In Ukraine, Tetra Tech implements the USAID Energy Security Project (ESP), a seven-year project funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the largest USAID project in Ukraine so far. USAID ESP’s mission is to enhance Ukraine’s energy security, improve the energy legal and regulatory environment, and bolster energy supply resilience to support economic development and sustain Ukraine’s democracy. Tetra Tech is working closely with the Government of Ukraine to develop competitive energy markets and facilitate private sector-led energy investments to provide affordable, reliable, resilient, and secure energy for all Ukrainians. This project is expected to run through June 2025.

The Regulatory & Legal Specialist/Expert will also assist the Energy Market & Institutional/Regulatory Advisor with circulation of reports, documents, and meeting minutes as required by ESP. This is a full-time position for the period of one year with the possibility of an extension for another term. This position is based in our Kyiv office. Learn more about ESP here.
