Job Description

Are you passionate about the challenge of the energy transition? At Moeve, we are transforming energy and mobility to improve the world together, and we need all the talent possible to make it a reality. This is your opportunity!

What will your role be?

You will lead the technical and regulatory dialogue at national, European, and international levels regarding raw materials suitable for the production of renewable fuels and sustainable products. Your fundamental mission will be to ensure compliance with the Renewable Energy Directive (RED) and associated legislation, comprehensively managing raw material certifications and ensuring the integrity of the entire supply chain.

In addition to your regulatory activity, you will provide your technical vision for the development of new business models based on waste and cover crops, by-products, and low-carbon materials, actively contributing to building a consistent and high-impact corporate positioning for the company.

Activities with an institutional representation dimension (before administrations, sector associations, industry forums, or specialized media) must be developed under the coordination and responsibility of the Corporate Affairs Directorate (which establishes the strategic framework, defines corporate messages, and determines the spaces for external representation). You will be part of the company's network of institutional interlocutors and will actively contribute to building a consistent and impactful corporate positioning, ensuring that the strongest arguments reach the spaces where they can generate the most value.

Why is this the perfect position for you?

Analyze and monitor national and international regulatory developments on raw materials derived from waste and cover crops, representing the company in associations and technical groups.
Lead and manage audits, renewals, and verifications under recognized sustainability schemes, such as ISCC and RSB.
Ensure full traceability of supply chains based on waste (UCO, agricultural, industrial) and cover crops, evaluating all documentation that proves their origin and status.
Manage and operate European platforms and country-specific databases (Nabisy, Carbure) for the registration and traceability of raw materials derived from waste and cover crops.
Analyze the regulatory and certification feasibility for new supply chains, providing support to R&D projects for advanced renewable fuels and biomethane.
Provide strategic advice on the drafting of contracts, supplier evaluations, and due diligence, ensuring compliance with corporate sustainability clauses.
Develop internal procedures and train various teams on mandatory certification and traceability requirements.

Who we are looking for

Education: University degree in Engineering, Environmental Sciences, Chemistry, or a related technical discipline.
Experience: At least 5 years of professional experience in the field of sustainable certification, biofuels, circular economy, or waste management.
Demonstrable mastery of certification schemes (ISCC, RSB), proficiency in traceability platforms (Nabisy, Carbure, traces), and solid experience with raw materials derived from waste and cover crops.
Excellent understanding of RED criteria.
High analytical capacity.
Professional level of English.
Availability for frequent travel and the possibility of residing in Brussels.

It would be ideal if you also:

Have experience in advocacy or participation in regulatory working groups, as well as postgraduate training or specialization courses in renewable energy and sustainability.

Location: Madrid, Torre Moeve and Brussels, Belgium.

Why join the Moeve team?

With more than 10,000 employees, an international presence, and nearly 100 years of history, at Moeve we lead the energy transition for a better world. Our goal is to take care of people and the planet, starting with the people who make up the Moeve team.
