Information Technology, Human Resources, Engineering and Administration. The establishment of BC Ferries in 1960 which was to provide passenger and vehicle ferry services between Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland as a cheaper and reliable alternative to the railway service, created a lot of job opportunities for ferry operators, maintenance workers including mechanics, Fitter and Turners, Fitter Machinists and Engineers. There have been some container pots that have been opened in the province and these have created some job opportunities for Warehousing experts, logistic coordinators and heavy machinery operators.
• Natural Resources, in this sector there are jobs available for the conservationists in soil, forestry and wildlife. There are 14 designated parks, 141 Ecological Reserves, 35 Provincial Marine parks and 3 national Park Reserves in the British Columbia. All these parks have resulted in the creation of jobs for Ecologists, Wildlife specialists among other jobs that are offered in a forestry setting.
• Hotels, Hotels in the British Columbia are ever busy with the frequent visits from tourists. Job opportunities for hotel caterers, Laundry service providers, Security providers, Information Technology and Administration.
