- Identifying sources of funding for entrepreneurial projects and establishing contacts with funding partners

Your Profile:
- University degree in economics, environmental economics, energy management or another qualification that provides the necessary skills for the job
- Several years of professional experience in the field of cooking energy
- Experience with biomass, especially with using liquid gas
- Ideally regional experience and experience with German development cooperation
- Very good command of English
- Citizenship of an EU- or EFTA member state

What we offer:
- Varied work with individual responsibility in an international field
- Teamwork with other development cooperation organisations
- Professional preparation for overseas deployment
- COVID-19 vaccination offer before departure
- Placement to a local employer as an Integrated Expert for an initial period of two years - an extension is possible
- Attractive monthly allowances as well as a local salary and social benefits

Please follow the link of the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs for travel information.
