Are you thinking of starting a water operator career in Canada?

Canada is the one of those countries with a clear policy on water and wastewater treatment, collection and distribution. The water industry is now a major contributor to the country’s economy and infrastructure development. All the developments are in line with both environmental and water resources protection standards. And starting or continuing your water job in this North American country will be as interesting as any other country.

First step towards getting into the Canadian Water industry is nothing but having the basic education qualification. This could be vocational training, higher secondary education, college, or the completion of ELC (entry level course in drinking water). This certification with the experience in electrical systems or plumbing can help you achieve the best results. While these are the common skills that most people have, the best way to get started is with a heavy equipment or DZ license.

After having a good starting point, things are going to be bittersweet. It’s because the work is harder than we think and the shifts are more challenging. Aligning with the right shift and a right employer will make it easier.

On the job training for employees and free certifications are provided by most companies that you don’t want to miss, so you can move to a more flexible position. Growth mindset is the key to success. And an operator with such an attitude can have great success in Canadian Water Industry.
