Your Career
Worldwide, jobs in the renewable energy and energy efficiency industries are predicted to rise to more than three million over the next 20 years. Be a sustainable energy specialist within engineering, architectural and general contracting firms, real estate developers, energy site developers, municipalities and energy intensive industries. Work as a designer, in sales or in technical support with energy conservation/renewable energy equipment manufacturers, dealers and installation service providers. The sustainable energy industry has emerged as a new sunrise industry with significant career opportunities identified in the wind, solar and geothermal energy generation industries. As well, there are significant opportunities in the building, architect/engineering, and governmental areas that deal with sustainability, energy efficiency and energy conservation.
Our Program
The three-year, multidisciplinary program will position you to work effectively with other professionals in providing truly integrated solutions in the sustainable technologies sectors that deal with energy efficiency and renewable energy. You will be able to assess site characteristics and client needs, provide advice on renewable energy, building design and heating/cooling system alternatives, prove energy efficiency through energy audits and energy performance simulation, cost the energy system and select appropriate suppliers and contractors.
Work Placement
Get hands-on experience during a paid co-op work term in either the green building industry or sustainable energy industry following semester four (minimum 400 hours). Students will complete a career management course to help develop effective job and work term search skills, prior to the work term. Students initiate their own co-op placement with support from Humber, which works with business, industry and government to identify co-op employment opportunities.
