The European Investment Bank is pleased to invite you to an online event to share how our Energy Engineers and Economists make a difference in Europe and beyond. Join us live on 17 November to interact directly with our specialists and learn more about opportunities at the EIB.
The Projects Directorate at the EIB
PJ works together in cross Directorate teams, namely with the EIB’s Lending Directorate, to appraise and monitor projects, assessing their economic, financial and technical sustainability, and provides advice and independent opinions to the Bank’s decision makers on the quality and risks of projects and on sector policy to be followed. PJ is also involved in policy formulation for the Bank to respond to EU policies and sectoral studies to help in identifying potential projects and plays an important role in advising promoters on the development and implementation of projects, either directly or through external consultants.
About the ENERGY sector
In 2019, the EU adopted a comprehensive legal framework to deliver ambitious climate and energy targets for 2030, including further reducing greenhouse gas emissions, increasing energy efficiency and promoting the use of energy from renewable sources. The Bank’s energy lending policy sets out how the Bank, as a public bank, can help support the EU in meeting this challenge. It represents a significant change in the Bank’s approach to the energy sector and an important input into the Banks overall climate strategy.
We are the only bank owned by and representing the interests of the European Union Member States. We work closely with other EU institutions to implement EU policy. Our expertise is based on more than 60 years’ experience and the specialised knowledge of over 3,400 staff.
We support projects that make a significant contribution to growth and employment in Europe. As part of our counter-cyclical approach, our activities focus on four priority areas: innovation and skills, access to finance for smaller businesses, environment and climate, infrastructure.
We raise the bulk of our lending resources on the international capital markets through bond issues. Our excellent rating allows us to borrow at advantageous rates. We thus are able to offer good terms to our clients.
For many of us the greatest reward is to know that our contribution makes a positive impact on people’s lives, in the EU and beyond. By joining the EIB you will have the opportunity to make your contribution, whilst also developing your skillset and facing new professional challenges.
Based in Luxembourg, with a network of local and regional offices in Europe and across the world, we offer a pleasant and interesting work environment where people can achieve their professional goals, while maintaining work-life balance; with excellent professional development opportunities through training, internal mobility and merit-based career growth.
As the bank of the European Union, we are committed to the EU’s objectives and values, and aspire to live up to one of its founding principles – United in diversity.
Diversity and Inclusion encompass everything that makes us who we are.
We believe that encouraging colleagues to be comfortable bringing their identities to work is essential to the success and development of the Bank, and reflects Europe itself.
Our diverse backgrounds, perspectives and passions help us shape the inclusive environment in which we work every day.
