Green jobs proving resilience to slowdown, according to leading job site

Green Jobs Online, the UKís leading job site for the renewable energy and environmental sector, is continuing to witness strong growth despite the challenging economic conditions.

Richard Marshall, Managing Director of Green Jobs Online says, ìIt is unfortunate that highly qualified professionals have to face redundancy. However, the evidence we have seen suggests many such people are taking the opportunity presented by their situation to reassess their careers.

ìWeíre seeing more and more candidates from outside the renewable energy sector who want to see how they can bring their existing skills into this bourgeoning marketplace. With more live jobs in the sector than any other UK site, we are well placed to support this transition.î

With increasing impetus from government to support green business, demand for skilled and qualified professionals in this sector is likely to continue growing.

David Mattinson, Managing Director of environment recruitment specialists Mattinson Partnership, adds, ìDespite the tougher market conditions, the environment sector is growing and our clients continue to appoint those individuals with strong technical and commercial experience who can play a key role in developing business.

ìGreen Jobs Online have been instrumental in providing us with a steady flow of highly capable professionals for these strategic posts.î
