Green Jobs

With the demand for environmentally friendly, LEED-certified buildings, a large field has opened of jobs demanding knowledge of green construction and maintenance techniques for buildings and neighborhoods. Studies have shown that in the early 2010s there will be nearly 8 million jobs in this field.

Finding a Green Job
The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) runs its own Web site to help accredited LEED APs find work in their chosen field. It’s called the U.S. Green Building Career Center (USGBC). Members of the USGBC may use this Web site to post their résumés, view lists of available jobs, and create job alerts to receive e-mail notification of jobs for which they are qualified.

Finding LEED AP Employees
If you have a building project that needs LEED Accredited Professionals to help assist in designing and constructing a building that will achieve LEED certification, you can view résumés at the U.S. Green Building Career Center site, post job descriptions, and recruit LEED APs as employees.
