The energy sector is a good place to look for high paying jobs!
Between 2015 and 2019, these jobs were created at almost twice the rate of the overall economy. As the US Energy & Employment Jobs Report (USEER) states: “In general, energy sector employees earn higher hourly wages compared to the national median, this is true across [nearly] all energy technology…and…industry segments.” This report found that the median hourly wage for all energy workers in the US is 34% higher than the national average.
However, it is important to understand variations in both pay and job availability within the energy sector.
For example, the nuclear industry offers a 105% wage premium over national averages, however this sector provides less than one percent of all energy jobs. Coal offers a 50% wage premium on average but is the only shrinking energy sector.
According to the Global Energy Talent Index, or GETI, the oil and gas industry on average provides the biggest salaries in the energy sector at $94,000. The top paying jobs in oil and gas include drilling supervisors ($172,000), reservoir engineers ($115,000), and process engineers ($112,000).
What about power and renewables?
According to Airswift, a global energy recruiter, “the renewable energy sector has on its side the industry trends and the public subsidies.” GETI found average salaries in power and renewables to be around $80,000, with the top paying jobs being construction managers ($98,000) and project managers ($88,000).
The IRENA Global Renewables Outlook finds that “jobs in renewables would reach 42 million globally by 2050, four times their current level.” The energy efficiency segment could create 21 million jobs and will be found in almost every county in the nation.
