Bruxelles, Région de Bruxelles, Belgique Euroheat & Power Temps plein
Euroheat & Power (EHP), the international association for District Heating & Cooling (DHC), is searching for a:

Policy Assistant


Euroheat & Power is the European association promoting sustainable heating & cooling, with a focus on district heating and cooling solutions.

It represents 130+ members in more than 30 countries worldwide, including national DHC associations in the European Union, utilities operating DHC systems, manufacturers, research institutes, consultants and other organisations involved in the DHC business.


The decarbonisation of heating and cooling is critical to delivering Europe's energy and climate objectives. The heating sector represents 50% of Europe's energy demand and remains highly dependent on fossil fuels. Without a doubt, heating & cooling is the next EU energy policy arena to achieve the European Green Deal objectives, and become climate-neutral before 2050. Locally owned and a flagship of the European industry, district heating and cooling (DHC) will be critical to further decarbonise heating & cooling (enabling the uptake of renewable and recovered heat sources) and contribute to strengthening Europe's energy resilience and security. The DHC industry has tremendous potential to grow in Europe and
could provide up to 50% of the heat demand by 2050
In 2019, our sector pledged to achieve climate neutrality before 2050.

Working with European and national policy makers, Euroheat & Power's core mission is to ensure that its members and community achieves this goal, and benefits from the appropriate EU framework to develop renewable and sustainable solutions.

On this journey, we need committed and talented people


Come join a great working environment, a dynamic, fun and multicultural team, and make your mark in Europe's energy and climate transition.
