$9 Billion Fracking Water Industry Will Increase Waste Water Jobs


Posted by hintons

Like all other articles from Hinton Human Capital, this article is purposed to promote jobs.

The Reasons Why This Article Should Get Your Attention

Industry Week Writer Jonathan Katz wrote a great article “Report: Fracking to Grow U.S. Water-Treatment Market Nine-Fold by 2020″.  In it, he covers a report from Lux Research which outlines the growth factors of shale gas fracking water industry. One of the quotes in the arrticle got my attention and should get yours as a job seeker:

“Fracking represents a significant water treatment challenge  — hydrocarbons, heavy metals, scalants, microbes, and salts in produced and flowback water from shale gas wells represent a water treatment challenge on par with the most difficult industrial wastewaters,”-Brent Giles, Lux Research Analyst and Author of the Report “ ”Risk and Reward in the Frack Water Market.”

Reason #1: New Technology Development

 New technology development requires the best and brightest minds to solve problems. Frack water is a serious environmental & political problem connected to America’s domestic energy policy. You can expect companies to hire engineers and scientists to work on these projects. Here are some of  engineering backgrounds that will be needed:

  • Chemical
  • Environmental
  • Mechanical
  • Electrical
  • Software

Reason #2: New Technology Means New Investment

Wall Street and other financial leaders know that big problems can lead to big opportunities. Frack water will be an issue as long as the energy companies are committed to developing the shale deposits. Investments lead to job opportunities. Watch the reaction of the stock market.

Reason #3: Environmental and Water Industries Will Need New People to Fill Jobs

The environmental and water industries are facing losses due to retirements and low numbers of people entering the field. The Frack water situation not only presents opportunities for degreed professionals but for:

  • Water & Waste water Treatment Plant Operators
  • Environmental Technicians
  • Business Development/Sales

Solar Energy’s “Dark Side” Comes to Light in New Environmental Jobs


Posted by hintons

This article is not intended to denigrate or politicize clean energy technology or the solar industry but to inform the public about new job opportunities. The links provided lead to important job information.

Heavy Metals = Tough, Highly Skilled Environmental Jobs

San Francisco’s CBS channel 5  in its coverage of the cleanup and decontamination of the Solyndra’s facilities in California, has reported that toxic heavy metal compounds are present on the site. It is widely known that solar panel manufacturers use heavy metal materials such as Cadmium Telluride, Copper Indium Selenide,  and Gallium Arsenide . What is not discussed openly is that these highly toxic compounds require highly trained personnel and specialized equipment to remove these compounds for proper disposal. Since this article is focused on jobs, let’s talk about them here:

  1. Hazardous Materials Managers & Technicians: According to the Bureau of Labor (BLS) statistics the growth of jobs for hazardous materials removal workers will range from 20-28% or higher over the next decade. During a cleanup action, such as the one in California, technicians wearing protective gear (PPE) will sample all of the equipment and materials in the facility to determine what is clean and contaminated. Clean materials and equipment will be removed and disposed in the appropriate manner. Contaminated equipment and materials will dismantled, cleaned, packed and shipped to a licensed disposal facility.
  2. Environmental Engineers: Environmental engineers find ways to neutralize or minimize the toxic chemical’s effect on the environment if there is some type of accidental release. This field is projected to have a growth rate over 25%.
  3. Inspectors:  Environmental Inspectors will make sure that the contaminated equipment, waste containers and the facility will be cleaned to regulations. They will also monitor the sampling, cleaning and closing procedures to make sure no corners are cut.
  4. Safety Managers: Safety managers will monitor the employees and safety equipment to make no one contracts a contamination derived illness. They will also have a key role in ensuring no contamination is released into the public.

As the solar industry continues its growth trend, there will be strong opportunities for environmental/hazardous waste professionals. It is my hope that many job seekers will explore these opportunities to see if they are right for them.
