The Role

Australia has a long-standing partnership with Vietnam in the energy sector, and the two countries share a commitment to take urgent and ambitious climate action. The recently upgraded Comprehensive Strategic Partnership (CSP) includes a pillar on climate, energy and environment. Vietnam is a priority country in the Australian Government’s international climate engagement strategy, with P4I serving as an important mechanism to support Vietnam’s clean energy transition and respond to the impacts of climate change

P4I recently undertook a high-level energy design to guide energy programming in Vietnam through P4I over the coming 18 months to December 2025. The Energy Officer - Vietnam will work closely with P4I’s Energy Lead based in the Bangkok program office and P4I staff working for different delivery partners, the Australian Embassy Hanoi and DFAT to drive P4I’s energy program through fostering stakeholder relationships with relevant government entities and officials in Vietnam. Based on these relationships, the Energy Officer will support development and implementation of P4I’s energy programming.

The role supports the Australian Government’s priority of developing sustainable, inclusive, and resilient growth in Southeast Asia through the development of quality infrastructure. This will be achieved through the creation of strong partnerships amongst Australian and Southeast Asian government agencies and institutions.
