Oil Spill Related Environmental and Disaster Jobs on the Rise
Usa Green Jobs Now.Org is Already Working to Connect You to These Positions
1.
Water Treatment Industry: Water will always need to be treated but firms which make chemicals to disperse
and that are used in the treatment oil laden water. Some of these companies will have to ramp up the
manufacturing operations to meet the demand because the recession has forced them to cut production or lay off
workers. Some Temporary and contract manufacturing jobs maybe around the corner.

Usa Green Jobs Now.Org is working on getting some of these positions secured today to put Americans back
to work as that is our purpose and goal!
3.
Environmental Law: There will be hundreds if not thousands of lawsuits against BP and all the responsible
parties of the oil spill. Both supporting staff positions and Environmental Attorneys will need additional staff to handle
the mountains of evidence needed to get a judgment. These suits typically take years to complete so there is
potential for some long-term employment.
4.
Damage Assessment Inspectors: Agencies such as EPA, FEMA, USGS, Army Corps of Engineers, and US
Coast Guard will have hundreds of people working the spill area to figure out what was damaged, how it was
damaged and estimate cleanup costs. Although these jobs may be temporary, a paid position could pay very well. In
addition to federal inspectors, insurance companies’ environmental groups and the oil companies will have their
people on the ground. They will be looking for people with estimating/construction experience, high math aptitude
and ability to work outdoors for extended periods of time.
5.
Oil and Gas Service Companies: There are a number of companies who provide emergency equipment and
services such as divers, safety personnel firefighting and well capping to the Oil & Gas industry who will benefit
from the capping and cleanup efforts. I will explore this area more in future articles.
My hope is that we can get the people in place to contain the oil; clean the impacted area and restore the damaged
ecosystems as soon as possible. Check our website out at www.Usagreenjobsnow.Org for updates daily.
