Role and Responsibilities

• Compile historical and current data on production, trade, demand, costs, emissions, infrastructure, and industrial processes across cement, steel, and construction chemicals. 
• Use AI-assisted tools for extraction, cleaning, summarisation, and verification of large datasets. 
• Develop initial sector fact packs and country snapshots following established templates. 
• Prepare high-level LCA data summaries, energy intensity profiles, and material-flow snapshots. 
• Produce initial analytical insights and identify emerging patterns for STA review.

• Extract building codes, materials standards, and technical requirements relevant to cement, steel, aggregates, admixtures, and concrete performance. 
• Map certification protocols, testing laboratory capacity, and institutional roles. 
• Produce structured summaries and comparison tables for STA validation. 

• Identify key actors across government, industry, testing institutions, standards bodies, and associated regulators. 
• Map incentives, constraints, and institutional capabilities at a descriptive level. 
• Support the STA and Project Lead in preparing targeted validation interviews based on identified influence pathways. 

• Manage all interview logistics, including scheduling, pre-reads, confirmations, and follow-up. 
• Attend interviews and produce clean, structured notes (as appropriate). 
• Prepare standardised 1-2 page interview summaries capturing key insights. 
• Coordinate targeted email follow-ups to clarify data or technical details.

• Prepare draft tables, charts, summaries, and evidence packs for STA review. 
• Develop v1 sector assessment sections that the STA will refine and technically elevate. 
• Maintain an organised research repository and ensure version control. 
• Support preparation of monthly reports and drafting of technical narrative components for Steering Committee review. 

• Prepare agendas, briefing notes, and slide decks for Steering Committee sessions. 
• Track deliverables, timelines, and dependencies across the four-month work programme. 
• Ensure clean documentation and record-keeping to support project governance. 

Requirements

• Ability to prepare clear tables, charts, and written summaries for senior technical review. 
• Strong analytical and research capability, including structured information gathering, synthesis, and verification. 
• Ability to work with industrial, cost, emissions, standards, and high-level LCA-related datasets (with STA providing technical validation). 
• Comfortable producing well-organised first-pass drafts and evidence packs that support senior technical review. 
• Familiarity with standards bodies, certification systems, testing laboratories, or building materials. 
• Experience coordinating multi-stakeholder engagements or supporting senior technical experts. 
• Prior work in emerging markets or with development partners. 

• Highly organised and capable of managing multiple workstreams simultaneously. 
• Strong writing and synthesis ability. 
• Reliable, detail-oriented, and consistent in meeting deadlines. 
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, iterative environment.
