Pretoria, Gauteng, South Africa GIZ. Full time

About Us:

To reach climate neutrality by 2050, we must transform our economies to operate emission-free fast.

While 100 % renewable energy is key for this transformation, some industries and transport sectors cannot yet directly electrify to become climate neutral.

Until they can, Power-to-X (PtX) and hydrogen are the missing link.


Green Hydrogen and PtX enables industries to produce anything historically dependent on fossil fuels with renewable electricity and non-fossil carbon.

For example sustainable, climate neutral e-fuels and chemicals that can defossilise high-emissions industries, including the chemical, fertiliser, steel and cement industries, as well as aviation and maritime transport.

The contract period for this position is until
31March2025, in line with the commission period of the Project. This position is based at GIZ SA, Hatfield, Pretoria.

To be considered you need the following:

Professional Experience & Qualifications:

  • Proven technical knowledge in at least one of the fields mentioned above by relevant work experience or higher education degrees.
  • Demonstrated success in project and process management.
  • Familiarity with the South African energy sector, renewable energy, and related policies. Good networks in the South African energy landscape will be an advantage.
  • Strong interest in issues related to the green hydrogen, PtX and the energy transition and proven willingness to further develop and enhance knowledge and competencies on norms and standards.

You will be a great fit if you have the following:

  • An ability to work in a multi-disciplinary, diverse and complex environment.
  • An ability to work in a team and autonomously in a structured, methodical manner.
  • Relevant computer skills (Microsoft Office, Microsoft Teams etc.).

WHAT WILL YOU BE DOING - Technical Responsibilities**- Support the overall implementation of the project activities.

  • Advisory of partners in South Africa (government, private and civil society).
  • Planning, preparation and implementation of the development of concept for the production and use of PtX products especially in maritime transport and aviation
  • Preparation and support of strategic cooperation with companies in the powertoliquid and powertogas industry to develop sustainable PtX concepts
