Background UNDP is committed to achieving workforce diversity in terms of gender, nationality and culture. Individuals from minority groups, indigenous groups and persons with disabilities are equally encouraged to apply. UNDP does not tolerate sexual exploitation and abuse, harassment (including sexual harassment), or discrimination. The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Ukraine, through its Energy and Environment Portfolio, supports national and local authorities in restoring, modernizing and transforming Ukraine’s energy and public infrastructure in line with the principles of sustainability, resilience, energy security and transparency. Since the full-scale war, UNDP has focused on ensuring continuity of essential public services while supporting Ukraine’s green and resilient recovery. The Project Associate positions will support the Ukrainian Public Building Energy Efficiency (UPBEE) project, funded by a EUR 300 million EIB loan, to improve energy efficiency and resilience of public buildings across Ukraine, focusing on small and medium-sized municipalities. UPBEE supports energy-efficiency renovations and modernization of public facilities, addresses war-related damage, and helps adapt buildings to meet the needs of internally displaced persons. UNDP provides technical and implementation support throughout the sub-project cycle, including planning, design, procurement, construction, rehabilitation, monitoring and evaluation, quality assurance, compliance and integrity measures, anti-corruption assessments, sanctions screening, technical supervision, site visits and capacity development for local authorities.
