About CLEPA

We are the European Association of Automotive Suppliers, representing the voice of an innovative industry driving safe, smart, and sustainable mobility across Europe.

The Position

For this highly interesting and varied role, we seek an individual with a willingness to develop quickly in a fast-paced environment, an affinity with automotive technology solutions, and an interest in regulatory affairs within an international setting.

Importantly, the candidate must have a genuine interest in road transport and mobility, particularly in terms of reducing its environmental impact, with a focus on low-emission propulsion systems (e.g. advanced emissions control, electric & fuel-cell vehicles, hydrogen, synthetic and renewable fuels), decarbonisation, and life-cycle-assessment for road transport vehicles and their constituent systems and components.

Although not mandatory, prior working experience leading to an understanding of the principles for system type-approval or technical product certification or standardisation, and of European legislative processes, is considered an asset.

·       Manage the various dossiers and corresponding documentation and help prepare international meetings with technical experts and external stakeholders.

Candidate Profile

·       University degree in Engineering, ideally Automotive, Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering.

·       Good verbal and written communication skills in English (additional knowledge of other languages is a plus).
