South Pole is an energetic, global company offering comprehensive sustainability solutions and services. With offices spanning all continents across the globe, we strive to create a sustainable society and economy that positively impacts our climate, ecosystems, and developing communities. With our solutions, we inspire and enable our customers to create value from sustainability-related activities.
Job summary:
South Pole is one of the partners in a consortium of European organizations that have been mandated to work with European cities to develop, implement, action, and finance their Net Zero Investment Plans to reach carbon neutrality by 2030. This mandate, known as NetZeroCities (NZC), is an initiative launched as part of the European Green Deal and directly linked to the European Commission’s Mission for 100 Climate-neutral and Smart Cities by 2030.
South Pole’s core role in the NZC project is to provide technical assistance to 100+ selected European cities to further advance projects in the development process and facilitate access to finance from public and private investors. Our technical assistance offering supports cities in the project preparation process of individual urban infrastructure projects, sector/geography-based bundled projects, and overall city investment plans and investment opportunities.
The main objective of this role is to take on responsibility for selected technical assistance (project preparation support, economic and financial modelling, financial structuring, and investment advisory, as well as capacity building) provision to cities for their sustainable infrastructure projects to support them towards access to finance. Depending on your expertise and interests, you will be working on projects in the renewable energy, energy efficiency, built environment, sustainable transportation, urban greening/NBS, circular economy, and/or carbon removal sector. Thereby, you will collaborate with a broad range of public and private partners, clients, and stakeholders from the financial, infrastructure, public administration, and private sector.
This is a mid-to-senior professional role, with the potential to grow depending on mandate scope growth and follow-on mandates. You will be part of an international team of infrastructure, climate finance, and technical assistance experts within South Pole and work with a variety of consortium partners across the EU in a European flagship program to reduce emissions and increase the quality of livelihood in Cities.
Your work location must be in Switzerland, but with the option and interest to travel within Europe.
Main responsibilities:
- Responsible for technical assistance/consultancy provision to municipal sustainable infrastructure projects to support them in project preparation towards access to finance.
- Coordinate small teams of internal and external experts to provide expertise and prepare deliverables for the technical assistance provision to municipal sustainable infrastructure projects.
- Take on responsibility for certain workstreams that South Pole is involved in/or responsible for in the scope of the program.
- Participate in planning and coordination calls with South Pole’s partner organisations within the NZC program.
- Contribute to deliverables, reports, and publications.
- Contribute to and potentially lead the elaboration of additional funding proposals and business development efforts for additional mandates in the sustainable infrastructure sector.
- Contribute to the capacity building of the NZC team at South Pole and in the NZC consortium through your sector-specific expertise in infrastructure project preparation and investor engagement.
Requirements:
Essential:
- University degree in civil engineering, business/industrial engineering, urban planning, sustainable finance, business, economics, or similar.
- Min. 7 years of hands-on experience in (urban) sustainable infrastructure project planning and/or financing in one or several of the outlined sectors.
- Sustained understanding and hands-on experience with the structuring/set-up of different business and financing models across one or several of the infrastructure sectors outlined.
- Several years of consultancy or technical assistance experience ideally for public sector mandates.
- Strong project management and communication skills.
- Pro-active, independent, solution and customer-oriented working style.
- Interested in on-the-job learning and brings persistence to overcome setbacks.
- Working proficiency in English.
Desirable:
- Had prior exposure to (public) multi-stakeholder projects for which continuous alignment and coordination is necessary.
- Comprehensive understanding of financial markets, financial structuring, and investment instruments as they apply to sustainable infrastructure projects.
