Environmental Specialist for Extractivism and Sustainability
hace 3 semanas
About AGIAMONDO
AGIAMONDO e.V. is a leading personnel service provider in development cooperation, empowering professionals to make a meaningful impact. As part of the Civil Peace Service, we offer opportunities for service in cooperation with local development actors, promoting conflict resolution without violence.
The socio-economic program of Corporación Podion addresses the ecological consequences of extractivism in Colombia, focusing on documenting environmental violations and working with affected communities. Our project builds on successful measures like the fracking ban, tackling issues such as water protection and environmental damage caused by oil extraction.
We are committed to lobbying and taking legal action to address these concerns. Although Colombia has progressive environmental legislation, there is a lack of implementation, putting environmentalists and community members at risk. To develop restoration measures, we collect baseline data on biodiversity and environmental damage, from negotiations with companies to legal action.
Our focus also includes transferring knowledge and skills to communities. This role involves business trips to different parts of the country to understand regional conditions. Bogotá offers a good quality of life and is considered suitable for families, although it may take around two months to find accommodation initially.
Frequent trips lasting several days to supported organizations and communities are an essential part of this job.
Your Role
- You will support communities in educational processes to clarify socio-economic conflicts with a focus on rights and gender aspects.
- You will carry out environmental analyses with communities to identify hydrological risks and potentials.
- You will provide technical support on environmental issues in lobbying and legal proceedings.
- You will accompany partner organizations in legal, educational, and communication processes.
- You will lead studies on the protection and sustainable use of water sources in prioritized regions.
- You will prepare analytical reports and communication materials on environmental conflicts.
- You will strengthen networks, support thematic partnerships, and provide technical support for national and international lobbying.
- You will be responsible for proper spending and administration of funds according to donor guidelines and AGIAMONDO specifications.
Your Profile
- You have a relevant university degree in natural or environmental sciences, such as environmental engineering, ecology, biology, or geography.
- Ideal candidates hold a Master's degree in biodiversity, environmental law, or ecological assessment.
- You have at least 3 years of professional experience in environmental conflicts, preferably in the context of extractivism.
- You have at least 1 year of experience in biodiversity and/or environmental impact assessment, especially in the mining sector.
- You have experience in participatory planning for transforming environmental conflicts and characterizing hydrological environmental impacts.
- You are fluent in Spanish; good English is an advantage.
- You are an EU citizen or Swiss national and identify with the goals and concerns of church development and peace work.
Benefits
- Individual and comprehensive preparation.
- Three-year contract with social security and remuneration according to the Development Aid Act.
- Further training in the country, language, or other professional skills, as well as coaching and supervision.
- Individual counseling.
Estimated Salary: $4,000 - $6,500 per month
