Engineering jobs are always in demand in Canada. There are many types of engineering opportunities across Canada. Civil engineers handle construction projects designing and building infrastructures. Environmental engineers address the environmental challenges faced by the industry. Interior design engineers enhance the interior of a building for better space utilization in the building. Interior engineers can also appear for the NCIDQ certification exam; NCIDQ Certification is a recognized platform for interior design principles and a designer’s commitment to the profession.
A report from Engineering Labour Market in Canada shows the province-level projections to 2025 of supply and demand for engineers and the importance of engineers to the Canadian economy.
