Consultant as Electric Mobility Research Assistant - Cities and Transport Program
This is a hybrid position which requires 8 days per month in the office. You will be based in our office in WRI Indonesia, Jakarta. Existing work authorization is required at the time of application submission as WRI is unable to sponsor any visa work sponsorship for this position.
Program Overview
WRI Indonesia’s e-mobility portfolio focuses on reducing cities’ greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions through sustainable transportation and vehicle electrification, while working in parallel with energy and climate programs to green the electricity grid and maximize emission reductions. Our mission is to help cities and provinces implement low-carbon development, particularly in the transportation and energy sectors, to achieve economic, social, and environmental goals.
Zero-Emission Heavy-Duty Vehicle (HDV) Acceleration
Heavy-duty vehicles (HDVs) contribute 31.7% of GHG emissions from national land transport and are also a major contributor to air pollution. From an energy security perspective, national diesel consumption continues to increase, reaching 38.57 million kiloliters (KL) in 2024. Indonesia’s high reliance on diesel also exposes the transport sector to volatility in global oil prices, creating broader implications for national energy security. To address these environmental and energy challenges, the Government of Indonesia (GoI), through the National Energy Master Plan, has set ambitious targets for zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) adoption, including the electrification of heavy-duty vehicles such as public transport buses and trucks.
To address these fundamental barriers, WRI Indonesia is proposing a supply- and demand-side approach to accelerate ZEV adoption in the HDV sector in Indonesia. The goal of this project is to develop a policy framework and proof of concept for the National Green Logistics Corridor Initiative to accelerate freight decarbonization, which can simultaneously address supply- and demand-side barriers to HDV electrification. Through this strategic program, which will be co-implemented with key national ministries and private-sector stakeholders, WRI Indonesia seeks to engage an Electric Mobility Research Assistant to support technical analysis, research, and the development and monitoring of the National Green Logistics Corridor Initiative in Indonesia.
Job Highlight
The Electric Mobility Research Assistant will work closely with the Urban Mobility Team to conduct technical research and analysis on electric mobility. The role will focus on developing zero-emission transport solutions to support transport decarbonization and energy sovereignty through rigorous data collection, analysis, and model development. The Research Assistant will work with specialists and other analysts on the team to support knowledge development on electric mobility, particularly through the National Green Logistics Corridor Initiative to accelerate zero-emission HDV adoption and advance supply- and demand-side regulations.
The Electric Mobility Research Assistant will work under the direction and supervision of Electric Mobility Program Lead, with support from other specialists on the team. The position is based in Jakarta based in Jakarta with an office-flex working arrangement and travel as required. In support of WRI's DEI commitment, you are responsible for actively participating in these collaborative efforts by integrating equity into your work, our workplace, and the organizational culture.
