Senior Manager/Director: Energy Transition

Job Description

Job Description & Summary
Job Description:
The Anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions which have driven global warming and climate change present an existential crisis which is the defining issue that needs to be addressed urgently today in energy generation and use. Approximately three quarters of global GHG emissions are from the production, transformation, transportation and consumption of energy, due to continuing reliance on fossil fuels as a primary energy source. Driving rapid improvement in energy efficiency across the economy and transitioning the energy basket from fossil fuels to more sustainable energy sources at the scale and pace required are the key components of an Energy Transition strategy to achieve peak emissions as early as possible, and subsequently, drive emissions down towards NetZero.
However, energy security and affordability are keystone components of economic activity. Accelerating peak emissions and NetZero through energy efficiency & transition, without derailing much needed economic growth to close the development deficit in developing countries, is an extremely complex problem to solve. It will involve disruption to established governance frameworks, market structures, business models, pricing approaches, and technology, labour, and financial markets.
Governments that need to set the agenda and define the new rules of the game, and businesses and individuals that need to respond to preserve and create value are seeking efficient and effective solutions to achieve critical milestones and mitigate against negative distributional impacts of such a monumental change.
PwC Indonesia's Energy Transition practice is working on several complex problems in Indonesia's Energy Transition, across the public and private sector. We draw on our global network for expertise as required and localise it through our Indonesian experts to address country nuances to solve Indonesia's challenges in planning and implementing the Energy Transition. We seek to do this in a way that maximises positive environmental and social impact, while driving value creation for our clients and the economy as a whole.
If the opportunity to be part of this journey excites you, and you have the necessary understanding of issues, expertise in at least one of the areas, and relevant skills, read on.
