Get your green jobs here

BusinessGreen.com has today launched BusinessGreenjobs.com, a dedicated jobs search engine for people looking for roles in the UK's booming green business sector.

The site aggregates green jobs from across a range of recruitment web sites, providing users with a single point from which to search a huge range of jobs from across the environmental, conservation and energy sectors.

The site allows users to search by job function, location, salary and employer, giving them easy access to the full gamut of green business roles, and can also provide users with regular email updates on new jobs.

Positions currently advertised range from increasingly high-profile corporate roles in CSR and climate change management, through to emerging green-collar positions such as solar panel installers and wind turbine engineers, and highly specialised environmental jobs, such as air quality scientists or even bat ecologists.

The number of jobs available through BusinessGreenjobs will expand significantly over time as positions from the US and other markets are added to the search engine along with new green business job functions.

The launch of the site comes at a time when interest in green jobs is continuing to expand rapidly.

Governments around the world have vowed to make green job creation a central component of their economic recovery plans, with Barack Obama leading the way with his pledge to create five million green-collar jobs and the UK aiming to create one million green manufacturing jobs over the coming decade.

Recent figures from green jobs recruitment specialist Acre Resources also suggest that while the wider recruitment market has collapsed over the past six months, the number of environmental roles available is continuing to rise, with the market growing about 50 per cent last year.
