What are green jobs?
Green jobs can be found in all sectors of the economy, ranging from traditional areas such as manufacturing, and transport and buildings, to nascent opportunities for employment in areas such as the energy sector. To put it in a nutshell: green jobs are the basis for a successful energy transition, and promote climate and environmental protection.
People who have a technical or engineering qualification and those with a link to the manufacturing and construction industries are particularly in demand in the green economy. These professions include:
- Craftspeople (e.g. electronics technicians for energy and building services, heating engineers, plant mechanics – sanitary, heating and air-conditioning technology)
- Engineers (e.g. energy consultants, environmental engineers, design engineers / developers, automotive engineers)
- IT specialists (e.g. software developers, data scientists)
from the following economic sectors:
- Energy and electrical engineering (e.g. wind power, photovoltaics)
- Mechanical engineering
- Technical equipment and installations
- Construction industry
- Automotive industry (e.g. electric mobility)
- Agriculture and farming
In many of these areas, employers have problems finding qualified staff – the perfect opportunity for you to find an attractive job!
