Overview
Why United States — and why now
The Inflation Reduction Act did not just pass legislation — it ignited the largest peacetime industrial mobilisation in American history. Solar farms are breaking ground across the Sun Belt. Battery gigafactories are rising in Georgia, Michigan, and Nevada. Offshore wind is finally taking shape along the Atlantic seaboard. And every one of these projects needs engineers, environmental specialists, project managers, supply chain analysts, and ESG professionals who genuinely know their subject.
GreenHired US is where clean energy companies and climate-focused employers post their open roles alongside full salary ranges — because if they are serious about the mission, they should be serious about transparency too.

Market context
Why United States’s green economy is hiring right now
The US green jobs market has a split personality that makes it genuinely exciting right now. On one side you have massive federal investment pushing traditional manufacturers, energy companies, and utilities to build clean capacity at scale — creating thousands of well-paying engineering and trade jobs in states that have not historically led on climate. On the other, you have Silicon Valley-adjacent climate tech startups attacking hard-to-abate sectors from cement to shipping with software, hardware, and new materials chemistry. Both are hiring aggressively. Both are paying competitively.
What is different about this cycle compared to previous clean energy booms in the US is the geographic spread. Solar and battery manufacturing are going to the Carolinas, Tennessee, and Kansas — not just California and New York. Wind operations are in Iowa, Wyoming, and Texas. The green jobs conversation has moved from coastal cities to the industrial heartland, and that changes both the scale and the character of what's being built.

Questions
Green jobs in United States — FAQ
The questions candidates ask us most about working in United States.
Which states have the most green jobs in the US?
California leads by volume across solar, climate tech, and clean transportation. Texas has surged through wind and utility-scale solar despite its political reputation. New York is strong in offshore wind development, green finance, and policy. Colorado, Massachusetts, and Washington state have strong clean tech industries. IRA incentives are actively creating new jobs in Georgia, Michigan, Tennessee, and the Carolinas.
How much do green jobs pay in the United States?
Wind turbine service technicians earn $55–75k. Solar project engineers earn $75–110k. Climate data scientists and AI engineers working on climate applications earn $110–160k. Senior ESG managers at large corporations typically earn $120–180k. Green finance and impact investment roles in New York or San Francisco can reach $200k+ for experienced professionals. Geographic variation is significant — the same role pays 20–35% more in San Francisco than in Phoenix.
What is the IRA and why does it matter for green jobs?
The Inflation Reduction Act (2022) is the largest climate investment in US history at $369 billion. It provides production and investment tax credits for clean energy manufacturing, renewable energy development, EV adoption, and energy efficiency retrofits. The practical result is a wave of new projects, factories, and grid infrastructure projects — and a corresponding surge in hiring across engineering, trades, project management, and sustainability functions.
Are green jobs only available in big US cities?
No — and this is one of the most meaningful shifts driven by IRA incentives. Many of the largest new clean energy projects are in rural and Midwestern states. Solar farms, wind projects, and battery manufacturing plants are creating well-paying skilled trade and engineering jobs in communities that experienced decades of industrial decline. Remote work has also made urban-headquartered climate roles accessible to candidates across the country.
