Job opening - Water position at ICLEI Europe: Project and training officer for sustainable local water management

The European Secretariat of ICLEI – Local Governments for Sustainability has opened the position of a Project Officer in the field of sustainable water management. The Secretariat is based in Freiburg, Germany. At the core of ICLEI’s water activities is the so-called ‘Water Campaign’, a framework to guide local governments in their efforts for sustainable water management. The Campaign promotes the development of local water agendas at three different levels: for its municipal operations, the urban community, and the local watershed. The Water Campaign is based on a series of performance milestones that advocate the systematic identification and evaluation of water resource management challenges facing local governments. ICLEI’s International Training Centre, located at the ICLEI European Secretariat, currently coordinates the LoGo Water project and takes part in the SWITCH project with a major role in capacity-building. Furthermore, the ICLEI Europe Water Network serves water specialists of all kind with up-to-date information on latest policies and practices in Europe.
