The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development was founded in 1991 when communism was crumbling in Europe and ex-Soviet countries needed support to nurture a new private sector and democracy. Today we invest to help build market economies from central Europe to central Asia and the southern and eastern Mediterranean. We are now the largest single investor in our region. Owned by 69 countries and two intergovernmental institutions, we provide project financing for banks, industries and businesses. We also work with publicly owned companies to support privatisation, restructure state-owned firms and improve municipal services. Wherever we are active, we promote policies that bolster the business climate.

Purpose of Job
The Principal Water Sector Specialist is responsible for the technical aspects of projects within the water sector contributing to all phases of the investment cycle primarily involved in project preparation and to a much lesser extent project implementation and monitoring. In addition, the Water Sector Specialist will assist in assessing project opportunities, risks and addressing transition impact from an engineering point of view as well as supporting and promoting the integration of sustainable solutions in cities and regions the Bank operates. He/she will be familiar with conventional and non-conventional (e.g. desalination) sector solutions. The role also includes elements of supporting the Bank’s infrastructure strategy. The Principal Water Sector Specialist will distinguish themselves by the depth and complexity of water sector projects to be assessed for the SIG banking teams, as well as the ability to handle diversity of project structures and risks to be analysed with regard to technical innovation brought in particular by private sector clients of the Bank.
The Sustainable Infrastructure Policy & Project Preparation (SI3P) team is composed of technical, financial and procurement specialists. It is tasked with enabling EBRD’s Sustainable Infrastructure Group (SIG) to develop future-ready programmes and prepare high-quality projects for clients in line with the Bank’s transition mandate.
Accountabilities & Responsibilities
The Principal Water Sector Specialist will be a member of the Project Preparation & Implementation (PP&I) Unit, which is part of the SI3P team and is responsible for providing technical due diligence and project scoping with some in-delivery oversight. The wider remit of the PP&I unit is the identification and development of ?cross-over’ project opportunities which include the integration of water, energy and food security as well as participating in the EBRD’s Green Cities initiative largely through support to Green City Action Plans (GCAPs) which are an integral part of this initiative. The Principal Water Sector Specialist will provide technical authority to the three SIG infrastructure banking teams to originate and develop their pipeline of projects in the water sector. For each project, the Principal Water Sector Specialist will report to the Operation Leader (OL) supporting project preparation, appraisal and monitoring (as appropriate) providing both pragmatic, sound, innovative and imaginative solutions or approaches that facilitate project signing and project monitoring post-signing. Where appropriate, the Principal Water Sector Specialist may also advise and shape the softer reform components (e.g. Technical Cooperation) that enhance the sustainability of investments and as such may support the OL in securing funds necessary to develop these project-related elements. For certain projects he/she shall liaise with other banking teams from the Risk, Climate Strategy and Delivery (CSD), Impact and Environment & Sustainability (ESD) departments to facilitate project development
