In this position you'll be acting as one of T&E's key energy experts.
• Analyzing and dissecting data as well as complex policy issues from a variety of sources including scientific studies, reports and models being used to shape global policy and using these to develop a detailed understanding of the issues from an environmental, economic and societal perspective.
• Developing briefings and inputting into advocacy and campaign materials based on robust data, evidence and argumentation in order to reduce the climate impact of the transport sector.
• Advocating T&E's position to policymakers at national and regional and international level (ICAO, IMO), politicians, business leaders, civil society actors and our international network.
• Converting large data sets or complex policy implications into clear, robust and beautiful charts.

The successful candidate should meet all of the following criteria:

• Proven (7+ years) expertise in and knowledge of the energy system, alternative fuel production and/or biofuel supply chains. Job title and salary will reflect previous experience.
• Have strong analytical skills, an ability to quickly grasp technical issues, assess data, and good knowledge of Excel or other modelling tools.
• Relevant professional experience working on technical issues in the environmental or energy sectors, or in a research institution, is highly recommended but we'll make exceptions for very talented starters.
• Project management experience including strong interpersonal and team-working skills and an ability to deliver to tight deadlines.
• Excellent communication and presentation skills and an ability to write in English fluently, accurately and concisely. Other Asian languages are considered a bonus.

• Asian languages (e.g. Mandarin, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean) are considered a bonus.
• Project management experience including strong interpersonal and team-working skills and a track record in delivering to tight deadlines.

Practicalities

This is a permanent, full-time position based in Singapore. While we offer a very flexible working environment, the successful candidate will be expected to spend at least 3 days per week in the office.
