Climate change specialists measure and analyse changes in the weather over a set period of time. Their work may involve gaining an insight into how human activities affect the environment. Responsibilities can involve researching climate change patterns in offices, collecting land and water samples in the field, and testing field samples in specialist laboratories, meaning that candidates for these jobs must feel comfortable working in a range of environments.
Due to a rise in awareness, policy changes and emerging technologies, the climate change recruitment market has grown in recent years. The need for skilled candidates is greater than ever and agencies are increasingly in demand to meet staffing needs.
Employers of climate change staff include the government, educational institutions, and environmental organisations and consultancy firms. In most cases, the minimum qualification required to enter into a job as a climate change specialist is a bachelor's degree in geology, environmental science, geochemistry, physics or meteorology. Degrees in subjects relating to environmental science often include work experience, which is an essential requirement for many climate change jobs. Graduates lacking work experience may wish to volunteer with conservation organisations before they apply for employment openings.
Whether you're looking to hire or looking for work, we list more than 100 recruitment agencies that recruit for permanent, temporary or contract climate change jobs in the UK.
