Overview
Why Australia — and why now
Australia is in the middle of a green jobs boom that would have seemed implausible just a few years ago. The country once known for stubborn resistance to climate action is now adding solar capacity faster than almost any nation on earth, pushing toward an 82% renewables target by 2030, and watching its largest mining companies pivot toward critical minerals, green hydrogen, and low-carbon metals. The result is a jobs market with a genuine and growing gap between available talent and available roles.
GreenHired Australia brings together green jobs from Darwin to Hobart — from utilities, developers, miners, consultancies, and conservation organisations — with salaries shown upfront, so you can find the right role without spending weeks chasing basic information that should never have been hidden.

Market context
Why Australia’s green economy is hiring right now
What makes Australia's green transition distinctive is the combination of exceptional natural resources and the scale of change required in its resource industries. The same companies that built Australia's coal and iron ore wealth are now the biggest investors in green hydrogen, offshore wind, and critical minerals mining for battery supply chains. A metallurgical engineer who spent a decade in Western Australian iron ore now finds their skills in direct demand for lithium, nickel, and copper projects feeding the global EV boom.
Simultaneously, the energy grid — which struggled visibly under ageing coal plant failures — is undergoing a transformation that needs everything from grid engineers to community engagement specialists. South Australia pioneered the world's largest lithium-ion grid battery. Victoria is building the network of offshore wind farms that will eventually replace its last coal plant. Queensland's green hydrogen ambitions are drawing investment from Japan and Korea. Each of these is not just an energy story — it is a jobs story unfolding in real time.

Questions
Green jobs in Australia — FAQ
The questions candidates ask us most about working in Australia.
What green jobs are most in demand in Australia?
Solar and wind energy roles — project engineers, grid specialists, EV system designers — are currently the highest volume hiring. Green hydrogen is the fastest-growing new sector, particularly in WA and Queensland. Environmental scientists and heritage consultants are in constant demand for project approvals. ESG and sustainability managers are sought across mining, banking, and property. Clean energy finance and project finance specialists are also chronically undersupplied.
How much do green jobs pay in Australia?
Entry-level environmental scientists start at $60–75k AUD. Mid-level renewable energy engineers earn $95–130k AUD. Senior project managers on major solar or wind projects typically earn $130–180k AUD. Green hydrogen and critical minerals specialists command premiums of 15–25% above equivalent conventional roles. Perth and Sydney generally pay 8–15% above other cities for comparable technical roles.
Is Australia's mining industry genuinely transitioning to green?
Yes, and more substantially than the headlines typically capture. BHP, Rio Tinto, and Fortescue have made significant commitments backed by capital. Decarbonising steel and aluminium production requires low-carbon iron ore and alumina, and Australian miners are positioning to supply it. Green hydrogen for export to Japan and Korea is the most commercially advanced new frontier — with several large-scale projects already in final investment decision stages.
Which Australian cities have the most green jobs?
Melbourne and Sydney lead in ESG consulting, sustainable finance, and corporate sustainability. Perth is the hub for critical minerals, green hydrogen, and WA offshore wind development. Brisbane and Adelaide are growing quickly in solar development and clean energy. Darwin and Townsville are emerging green hydrogen hubs. Environmental and conservation roles are distributed more broadly across regional areas near major ecosystems and project zones.
