The number of technology sales jobs Phoenix has to offer will continue to grow in the near future, and a lot of that growth will be in the green-collar industry.
A lot of technology companies are cashing in the concept of creating green jobs, or jobs that focus on performing environmentally-friendly work. As more companies start to sell green-focused technology, the need for technology sales employees will become stronger.
Siemens A.G. is a great example of a company planning to cash in on green technology. The company, which is the largest conglomerate in Europe, expects its green technology to bring in more than $55.83 billion in revenue by 2014.
"Green innovations are our lifeblood," Barbara Kux, who is responsible for managing Siemen's sustainability efforts and green portfolio, told Ecoseed Information Network. "We're the largest supplier of environmental technologies in the world."
The technology that Siemens is seeing the most demand for includes combined-cycle power plants, wind farms, retrofitting of existing power plants, energy efficient lighting systems, and eco-friendly trains. The company also predicts that demand for smart grid systems will begin to pick up soon.
Siemens also produces energy-saving lamps; energy-saving motors and solar inverters for building technologies; biomass plants; ground-based and rooftop photovoltaic power plants; and wind and steam turbines.
To date, the technology created by Siemens has helped its customers throughout the world reduce carbon dioxide by 270 million tons, which is equivalent to the total carbon dioxide emissions produced by Hong Kong, London, New York, Tokyo, Delhi and Singapore.
