Green Job Advice

The environment could be one of your passions, even a core value, the challenge is that you don’t see your current company doing anything about it – in fact the majority of respondents to a Monster survey said that, given the choice, they would leave their current employer for a ‘greener’ one - BUT the great news is that you do not have to leave.

In a similar survey, also for Monster, only 18% of respondents felt that their employer was being extremely green - the reason that most employers are not taking the first steps are lack of information and the upfront cost of doing something. This is where YOU come in. Identify who in your organization would have a say in making greener policies and decisions and understand what their current opinions are, let them know that you are passionate about this cause and you would like to spearhead an initiative to establish the benefits of taking a greener approach. After all green programs have been shown to not just save costs, but engage and retain employees.

Be sure that your profile internally then becomes one associated with the green initiative, including adding a byline to your e-mail signature, having something in your work area that reflects green and even getting an internal announcement out there.

First do an assessment of what is being done now either formally or informally. Spend some time with the person in your organization who is responsible and understand their motivations and the companies for bring green so that you can align. Also find out also what has been done in the past, you might have a great idea or initiative but it has been tried before. Better to know why it might not have worked before using that as a launch and seeing it flop.

Secondly seek some input from others in the company. Again a survey may have already been done so do not duplicate the work. If not use one of the no charge online surveys to ask a few questions about peoples level of interest and what they are already doing. Also see if there is anyone interested in helping you.

Third develop a strategy to launch the initiative and a plan for implementing some ongoing action, look to recommend some quick changes that will have an impact both by being noticed and saving the organization money. After that think about enrolling some like minded colleagues to the cause and establish some longer term goals and programs.

Very soon you will have the unofficial job title of IGO – Internal Green Officer!

You Don’t Have to Leave to Get a Green Job – Become the Internal Environmental Champion!

by Paul Copcutt

Competition is growing exponentially for jobs in this hot industry. The key to success is investing time in targeted research, compiling a list of companies to focus on, identifying hiring decision makers or leads within those companies, and penetrating their networks.

Practice “give to get” networking. Gently get to know them, what their needs are, and how you can solve their problems. Build evangelism for your brand and stay top of mind with them. When they hear of jobs that may be a good fit, they’ll think of you.

• Familiarize yourself with industry trends, culture, and the lingo, so you’ll converse intelligently.

• Identify companies through Google search and at Hoovers Online, Forbes, libraries, etc., then dig deeper at websites of each company on your list.

• Create career marketing communications that align your niche expertise and brand value proposition with the needs of your target companies.

• Connect with leads through online social networks (LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, etc.) and professional associations. See job-hunt.org’s list of 175+ Green Industry Groups.

The payoff for targeting and networking in?

• You’ll have first-response to unadvertised positions. Or your target companies may decide to chisel out an opportunity for you. You probably won’t have any competition!

• You’ll circumvent HR departments and tap into the hidden job market, because you’re not moving through the traditional HR-driven search process.

• Your research will also serve as due diligence work to pre-qualify whether companies are a sound choice.

• You’ll become a known commodity and valuable asset, because you’ve taken the time to extend your brand value to the companies’ inner decision making circle.

Want to Transition to a Green Job? Research and Network Your Way In

By Meg Guiseppi

There are two types of references used in the hiring process. The first is employment verifications from your past employers. This is usually a simple check a prospective employer does to make sure you worked the dates and positions that you claimed on your application and resume. During employment verifications, your past employers are not allowed to talk about how good (or bad) of an employee you were. This is why your list of personal references is so important. Personal references are people whom you have chosen to speak to prospective employers about your skills and personality. It is a good idea to include former supervisors and coworkers in your personal references.

Who to use as a reference

Only list people who you know will say good things about your work or education. By asking someone to be a reference for you, you are giving him or her permission to say what they want about you. So make sure you pick trustworthy people who will speak positively and accurately about your skills and work ethic. Other people to use as references:

• Volunteer supervisors • Former coworkers • Members of committees you served on • Teachers and professors • Classmates • Teammates Remember, not all of your friends make good references. They might not know details of your work or education and won’t be able to give employers details of why they should hire you. Also, listing family members and clergy is not a good idea because it is assumed that they will give you a positive reference no matter what. The exception to this is if you worked at the family business, or did a specific job or volunteer project at your place of worship. How to present your references

Do not list your references on your resume and do not write “references available upon request.” All employers know to ask for your references if they want them. Create a separate sheet that lists your references in a format similar to your resume. Only give this to employers who ask for it. This way only select employers get your references’ contact information, and you are more likely to know which employers called to find out more about you.

Job Seeker Advice

List your references’ name, job title and company, phone number, and e-mail address. You can also include the length of time they have known you and your relationship to them (former supervisor, fellow committee member, etc.). The number of references you give employers depends on the number of people who can speak positively and accurately about you. List at least three people but not more than 10. How to ask for a reference

Make a list of all the people you know who might be good references. Ask if they would give you a reference BEFORE you give their name to employers. Most people who know your work will be honored to be a reference for you. Next, send each of your references an updated copy of your resume. Your former teammate, for example, will know about your skills on the playing field, but might not know about your other experiences that qualify you for the job. At the beginning of each job search, call or e-mail all of your references to let them know that you are actively searching and that companies might be calling to discuss your skills. By alerting your references and sending them an updated resume, you are allowing them time to recall your skills and work experience, and to prepare what they might tell employers about you.

Career Profile

Green BuildingA Look at the Construction Sector

Green Construction: Building to Protect the Environment and JobsIn previous issues of the Green Careers Journal we have taken a look at careers in the design and manufacturing sectors of Green Building. In this issue we take a look at the opportunities that can be found in the construction sector. Although some of the construction sector careers overlap with design and manufacturing careers, construction provides the most hands-on opportunities for the green collar worker.

The Driving ForceA green building, or sustainable building, is a structure that is designed, built, renovated, operated, or reused with an ecological and resource friendly approach. These buildings are designed and constructed, or retrofitted to reduce the overall impact of the built environment on human health and the natural environment by using energy, water and other resources efficiently; protecting occupant health and improving employee productivity; and reducing waste and pollution.

The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) and the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) have set the standards for Green Building in the United States. USGBC created Leadership in Energy and Environment (LEED), a rating system for all types of green building. Promoting a whole-building approach, LEED provides an outline for “identifying and implementing practical and measurable green building design, construction, operations and maintenance solutions” (USGBC). This outline allots points for the implementation of various sustainability measures. The more points accrued the higher the rating the building receives.

The National Green Building Standard, developed by the NAHB and the International Code Council, defines green building specifically for residential buildings, both new and remodeled. This standard requires that a minimum number of features related to sustainability be incorporated into the residential structure. As with LEED, the more points accrued, the higher the rating.

Creating a NeedThe development of standards within the green building industry has created a desire by many to construct the most environmentally friendly buildings possible. That desire is in turn feeding the need for individuals capable of doing the work.

New construction provides some of the best, most immediate opportunities for individuals looking for a career in Green Building. Some jobs, like solar panel installers and wind energy technicians, are modern additions to the field. But for the most part, the labor involved in green construction does not differ significantly from traditional construction. The same individuals employed in traditional building; framers, electricians, roofers, and plumbers to name a few, can be employed to build green with little additional training.

Many trades are actually beginning to train and specialize in green construction. They are enrolling in local community colleges (check out www.khake.com/page84.html) and learning and applying the newest green building technologies to improve the energy efficiency of buildings.

Retrofitting old structures (commercial and residential) to make them more energy

efficient has opened up an entirely new field for building trades in the last several years. This work, which was previously not done, has begun to thrive with the passing of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act in 2009. This act allocated $74 billion to the Energy and Housing sectors, a portion of which is going to training green collar workers and paying for the retrofitting of existing buildings.

What it all meansWhether you’re a construction manager, a carpenter, a plumber, or a cement finisher there is nothing but opportunity here. People are needed to install solar panels on the top of homes and buildings. People are needed to install the latest energy efficient technologies in heating and air conditioning. People are needed to install pervious concrete. People are needed to weatherize and retrofit structures to make businesses and homes more efficient.

Fortunately, a lot of training programs, apprenticeship programs, and community college programs are out there to help individuals develop the skill sets that will help them to work in these fields (see sidebar). So if you have a background as a construction trade and are looking to get an edge on the competition, check out your local community college or the internet for classes in green or sustainable building.

As we look towards the future, designers and architects are developing new techniques and strategies to go beyond the standards set by the USGBC and NAHB. The technology involved in green construction and retrofitting is changing, and the trades are learning to change with it. This evolution in the industry will continue to drive the need for individuals willing to learn new technologies and capable of doing the work.

Career Insider

Are you familiar with Energy Star? Introduced in 1992 by the EPA, the Energy Star program ensures that a variety of technologies, including computer equipment, meet energy-efficiency standards set by the government. These standards were recently extended to include computer hardware such as routers, servers and networks. What about EPEAT (Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool)? This tool and environmental criteria for computers was developed by The Green Electronics Council under a grant by the US EPA. It is designed to “help purchasers evaluate, compare and select electronic products based on their environmental attributes.” Energy Star, EPEAT, as well as government regulations on the IT divisions of business are leading organizations to improve the energy efficiency of their data centers, reduce the power used for their business operations, and limit waste by reusing or recycling. To make these changes, businesses are seeking out green IT professionals to help them comply with government regulations, implement company energy initiatives, procure energy efficient equipment, dispose of electronic waste (e-waste) properly, as well as design, develop and install hardware, programs and software.

The career field of Green Information Technology (IT) or Green Computing is defined by San Murugesan, author of Harnessing Green IT: Principles and Practices, as “the study and practice of designing, manufacturing, using, and disposing of computers, servers, and associated subsystems—such as monitors, printers, storage devices, and networking and communications systems—efficiently and effectively with minimal or no impact on the environment.”

Green IT careers include green analyst, technical consultant, technical architect and software engineer to name a few. Individuals with a background in IT will make the easiest transition to green IT with a little bit of additional training. The sidebar will guide you to training programs and certifications that focus on network-critical infrastructure planning; green data center design, implementation, and management; green regulations, legislation and policies; carbon energy accounting; green IT strategy; and implementing green IT.

For those who are thinking about entering this field, but do not have the IT background, go to Techrepublic.com and click on the downloads tab. Type in Top 10 U.S college programs for IT in the search bar. This free downloadable PDF file will not only provide you with the top 10 schools, but also lists over 100 other schools with IT undergraduate programs. Or you can go to www.careerexplorer.net

to find IT training in your local area. Simply select computer as your career field and enter your zip code!

As computers and computer technologies advance to minimize energy use and companies continue to move towards energy-efficiency, lower carbon emissions, and reducing their costs – the outlook for green IT professionals continues to be bright. So, if you haven’t already started to prepare yourself for the ongoing green-tech revolution, now is a great time to start!

GREEN IT CERTIFICATIONS AND TRAINING:

The Data Center University by American Power Conversion (APC) certifies individuals in Network-critical Physical Infrastructure (NCPI), including power, cooling, racks/physical structure, security/fire protection, cabling and the management and service of these elements.

CompTIA (www.comptia.org) has a number of certifications for a variety of IT professionals. Strata Green IT, one of CompTIA’s newest certifications, educates IT professionals on incorporating emerging technologies effectively.

BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT (www.bcs.org) offers the ISEB Foundation Certificate in Green IT. This provides certificate holders with a broad understanding of the regulations, legislation and policies of green IT, carbon energy accounting and how to create a green IT strategy.

Metropolitan Community College in Omaha, Nebraska together with IBM, offer a Green IT associates degree. Undergraduates learn the technical and business skills to design and manage energy efficient data centers.

The Uptime Institute (uptimeinstitute.org) offers a certification course on data center design. The Accredited Tier Designer course embeds green principles into the curriculum.

Green News

Houston, TX – ENTRIX has joined forces with international firm and Australian based Cardno Limited in a merger that took effect June 9th.

The merger with Cardno, a professional services firm founded in 1945 in Brisbane, Australia, means that ENTRIX, a 615-person environmental and natural resource management consulting firm becomes a key part of an international industry leader with a combined resource base of 3,650 staff working on projects in more than 70countries.

Todd Williams, President of ENTRIX, said the merger marks an important step in the next chapter of growth for ENTRIX.

“Our motivation to seek a partnership with an international firm like Cardno was three-fold. First to provide our clients with a wider range of services and locations; second to provide our talented staff with additional opportunities for career development; and third to accelerate the growth of ENTRIX across the US and overseas.” Mr Williams said.

“ENTRIX is a growth-oriented, profitable business and by combining with Cardno we will be able to expand organically and look to complement our existing discipline offering with targeted acquisitions”, said Mr. Williams.

ENTRIX brings to Cardno a core competency in water resources management, environmental risk management, natural resources management, natural resource economics, and facility permitting and compliance. The ENTRIX professional staff comprises biologists, chemists, geologists, oceanographers, toxicologists, meteorologists, economists, and environmental, chemical, and civil engineers.

ENTRIX is also regarded as a leader in the assessment of the environmental and economic impacts of oil spills and the associated restoration, rehabilitation and monitoring of impacted sites. It has standing response management contracts with the world’s leading oil producers.

Mr Williams said that ENTRIX is substantively engaged on the current oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. “However under contract terms the scope and nature of the work remains confidential.” Mr Williams said.

Major clients of ENTRIX include: Chevron, BP, ConocoPhillips, Pacific Gas & Electric, Southern California Edison, TransCanada, Placer County Water Agency, Pepco Holdings, Dow Chemical Company Mosaic, CF Industries, Cleveland Cliffs Mining and various federal and state government natural resource management agencies.

Cardno brings to ENTRIX a broader range of civil and structural engineering, international development assistance, transportation, marine, project management and planning services across many countries including Australia, New Zealand, United States, United Kingdom, Indonesia, Kenya, Sri Lanka, China and United ArabEmirates.

Additionally, Cardno’s leadership in social infrastructure work was a compelling reason for ENTRIX to consider this relationship. Cardno provides opportunities for ENTRIX staff to become part of a committed, global focus to help developing nations and countries adversely affected by natural disasters and conflict to build and implement social and physical infrastructure programs.

“The potential synergistic benefits from our combined firms are enormous for our staff, our clients and our financial performance,” commented Williams.

Managing Director and CEO of Cardno, Mr Andrew Buckley, said that the Cardno and ENTRIX union followed the successful business model Cardno has implemented in other countries.

“ENTRIX will now be a platform for the expansion of both Cardno and ENTRIX throughout North and South America”, said Mr Buckley.

With the addition of ENTRIX and Environmental Resolutions Inc (ERI) (who also announced a merger with Cardno today) staff reporting to Cardno’s American operations now comprise 1,420 staff across 75 offices and a further four branch offices in the Canada, Ecuador, Peru, United Kingdom and Belgium. Cardno’s other U.S.businesses include Cardno WRG, Cardno TBE, Cardno Emerging Markets, ERI and XP Software.

President of Cardno USA, Michael Renshaw, said ENTRIX offers tremendous potential to cross-sell capabilities with Cardno’s existing US based businesses and also with its operations in other countries and continues Cardno’s strategy of diversifying its skills base and markets.

“This merger will provide Cardno with significant access to the US environmental and natural resources management market, particularly in the resources, oil and gas, energy, water supply and site developmentsectors.

“ENTRIX’s business culture and growth potential make it an ideal platform for further expansion of our combined businesses across North and South America in providing a wide range of environmental consulting services,”

“With the addition of ENTRIX around 60 percent of Cardno’s 3,650 staff are currently deployed or reside outside Australia.” Mr Renshaw said.

Following Cardno’s normal strategy, ENTRIX’s key management will become Cardno shareholders and remain active in the company. Dan Taylor and Dick Firth both founders of ENTRIX will continue in key roles within ENTRIX with Dan Taylor also assisting Cardno to pursue additional mergers in North America.
