Jobsite.co.uk and The Big Green Switch, the UK’s online guide to a greener lifestyle, have announced the launch of a new green jobs channel dedicated entirely to environmentally-friendly jobs. 

Big Green Jobs, found at www.biggreenswitch.co.uk/jobs, combines Jobsite’s job search technology with The Big Green Switch’s expertise and advice on moving to a greener lifestyle.

The site includes job opportunities with some of the UK’s leading brands, as well as newer companies, in roles as diversified as environmental architect, energy manager or environmental marketer.

Felix Wetzel, Jobsite’s group marketing director, says: “Green careers is an area that’s set to grow significantly. With an estimated 35,000 people predicted to be working in environmentally-friendly industries by 2020, green jobs may be to the 2010s what IT was to the 1990s. Recruiters need to tap into this social change if they are to continue to pull in candidates, and companies, and deliver first rate results.”
