Renaturation and green infrastructure specialist

At Khora we believe that cities are key to face the great contemporary challenges and that urban renaturalization is a necessary lever to carry out the necessary transformations. We are looking for someone who shares this vision and wants to contribute to the implementation of high environmental impact interventions in Spanish cities.

We are looking for a profile with experience -between three and five years- in the design and management of urban renaturation projects for the public sector. Participation in projects subsidized with European or national funds in Spain will be especially valued.

What will you do with us

• You will join a team that addresses the complexity of urban challenges from a multidimensional perspective, bringing your skills in renaturalization and nature-based solutions.
• You will participate in the monitoring and evaluation of renaturalization projects and contribute to the measurement of impact indicators.
• You will join a team designing green and blue infrastructure projects for Spanish cities and drafting technical documents in accordance with current regulations for approval by municipal teams.
• You will contribute to the design of proposals and the identification of funding opportunities in renaturation for European and national calls.
• You will support the implementation, monitoring and justification of funded projects, participating in technical meetings with clients and beneficiary entities.

How we work at Khora

We are an urban innovation office with more than twenty professionals from different disciplines -urbanism, architecture, engineering, geography, economics, sociology, design, technology and communication-. This diversity is deliberate: we approach complex challenges from multiple and complementary perspectives.

We are passionate about cities and want to make them better for the people who live in them and the nature that surrounds them. We work with administrations and those who make up their technical and government teams from a relationship of collaboration and co-responsibility. Complexity motivates us and we apply iterative, open and systemic methodologies, convinced that urban solutions require non-linear processes. As we say internally: “If it’s not difficult, it’s not fun”.
