A Mechanical Commissioning Engineer ensures his harness in safely in place.

Good morning and welcome to My science jobs with news that we have a green light for green jobs.

Recently at the IRCSET (Irish Research Council for Science Engineering and Technology) symposium, the Irish government with the backing of Major Multinationals such as Intel and Microsoft and supported by sustainable Energy Ireland, have made a commitment to drive greater resources into the Smart economy.

In paticular this will be in the areas of Green IT and Green Tech jobs.

This commitment will include:-

Ensuring the supply of  highly skilled talent and the supply of high achieving graduates up to Phd level.

Investing heavily in research and development and enhancing the environment between Academic and market facing commercial interests.

Implementation of a “Green Deal” and moving towards Green Renewable Energies and away from Fossil fuel energy programs.

Promoting Green Collar jobs and Green Enterprise.

Within the Green Collar Jobs sector there are a number of employment possibilities covering such aspects as energy production as well as conservation not simply related to areas such as wind turbine manufacture. Opportunities here exist for a wide variety of professional engineers such as:- Precision Tooling Engineers, Toolmakers, Mechanical, Electrical, Automation and Manufacturing Engineers.

R&D carried out in Ireland has also led to the development and manufacture of micro turbines that can produce electrical energy in even the smallest of wind environments and as a result have made them cheaper to manufacture and increasingly attractive to a wider range of customers both domestic as well as commercial. The implications for the marketing and sale of these devices and the possibility for increases in employment growth is therefore significant.

Here we can see opportunities for Moulding Engineers, Project Managers and Project Engineers in addition to Systems and Telecommunications Engineers

Additionally,  in areas such as inteligent lighting systems that detect the level of ambient light and switch of lights when they are not needed. These specific inteligent public lighting systems are already in operation in Germany and are being looked at with keen interest by Intel who have been quick to see their application globally, these too are manufactured here in Ireland.

Again we have seen there has bene an increase in the demand for manufacturing, QA/QC, Mechanical and Tooling Engineers as well as Project Managers, Mechanical and Electrical Technicians, Equipment Engineers, Schedulers and Planners as demand is expected to increase.

Green Tech and Green Research & Development  then offers considerable long term employment prospects for native Irish  engineering talent.
