Role OverviewBackground: The Banks strategy in the energy efficiency and climate change sector is to further mainstream energy efficiency and climate change-related activities with a view to increasing their impact (in terms of volume of financing, number of operations, coverage of sectors, energy savings and emissions reductions, as well as innovative financing instruments) and assisting the region of operations in improving its energy efficiency performance.
More specifically, the Bank will scale up its sustainable energy programme (screening of renewable energy and industrial energy efficiency projects and use of energy audits), roll out dedicated credit lines, develop new products addressing energy efficiency in the built environment and design other innovative financing mechanisms to meet its sustainable energy objectives. In particular, the Bank has established the Western Balkans Sustainable Energy Direct Financing Facility (WeBSEDFF) with an initial endowment of up to EUR 50 million for providing debt financing to small renewable energy and industrial energy efficiency projects in the Western Balkans, Serbia and Croatia. The main goal of the Facility is to create efficient mechanisms for delivery of financing to local entities wishing to pursue industrial energy efficiency and/or small renewable energy projects. Given the increasing global focus on climate change and energy security, sustainable energy will play a significant role in the Banks operations in the Western Balkans, Serbia and Croatia. Therefore, EBRD is seeking to develop its sustainable energy activities in the region and is establishing this position in its Sarajevo Resident Office (Bosnia and Herzegovina), to materially contribute to this goal. An Associate / Principal Banker is sought to work in the EBRD Resident Office in Sarajevo as part of the Country Team covering the Western Balkans.
