Hiring for the solar transition? NZC can help - at no cost to your business

Net Zero Careers (NZC) is a nationwide service run by GoodPeople, connecting people to the skills and jobs driving the transition to net zero - across clean energy, retrofit and energy efficiency, sustainable transport, green construction and natural resource management. And because they work only in these sectors, they understand what solar employers actually need - from MCS-certified installers to surveyors, designers and customer-facing roles.

Why NZC works for employers:

  • A proven track record - over 300 people placed into net zero careers in the last two years
  • Access to untapped local talent - they work with 200+ referral partners and 30+ colleges and training providers, giving you larger candidate pools and more diverse shortlists
  • Sector-ready candidates - 1,000+ net zero-aligned jobs move through our platform every month, and their candidates are actively pursuing careers in the industry
  • Social value, built in - their approach supports local hiring, S106 obligations and supply chain diversity targets, with the data to evidence it

Best of all, NZC is currently fully funded by corporate partners including The MCS Foundation, Deloitte and Shell UK - giving you access to a pipeline of diverse, net zero-ready candidates at no cost to your business. You can list roles, attend their careers fairs and tap into their candidate pipeline for free.
