About GWEC

Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC) is the industry association representing the global wind industry sector. GWEC articulates the vision for global wind energy to major world bodies, including the UNFCCC, the International Energy Agency, the International Renewable Energy Agency and other bodies, as well as governments which are responsible for strategies, targets and implementation thereof in electricity generation and supply. GWEC has a particular focus on Global South regions across the Asia-Pacific, Africa and Latin America. GWEC works together with the leading representative industry associations as well as the global wind energy industry to build a platform which communicates a common vision to all leading global decision-makers, policymakers and key opinion leaders.

About the Role

GWEC wishes to call upon an individual ("the Candidate" or "them") to act as Specialist, Grids, as part of the global Policy team. The Candidate will report to the Head of Policy, and work closely with regional policy leads and the Director of Advocacy.

They will be responsible for writing briefings and reports on the grid and system operation issues which impact wind energy growth, including: mobilising investment and planning for future grid needs; building the infrastructure for a renewables-based power system; storage and flexibility technologies complemented by wind energy; and opportunities for international cooperation on grids. They will conduct consultation with GWEC's members and support global advocacy activities, such as via industry taskforces, workshops with government officials, public webinars and media articles.

The Candidate should have a strong understanding of and interest in wind and renewable energy policy, as well as the wider energy transition. This role offers the opportunity to deepen policy expertise and research skills for future career growth in the policy and public affairs fields, while building a wide-ranging network in the renewables industry.

Consult with GWEC members on a regular basis to collect information and understand the impact of regional/global developments and technological advancements for operating wind and renewables-based systems;
