In today’s world people are enrolled with diverse courses and join unique positions in the field of renewable energy. I have got lot of Sustainability experts in my linkedin connection. People are engaged in different positions. Some of them are Director of Sustainability, Chief Sustainability Officer, Head of Sustainability, Environment and Sustainability Manager, Clean Energy Ambassador, Environmental Scientist, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) lead, Corporate Sustainability Officer, Renewable Energy officer and many more. Everyone is concerned regarding Environment, Sustainability and Renewable Energy.  Some of the multinational company has started promoting CSR projects.

There can be many good career opportunities in Renewable energy and sustainability sector. Some of the best career opportunities are:

1.      Contractor /Electrician –

Becoming a contractor is one of the easiest ways to get involved in green energy. People need their solar panels installed, and someone has to come out and do the job. You can also provide complementary services, like better insulation or special windows that keep heating and cooling needs to a minimum. As a contractor, you can meet the needs for both renewable energy and energy efficiency.

2.      Green Engineering –

Green engineering is a broad field. These engineers help design things like wind turbines and solar panels that are budget friendly and highly efficient. They can work in any sector where things need to be built and powered. Almost every industry, from farming to manufacturing to commercial development to real estate will benefit from the help of a green engineer.

3.      Sustainable Farming –

Many industries rely on biofuels to fill energy gaps. Biofuels are often derived from things like corn, soybeans, and even sugarcane byproducts. Even manure can be used to create biofuel. Farmers have a very important job in helping the environment. Some of the most interesting career lines in sustainable agriculture include agronomy (with a focus on scientific methods for the production of field crops), soil science, horticulture, animal science, and organic farming. In fact, organic farming practices that maintain soil productivity and protect the environment are highly sought-after today and specialists who know how to limit the use synthetic fertilizers and pesticides – usually in possession of a degree in environmental or agricultural science – can find various employment opportunistic.

4.      Environmental Consultant-

Being an environmental consultant applies to more than just renewable energy – it affects all aspects of a company’s efforts to become environmentally friendly. Organizations trying to reduce their environmental impact will hire consultants to measure what they’re doing and find ways to reduce damage they may be doing. You can help convert dirty businesses into clean ones.

5.      Architecture and Design-

      The advent of solar and wind energy has changed the way we approach the design of new       buildings and structures. With Elon Musk’s passion project of developing the solar roof beginning to shake up the way developers are approaching the design process, it’s an exciting time to get onboard. Architects and designers of all sorts are going to need to adapt.

           There are plenty career choices in green design: architects, landscapers and urban planners are all part of a growing professional force that aims to make the spaces where we live and work more environmentally-friendly.
