The energy transition – you have probably heard of it. It is no longer a question of wanting to, but of having to. Fortunately, this company has been well aware of this necessity for some time now and is putting all its energy into the movement. Are you in?
Into to what?
This multinational has set itself the target of developing 150 hydrogen filling stations in Europe by 2030. This target is part of the climate objective of a net-zero carbon emission in 2050. For these objectives, large subsidy programmes are made at European, national and regional level. In particular, for the realization of hydrogen infrastructure. Hydrogen will play a crucial role in reducing CO2 emissions in sectors such as long-distance transport of heavy vehicles.
I know how to do it, what do I do?
To start with, you are the single point of contact related to all hydrogen related projects this company will participate in. For a good transition, you will make sure that internally the company is informed about hydrogen subsidy projects. In addition, you manage the relations with subsidy authorities and ensure that the subsidy dossiers comply with the subsidy guidelines. If necessary, you have the possibility to contact external subsidy expert agencies and act on behalves of the company. You participate in network building activities and connect the company with strategic partners, organizations and government agencies within the subsidy network. Finally, you take care of the internal and external visibility of hydrogen projects.
What should I bring?
Of course, working with energy should give you energy. Preferably, you have several years of experience with developing subsidy applications at national and international level, developing subsidy strategies and reporting on current subsidy projects. Most preferably in the field of clean energy or hydrogen. Due to the level at which grants are made, a good knowledge of English is required. And good knowledge of the existing external grant network in the field of new energy will also be indispensable. Knowledge of French would be a plus.
What else is in it for me?
You can expect a high reward from a position with so much responsibility. Not only on contributing to the most relevant question of our time, but also on a financial aspect. The need is high, are you the freelancer with the drive, knowledge and experience to help this company reach their zero carbon emission target?
