The Diploma in Environmental Monitoring and Technology is typically used to prepare new employees or develop the skills of existing workers performing an environmental officer role in most industry sectors. The roles include environmental officers, environmental protection officers, environmental compliance officers, environmental technicians and similar personnel employed by enterprises and Commonwealth, state/territory/local governments. Employees of enterprises are more likely to be involved with environmental monitoring, technology, internal auditing and continuous improvements to enhance compliance and minimise the environmental impacts of processes.

Government employees may be involved with inspection/auditing of enterprises and negotiating appropriate responses to instances of non-compliance. Environmental officers often work with environmental scientists, engineers, planners and community groups to manage and conserve natural systems and resources, minimise pollution, remediate/rehabilitate sites and trial practical strategies to protect and improve ecosystems.
