You may be a strong fit if…
- You have a background in environmental law, environmental engineering, sustainable development, or natural resources management.
- You possess professional experience in project management, monitoring and evaluation, or technical assistance related to climate change or environmental protocols.
- You are fluent in Spanish and hold Peruvian nationality or a valid work permit in Peru.

What should you think carefully about?
- The contract is short-term, running only until December 31, 2026.
- The position requires physical presence in Lima, Peru, at the offices of PRODUCE and UNDP.
- Eligibility is strictly restricted to individuals with Peruvian nationality or a valid work permit in Peru.
- The application window is exceptionally brief, closing on September 23, 2026.
How could this fit your current goals and plans?
This role is well-suited for professionals looking to build substantive experience within the United Nations system and national government agencies, specifically focusing on environmental policy, project coordination, and ozone-depleting substance regulations. It offers a structured platform to apply technical and legal expertise to high-impact sustainability projects in Peru.
Our take
Environmental professionals and legal experts with local work authorization in Peru who have background experience in sustainability or climate change initiatives should consider applying immediately before the tight September 23 deadline. It is less suitable for international candidates without local work authorization or those seeking long-term permanent employment beyond late 2026.
