Geres recrute un responsable du programme d’efficacité énergétique (H/F), Phnom Penh, Cambodge

CONTEXT

Set up in 1976, Geres is an international development NGO which works to improve the living conditions of the poorest and tackle climate change and its impacts. As a grassroots actor, the energy transition is a major lever in all its actions. In order to drive societal change, Geres promotes the development and dissemination of innovative and local solutions, supports climate-energy policies and actions and encourages everyone to commit to Climate Solidarity by taking action and supporting vulnerable populations.

GERES implements a four-year project, SWITCH Garment, co-funded by the European Union through the SWITCH-Asia programme, to promote sustainable energy practice in the garment sector in Cambodia. Together with GGGI (Global Green Growth Institute) and the Garment Manufacturers Association in Cambodia (GMAC), Geres supports and facilitates the promotion and adoption of sustainable energy practice and technologies in garment factories in Cambodia.

The overall objective of the project is to decrease environmental impacts while increasing competitiveness in the garment industry in Cambodia, through higher investment in sustainable energy solutions (such as energy-efficient technologies, integration of solar energy, switch to sustainable biomass sources , energy management and good operations and maintenance).
