Are all OPS jobs “desk jobs”?
No, not at all. We employ firefighters, conservation officers, foresters and park wardens whose work is largely outdoors. We employ inspectors who go out to workplaces to ensure worker health and safety and we have scientists who work in labs. These are just a few examples of the variety of jobs in the public service. Office jobs in the OPS can be anything but routine. They may involve tackling some of the major challenges that affect the society we live in – like developing a campaign against domestic violence that resonates with today’s high school students, for example, or promoting a more active and smoke-free lifestyle among children and youth.
