General Resources

EnergyJobSites.com

...a central site for 7 different job boards all covering different facets of the Energy Industry, including Hydro/Water and Green Energy. From this site you can review listings from all of the partner sites or you can opt to visit a specific site to concentrate your efforts there:

• waterjobsonline.com (also includes wastewater)
• greenenergyjobsonline.com
• gasjobsonline.com
• nuclearjobsonline.com
• oilandgasjobsonline.com
• telecomjobsonline.com
• utility-worker.com

Obviously they would love to have you register and post a resume (free), but it is not necessary to search and view the listings. There are many very good jobs listed here and links to additional industry resources within each site.

PennEnergyJobs

..."dedicated to serving the global employment needs of Petroleum, Power and Utility employers and professionals alike." It's a bit confusing, but there are good jobs listed here. Use only the search box labeled "Search Energy Jobs", and when reviewing those results, skip the "search nationwide database" link. I tried browsing the categories, but did not have really good luck with those, so stick to the search box mentioned earlier. And yes, try the list of countries. I found many listings under several.

Recruitment 4 Renewables

...a highly specialised recruitment business focused solely on providing high-quality, dedicated recruitment services to businesses across the renewable energy supply chain: "from energy source, energy generation & delivery right through to the point of consumption." This UK-based recruiter does not have any current searches listed on its website, qualified candidates in this field are welcome to contact them.

Renewable Energy Jobs

...operated by Sam Newell, an established recruiting consultant in the UK, this site's purpose is to "make it easy for talented job seekers and employers within the renewable energy sector to find each other anywhere in the world". This site offers numerous jobs in a variety of countries and industry sectors and makes it easy for you to find good opportunities. You can search and read all you want, but when it comes time to hit that "Apply Now" button you will need to create a free account and upload your CV/resume. You don't have to make your CV/resume public, but you do need to put it on the site. I like the ability to see how many listings are in each active category right on the front page. When you look at the job listings, please note that they sort from most recent to oldest, with the "featured" jobs coming first. Check out their blog, Green Leader, with news about the industry and tips on finding employment in it. Note for users of IE8: there's a little display issue with the latest version of Microsoft's Internet Explorer. When you connect to the blog, you'll need to page down to find the text. Yes, they're working on it. <052109>

Utility Jobs Online

...jobs in the utility industry (power, telecom, cable, nuclear, etc.). You can search the site by various fields, but I like the Search by Industry feature at the bottom of the front page (really an opportunity to browse). It lists the various major industries and how many jobs are under each. Just pick your choice and browse the offerings. The site is free, and you do not need to register unless you want to store a resume, save searches, or read the FAQ.

Utility Job Search

...UK-based job site offering listings for the UK utilities industry (telecommunications, water, and power industries. The power industry includes jobs in nuclear, electricity, gas and the renewable energy sectors). Visitors can browse the listings (bottom of the page for those links) and view descriptions of the jobs without registering, but you must register (free) and post some kind of profile in the database to get the contact info. Does look like it has some nice listings. Partners with ConstructionJobSearch.co.uk and a couple other sites.

..."career opportunities in the water, wastewater, and environmental industry. WEF’s Job Bank is continually updated with new employment listings for careers in wastewater, including water and wastewater management, operations, consulting engineering, and other career paths in water quality. " Wow! Great jobs and easily accessed. You'll start on the My Account page (where you can register for a free account and create a resume plus other alerts), but if you select the Jobs tab you can browse all the jobs by field or location, view all of them, or search. When you find one that fits you to a T, you'll need to register in order to submit a resume, but if you are a professional in this field why the heck not?

Power / Energy

ElectricJob

...all kinds of jobs in the electric utility business from switchmen to engineers to management. You can search the database without registering, but some listings will require you to register and submit your resume to the site (free). Looks pretty good.

Think Energy Group

...huge job site for jobs in the energy / power industry at all levels. Think Resources is a contract and direct-hire placement service specialising in engineering and technical personnel. You can submit an email with your resume for any listings found here, but they prefer (and will give priority consideration to) people who fill out their online application form. This site has sections for Engineering, Power Plant, Energy, Technical, and Contract jobs.

Energy Jobs Network

...a group consisting of over 20 members in the energy industry (petroleum, electricity, landmen, etc.). There are some recent jobs posted on the front of this site, but to really search you will have to select one member site as your entrance. Or you can take my shortcut and just go directly to the job search page. You do not need to register to view jobs. While these jobs are all in the energy field, they cover the full spectrum of business positions including clerical, accounting, and sales positions.

IDC Executive Search

...executive search firm with over fifteen years in the Power industry. You can review current openings they are working to fill and submit a resume through their website.

Jobs In Wind Power (JobsinWindPower)

Jobs In Solar Power (JobsinSolarPower)

Jobs in Biofuels (JobsinBiofuels)

Each of these job boards is focused on a different aspect of the alternative energy industry, but each operates in the same way. The actual listings are compiled by SimplyHired.com, but at least this way you the alternative energy professional (or hopeful) can find these listings much more easily. Employers can also post directly to this board. My only complaints -- for many of the jobs you will be required to register with the hosting board in order to submit an application, and there is no contact info for the operator of the board. Fortunately I know that these sites are operated by Chris Russell, founder of AllCountyJobs.com, LLC & Jobsinpods.com, so I am happy to pass them on to you.

National Hydrogen Association

"Promoting the Transition to Hydrogen in the Energy Field." Along with all the information on this energy source, the association hosts the Hydrogen and Fuel Cells Job Board. While small at the time of review, we expect it to grow along with interest. Nice feature -- you can scan the NHA Member list and connect to company websites (your potential employer list)!

...a niche job board focusing on the energy and industrial manufacturing industry. This veteran-owned service "is committed to providing the Power Generation and Industrial Manufacturing industries with a direct and consistently updated conduit to highly skilled technical leaders and craftsmen separating from the military and those having a combination of industry and prior-military technical backgrounds." You can search and view the jobs without registering (or just scroll to the bottom of the front page), but if you wish to use their "apply now" feature you will need to register (free). My suggestion for the "search" feature is to just select a classification but leave everything else blank.
