Environmental Engineering Jobs

2011-12-11T14:20:00.000-08:00

Indeed has a good selection of environmental engineering jobs. Depending on whether you type in "Environmental Engineer" or "Environmental Engineering" you will get two somewhat different listings. The two listings are the following: www.indeed.com/jobs?q=environmental+engineer&l=worldwide and www.indeed.com/jobs?q=environmental+engineering&l=worldwide.

2010-05-13T21:24:00.000-07:00

Because of its size California has a large EPA which appears to usually have quite a few job vacancies. These positions can be viewed at www.calepa.ca.gov/Employment/. The Home Page of the California Environmental Protection Agency (Cal/EPA) can be seen at http://www.calepa.ca.gov/.

Some More Good Job Lists

2010-05-06T15:54:00.000-07:00

Recently while looking at the New York Times environmental blog which is called "Green" (www.nytimes.com/green), I noticed three good green job lists that I didn't already have in any of EarthDirectory's listings.

An Amazing Global Environmental Job Listing Service

2010-03-19T15:28:00.000-07:00

I recently stumbled upon an amazing international environmental job listing service. Its name is Stopdodo - Global Portal for Environmental Jobs & Resumes. Its job listings can be viewed in fourteen different major languages. Stopdodo lists jobs from many different countries and it's apparently establishing several offices around the world. You can even post your resume on the Stopdodo site for potential environmental job employers to view.

Stopdodo has the tremendous potential of becoming the number one environmental job listing service in the world. For now, it needs to work on getting many more new listings added every day. Ideally it would have a minimum of hundreds of new job openings being posted daily. It also needs to increase it's job categories - for example it apparently has no category covering environmental law jobs (at least I could't find any obvious environmental law category).

Stopdodo's site is at http://www.stopdodo.com/. It can also be viewed at http://www.environmentjobs.com/.

An International Renewable Energy Job Service

2010-03-15T17:33:00.000-07:00

I've just discovered an international employment service that specializes in listing renewable energy jobs. Its name is Green Jobs and it can be seen at http://www.greenjobs.com/. Its world headquarters is in California and it appears to have good international listings along with its U.S. listings. While not all of its listings can be considered renewable energy jobs (I've noticed some oil company positions in the mix), overall it looks like an excellent source for finding renewable energy jobs around the world.

2009-12-26T15:26:00.000-08:00

Welcome to the Environmental Job Blog. The purpose of this Blog is to help connect you to the best links on the Internet for finding environmental jobs and environmental internships.

Also, please note that many large environmental organizations and government environmental agencies list their job openings on their own sites, and so in the right hand column I've included links to six of the world's largest environmental and conservation organizations.
