This sector will create 200,000 new jobs until around 2030, without long training and with a salary of up to 6,000 euros. Here is the list of jobs.
This is the major sector of activity of the decade in France. It will be very strongly pushed by politicians with a recovery plan of 20 to 30 billion euros of additional annual investment in the next 5 years according to official figures. Essential in the ecological transition, the sector needs 650,000 jobs by 2030, a large proportion of which will not be filled.
A chance for those looking for work: 170,000 to 250,000 additional jobs will have to be created to cover the needs, as France Stratégie indicated in two notes last September (No. 126 and 127). This government department believes that the attractiveness of these professions must be strengthened. And this is what is happening with rapid training, or very rapid in some cases, very attractive salaries and an increasingly valued usefulness in society. The energy renovation of buildings is in fact the sector that concentrates the needs of the moment and the future in France.
It can be considered that replacing polluting oil or gas boilers with heat pumps and biomass, renovating low-energy buildings (BBC) and making the indoor temperature more bearable for homes, in winter as well as during heat waves, gives meaning to his work.
