A Water, Sanitation and Environmental Management Specialist fluent in Spanish and experienced in design and management of wetlands and green areas, and planning training activities in university institutions is needed to assess the current situation of the Universidad Tecnológica de Panamá (UTP) lake. The university has had an artificial lake built with the purpose of creating a recreational space without direct contact and a water source for an irrigation system for green areas. Subsequently, the area adjacent to the lake has been arranged as a point of the National Alliance Program for the Million Hectares Reforested (an initiative from the government for reforestation). The establishment of the use of this area over time has generated the need for the development of technical skills to have a sustainable reforestation program, establish the mechanisms to reach adequate environmental conservation management and guarantee the quality of water, sanitation, and the hygiene of the area. Periodic maintenance cleanings and cleaning days are carried out to the seedlings with the support of teachers, administrators and students. The lake has been very poorly managed because it has not been regularly monitored and there is no documentation of related activities. It is necessary to have a complete program to adequately manage both the lake and its surrounding green areas. The Peace Corps Response Volunteer (PCRV) could provide advisory services to cover this technical assistance and the generation of these capabilities. The mission of the university is to provide society with comprehensive, qualified, entrepreneurial and innovative human capital, with critical and social thinking responsible, in engineering, science and technology. Generate appropriate knowledge to contribute to the sustainable development of the country and Latin America. Respond to the requirements of the environment. The Water, Sanitation and Environmental Management Specialist will work to advise university professionals in the development of a sanitation program, including recovery and maintenance of the green areas and lake of the university campus. In addition, the PCRV will advise and co-design a wetland project proposal for managing the existing treatment of wastewater from the university. Other duties include: developing a manual for monitoring and evaluating the lake, and developing training activities and educational campaigns in the aspects of water conservation, management, and treatment, and sustainable reforestation. The goal of this assignment is to allow the PCRV to provide support to cover technical assistance and generate the above duties and responsibilities.

A Forest Management Specialist fluent in Spanish and experienced in agroforestry practices and monitoring and evaluating forest restoration is needed to train farmers in wood handling techniques. The Despertar Campesino Cooperative, a local farmer association, was managing an agreement for the exploitation of Caribbean pine for almost 8 years with the Ministry of the Environment where the objective was to do forest management of the wood plantation and that this was used for the manufacturing of furniture and sale of clean wood. One of the weaknesses of the Cooperative was that it didn’t have the necessary tools to make the most of it. The interest of the Cooperative is to implement techniques, harvesting tools and a better plan for the sustainable use of the plantation with the support of the Peace Corps Response Volunteer (PCRV). Through the technical support of the Volunteer, members of the cooperatives and managers can be better trained to manage the forestry project that would benefit the cooperative and its associates, as well as the community in general. The Forest Management Specialist will train and advise Cooperative staff and partners in charge of the project in techniques and strategies to take advantage of trees in the best way, and thus obtain better income for the organization to continue and expand the social projects of the organization and local communities. The goal of this assignment is for the PCRV to train partners, including designing an operational manual, and creating a record for wood extraction and processing.

Nature Based Solutions (NBS) comprise all activities related to the protection of or (re-) development of natural  ecosystems resulting in natural carbon sequestration, and the marketing, trading and sale of resulting carbon  credits and other services and products. NBS are expected to play a material role in the fight against climate  change (this  report http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2017/10/11/1710465114     from NGO The Nature Conservancy gives a good overview), and have also been identified as a potentially material lever to achieve Shell’s announced Net Carbon Footprint (NCF) ambition ( management day 2017 ). The NBS team in New Energies is developing Shell’s business model and growth approach to realize NBS’s potential for Shell, as both a contributor to reducing Shell’s NCF and to serve external customers seeking to offset carbon and other greenhouse gas emissions. This effort is being conducted in concert with other teams in Shell who are involved with NBS. There is a sizeable Environmental Products Trading Business in Shell Trading that already serves Shell and external customers in both compliance and voluntary markets. NBS also works with Downstream businesses, aimed at assessing the potential of carbon neutral energy product sales to Shell customers. Reporting to the GM Business Development, the NBS team in New Energies is looking to add an experienced Business Development Manager to lead origination and development of opportunities on the supply side of the NBS value chain. This will involve Shell investment in carbon sinks (including, but not limited to, forest conservation, forest management, afforestation, wetland protection and regeneration and certain agriculture related projects). The role is an opportunity to join NBS at the shaping stage, not just in Shell but also in the broader societal and corporate space. Accountabilities You will be expected to: ·  Source and deliver credible, scalable and competitive NBS investment opportunities that yield carbon offsets (and possibly associated ecosystem services and commercial products) in a manner that is consistent with the NBS strategy ·  Progress selected opportunities (in line with portfolio strategy) along the development funnel in compliance with Shell’s deal governance; ultimately aimed at delivering value-adding, strategy-aligned NBS investments for Shell ·  Manage a pipeline of opportunities at different stages of development whilst ensuring delivery of priority deals ·  Develop and maintain strong relationships with stakeholders on the supply side of NBS: project investors/ developers, entrepreneurs, Governments, NGOs, multi-lateral agencies ·  Work closely with related teams in Shell to deliver opportunities ·  Bring market insights to provide strategic input to the development and execution of Shell’s NBS Strategy ·  Help “write the rule book”, for Shell and the industry with regard to how investments in NBS can be structured, financed and executed Dimensions Nature Based Solutions is an immature industry and a new area of activity for Shell, with three main value drivers: cost-effective contribution to achieving Shell’s net carbon footprint ambition, development of carbon neutral energy product customer value propositions to sell to existing and new customers, opportunity to develop a material new business area in New Energies. Your results as Business Development Manager will be primarily measured based on the value to Shell of the business opportunities you are able to mature and execute. Identifying which projects to stop, and prioritizing efforts, will be as important as putting new opportunities into the funnel. The credibility of Shell’s offset supply project investments is of paramount importance. Projects must stand up to factual/scientific and wider societal scrutiny. You will be working in a rapidly evolving business area, often in challenging regulatory and legal environments, executing deals that are new to Shell and as such will require a lot of internal education and stakeholder management. You will be a part of a global and virtual team of capable and motivated individuals and as such, will benefit from the ability to work with and form relationships with a diverse set of individuals. The position calls for a self-motivated, entrepreneurial and responsible individual with the ability to perform well under pressure, and able to adapt to an evolving internal and external environment. The role will have a global remit, with the potential to lead and support deals where either counterparties or projects will often be outside Europe. As such, a reasonable amount of international travel will be part of the role. Remember to say you found this opportunity at EnvironmentalCareer.com
