UNOPS hosts the Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL) Secretariat/Programme in Vienna, Austria. Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL) is an independent organization with a global mandate to accelerate progress on the energy transition in emerging and developing countries. We work at the intersection of energy, climate, and development. We collaborate with governments and partners worldwide to end energy poverty, accelerate the deployment of renewable energy solutions, and combat climate change.
Our vision is a world where everyone, everywhere, can lead a dignified life on a healthy planet, powered by sustainable energy. We promote this vision by pushing for higher ambitions, stronger policies, greater finance flows, increased localization and green jobs, and faster results toward an energy transition that leaves no one behind.
This position is located within the Integrated Energy Access Planning team. Through its new Integrated Energy Access Planning Programme, SEforALL seeks to accelerate the development and adoption of ‘best-in-class’ integrated energy access plans (IEPs) as a way of helping high energy access-deficit countries gain a more integrated and data-driven understanding of the technologies and spending required to achieve universal energy access.
The main objectives of the Integrated Energy Access Planning team are:
1. To accelerate the adoption of ‘best-in-class’ integrated energy plans among high energy access-deficit countries;
2. Create practical tools and knowledge products that help ‘set the standard’ for best-in-class IEPs;
3. Commission IEPs in countries where IEPs may not exist or where they could be improved upon;
4. Provide tailored advisory support to countries that have developed or are developing an IEP to help them better utilize their IEPs and translate them into policies, finance and action;
5. Use high-level advocacy to secure political buy-in on integrated energy access planning and the role of distributed energy in meeting energy access goals.
The position will require the incumbent to primarily support within the Zambia project, while also contributing to various activities with the IEP team.
Education: First Level University (Bachelor’s) degree in a relevant field.
