Description
The ideal candidate is an experienced (blue) carbon project manager that knows the ins and outs of the carbon credit production standards and methodologies, and provides additional ecological perspectives with the obtained degree in climate science several years ago. Mangrove trees, coastal ecosystems, and wildlife in general excite him or her and there is an intrinsic drive for restoration of biodiverse habitats. He/she has a really good set of writing skills, allowing him/her to write and develop impressive Project Design Documentation, that always passes accrediting body evaluations. The candidate has ideally also led projects on the ground in remote geographies such as Sub-Saharan Africa or the Amazon, and understands complex stakeholder management. The candidate must have the desire to be part of a fast growing and quickly scaling international, well-educated, highly mobile team, whereby the candidate is able to switch between performing basic feasibility operations, design complex project estimation models and senior advisory to the management.
Your work will help drive funding to coastal wetland restoration and conservation partners to adopt best practices that improve ecosystem services, increase carbon storage, and build resilience to future climate change and sea level rise. You will focus particularly on developing coastal wetland restoration and conservation projects that aim to increase vegetative biomass in tidal wetlands and shallow seagrass environments.
A day in carbon management at DGB could look like:
Tuesday: you still need to finalise some research on your upcoming trip to some major seagrass beds in Tanzania in 3,5 weeks. The feasibility study of last month has generated positive results, and you are creating the framework for the Project Idea Note. You take a call with our Project Leader in Tanzania to work out some of the logistical details. He reminds you that you can apply for the fast-lane service for obtaining the Visa on arrival. Yesterday, you have circulated the first complete version of a Project Design Document with the DGB management team for expansion of an existing project in West Africa, and have received the first sets of comments to be incorporated in the documents. You contact the required accreditation body for this project to set dates for the first meetings on this project expansion. You still have a whitepaper to read, which you received from an alumni of your university on a new set of methodologies for measuring mangrove biomass via the use of drones. Finally, you write up some notes on your recent ideas on how to improve the Project Idea Note creation, to discuss with the IT guys.
