So here at Adzuna, we did some digging and came up with three of the best jobs for nature lovers. Check them out\u2026<\/p>\n

Landscapers<\/a> and gardeners are responsible for cultivating and growing all and any kinds of plants. They also maintain green spaces like parks, gardens, sports grounds, and schools. If this is your passion, you\u2019ll need to have an existing outdoors lifestyle or be willing to convert to one. If you have an eye for detail and you\u2019re pretty creative, it\u2019ll help you plan and maintain gardens that spark interest and ensure enjoyment throughout the year.<\/p>\n As far as entry routes into this position go, there\u2019s nothing hard and fast. You\u2019ll need gardening skills, a basic knowledge, and of course some experience.

This job won\u2019t always see you exclusively working in the great outdoors, but the opportunities for it are plenty in this highly skilled role.<\/p>\n Surveyors<\/a> are required in the design and development of new buildings and transport links, and they also help out with the restoration and maintenance of existing buildings and infrastructure. It\u2019s a job that sees huge variety on a daily basis, with opportunities to work on large structures and smaller projects.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Average Salary<\/strong> \u2013 R508,995 per year<\/p>\n Jobs Available<\/strong> \u2013 398<\/p>\n <\/p>\n As an environmental scientist<\/a>, you\u2019ll be responsible for conducting research that helps identify, decrease the harmful effects of, or eliminate pollutants and hazards to the environment or the health of the earth\u2019s population.<\/p>\n Your role will be centred on the idea of protecting the environment, which means you\u2019ll be spending plenty of time outdoors. You\u2019ll need to have a degree in environmental science if you plan on entering this field, but a degree in the fields of biology, engineering, chemistry or physics might also land you an entry-level job in environmental science.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Average Salary<\/strong> \u2013 R502,543 per year<\/p>\n Jobs Available<\/strong> \u2013 24<\/p>\n <\/p>\n If this article has inspired you to start checking out new career opportunities, be sure to check out Adzuna.co.za<\/a> to check out the latest vacancies in your field of interest!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" While some folks are perfectly happy to work office jobs in the concrete jungle, there are some who just have to be outside in order to really feel alive.
