Local Energy Consultant

INDODEPP is a government-to-government cooperation on energy, initiated in 2020 to support the Indonesian government in reaching its targets on energy and climate change. It covers four areas: scenario-based long-term planning and regulation, integration of renewable energy, energy efficiency in national strategies, and low-carbon development in the provinces.

The Danish Energy Agency (DEA) in Copenhagen and the Royal Danish Embassy in Jakarta manage the programme. Key Indonesian partners include the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (MEMR), the Directorate General of New, Renewable Energy and Energy Conservation (EBTKE), the Ministry of Industry, BPSDM Jakarta and PPSDM KEBTKE.

You will assist the DEA in its ongoing activities and in programme development on energy efficiency in buildings and industry (Outcome 3). This includes facilitating partnership engagements and close day-to-day coordination between the DEA, EBTKE and relevant Indonesian institutions, local authorities, organisations and stakeholders.

You will contribute technical analysis and local insight on energy conservation in buildings and industry, support the dissemination of results and recommendations on regulation, and assist with a broader set of administrative tasks on an ad hoc basis. Technical knowledge or prior work experience from the energy sector is required.

The specific portfolio of tasks will be agreed with the two project leads at DEA, who are your main reference point during the engagement.

• Facilitate day-to-day coordination with the project leads at DEA and between key Indonesian partners, supporting the development and progress of energy efficiency programme activities
• Support programme administration on an ad hoc basis: managing deliverables, developing and updating material, budget planning, presentations and speaking notes
• Take part in high-level meetings, site visits and workshops in Indonesia, providing logistical and linguistic support (venues, catering, translation, invitations, minutes, documentation)
• Provide stakeholder mapping and engagement advisory for the formulation and implementation of energy efficiency activities, as part of annual programme reporting and evaluations
• Maintain close coordination with companies, local authorities, universities, industrial clusters, local consultants and business associations
• Monitor political, policy and legislative developments affecting energy efficiency in Indonesia
• Provide technical input to reports and review technical documents on Indonesia's energy sector and energy efficiency in buildings and industry

• A Master's degree in engineering, international relations, political science, business or investment administration, economics or another relevant field (alternatively a Bachelor's degree with additional relevant work experience)
• Minimum 5 years of work experience in Indonesia's energy sector, preferably in renewables, energy efficiency and the green transition; experience from both private companies and government institutions is an advantage
• Previous project coordination experience and technical knowledge in energy efficiency
• Good political intuition; experience working in or with government bodies or other politically led institutions is preferred
• Knowledge of Danish strongholds in green technologies is an advantage, but not a requirement
• Proactive and innovative, able to grow and maintain a network in the energy sector, with strong analytical skills
• Able to work independently and in teams, and to travel domestically and internationally
• Fluency in Bahasa Indonesia and English, both written and spoken

An international, mission-driven work environment with travel in Indonesia and possibly to Denmark, collaborating with Danish energy specialists and Indonesian stakeholders on the green energy transition.

The role is a full-time, fixed-term local contract with a competitive monthly salary, BPJS employment and health insurance, THR, end-of-contract compensation, 12 working days of paid annual leave plus Indonesian national holidays, and paid sick leave. Daily work is remote (work from home) in Jakarta. Technical direction and performance evaluation rest with the INDODEPP team.
