Houston Neal explores how electricity offers job opportunities at The Software Advice Construction Blog. The electrical grid is where it's at.
Neal says "electrical contractors" will transition to "energy contractors" to support the green construction market, and that the profession will grow tremendously. Neal cites a study by the American Solar Energy Society of Boulder, Colo. that says renewable energy jobs for electricians will grow about 900 percent by 2030, just in Colorado.
In the next ten to twenty years, "electrical contractor" will no longer be a suitable job title for electricians. They will transition into "energy contractors" to support the fast-growing green construction market.
