✒️ Start Date: ASAP

Are you concerned by transport’s climate impact and continued reliance on fossil fuels? Have you got experience in how the electricity system will need to adapt to cope with the changes to both supply and additional demand? T&E is looking for a talented and dynamic data analyst to join the team to work on electro-sustainable aviation fuels (e-SAF). The electrification of transport and acceleration of the deployment of renewable energy will create both challenges and opportunities in the green transition. The analyst will work alongside the shipping and energy team to build a case for e-fuels to use in transport’s hard-to-abate sectors.

Aviation is a challenging sector to decarbonize. We’re looking for a data analyst to research available aviation decarbonization options, using data and research to inform policy and financial instruments in order to deliver the required fuels. We need convincing and compelling charts, analysis, reports and presentations to convert complex information into advocacy and media friendly material. Finally, we need to convince European lawmakers to set ambitious but achievable goals to drive the sector from being the fastest growing climate problem to one of sustainability.

This position requires an engineer or scientist with experience in environmental science, energy systems or related fields.

Main functions of the role:

● Taking a leading role on T&E’s analytical work on green energy for aviation

● Compiling robust and compelling data, evidence and argumentation in order to reduce aviation’s climate impact.

● Developing analytical models and tools, conducting market analysis, and quantifying the impact of regulations to inform policy solutions and T&E strategy

● Analyzing data as well as complex policy issues from a variety of sources including scientific studies, European Commission reports and models being used to shape EU policy

● Support the organization with ad hoc requests and fast technical responses for both internal and for third party stakeholders, such as policy makers and journalists.

● Advocating T&E’s position to policymakers at EU and national level, 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 would ideally meet the following criteria:

● At least two years relevant experience in the field of energy and/or transport. This position is open to talented entry level candidates to those with 5+ years experience. Job title and salary will reflect previous experience.

Expertise in and knowledge of energy systems, electricity markets and synthetic fuels and their processes.

● Have strong analytical skills, an ability to quickly grasp technical issues, assess data, and good knowledge of Excel. Python programming would be an advantage.

● 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 European languages are considered a bonus

● The confidence to think and act with initiative, to engage and influence policymakers of different stripes, industry representatives and other stakeholders at the highest level.
