You are also responsible for providing specialist support to col- leagues in bands 2 and 3 and ensure the quality of the commission’s outcomes.

In addition, you contribute to the conceptual design of the project, in particular its modification or realignment.

You perform the tasks assigned to you by your line manager, where required.

B. Main Activities

The advisor leads a component with the aim of facilitating further integration of just transition principles in national energy-related strategies and regulations. The detailed tasks are as follows:

• Provide expert advice to Bappenas, MEMR, and other key ministries—directly, through inter-ministerial processes, or via cooperation platforms—on further development, formalisation, and implementation of the national Just Energy Transition (JET) Framework.
  • Advice national government agencies on integrating JET measures into the national mid-term development plan (RPJMN), the update of the national electricity plan (RUKN), and other relevant strategies and technical regulations, taking into account economic, social, environmental and workforce dimensions.
  • Document and synthesise experiences at subnational and project levels related to social acceptance of large-scale renewable energy projects and economic transformation in coal regions, and channel these insights into national frameworks, policies and strategies.
• Provide policy advice and technical support to Bappenas for its participation in the German-Indonesia Energy Cooperation Hub (Energy Hub).
• Manage external experts (national and international) and events (e.g., training, consultations), including preparation of terms of reference and related documents, oversight of consulting contract implementation, ensuring achievement of expected results.
• Contribute to project and program planning, reporting, knowledge product and publication writing, and portfolio development of the Energy Program.
