At ENACT, we’re committed to working alongside rural and Indigenous communities to strengthen energy access as a foundation for development. We take a participatory approach by engaging deeply, listening carefully, building trust over time, and supporting communities to make informed decisions and take ownership of their energy systems.
As our work grows across Malaysia and Southeast Asia, we’re recruiting for three full-time roles:
📍 Kuala Lumpur | Full-time | Start ASAP
📌 2) Project Officer – Delivery & Policy Support
Coordinate multi-stakeholder programmes, contribute to policy and regulatory engagement, and turn complex discussions into clear plans, timelines, and deliverables.
We’re a small team with a strong sense of purpose. If you’re motivated by energy access for community development and want to work in a team that takes participation, partnership, and collaboration seriously, we’d love to hear from you.
