Imagine going to work each morning feeling proud about the difference you’re making, both in your own community and across the country. At DUC, we connect people to nature and a healthier world through wetland conservation.
DUC was founded in 1938 by a small group of passionate waterfowlers who pioneered the way habitat conservation is achieved in North America. With offices across the country and national headquarters at Oak Hammock Marsh in Manitoba, we have become one of the largest and most effective not-for-profit conservation organizations in Canada.
A career with DUC is an opportunity to be part of one of Canada’s most recognizable brands. You will contribute to a conservation effort that benefits all Canadians and help write the next chapter in an 80-year legacy of groundbreaking science, rich culture and positive change.
We respect the thoughts and ideas of our employees. Every person on our team plays an important role in conserving wetlands and waterfowl to better the quality of our country’s water, wildlife and environment. We employ a wide array of talented people with diverse interests and skills, from science and engineering to fundraising and education.
