Expiration date: 18 October 2022
Achieving net-zero emissions before mid-century requires every aspect of our lives to become climate neutral. Located in Europe’s primary industrial cluster, the Netherlands and Belgium have an important exemplary role when it comes to industrial decarbonisation and transformation. Together with the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia, this industrial conglomeration must be tackled in a coherent manner to seize the unique chance to build a competitive climate neutral industry.
As an organization, Bellona Europa has always been at the forefront of environmental innovation and industrial decarbonisation. Being a group of evidence-based environmentalists, our goal is to implement new, more sustainable actions effectively reducing CO2 emissions today. We advocate for pragmatic approaches that deliver the greatest impact, today and tomorrow. As a watchdog against greenwashing, unafraid to address contentious issues, we also endeavour to cooperate with all stakeholders interested in immediate climate action.
From our Oslo and Brussels offices, we have been advocating for transformative climate action in industry for decades.
We are looking for a motivated, experienced and communicative professional in climate policy and sustainability to expand Bellona’s operations in the Netherlands, Belgium and North Rhine-Westphalia (the so-called ARRRA cluster – Antwerp, Rotterdam, Rhine, Ruhr Area) with a strong focus on the Netherlands and Flanders. Given the centrality of the Belgian-Dutch industrial cluster for Europe’s industrial transformation, we have expanded our work in Belgium and the Netherlands, with a focus on stakeholder engagement and advocacy at a national and regional level.
There is no specific degree requirement. As the work is highly interdisciplinary, the best candidate could hold a degree in political science, business, engineering, natural sciences, or law. The candidate could have a proven record of deep diving in relevant technical issues, while effectively dealing with regulatory, political and business issues.
We offer a full-time position based in Brussels with a competitive NGO salary on an initial one-year contract with the expectation of extension, starting as soon as possible. Bellona promotes a multicultural, flexible, inclusive and collaborative work environment.
