How to apply for Project Coordinator Ukraine

About DGB GROUP

DGB Group develops carbon offset projects focused on reforestation and biodiversity. The company is international, and this role is its local presence in Ukraine. You would be the main point of contact between the international team and Ukrainian stakeholders.

About the role

You would represent DGB Group at local meetings with government bodies, NGOs, farmers, landowners, and agricultural companies. Your job is communication and coordination, not environmental technical work. You report updates and action points to the international team in English.

A typical day

A typical day might include attending a meeting with a local agricultural company or municipality, taking notes, and sending a short English summary to the international team. You would also follow up with landowners or partners by phone or email and schedule upcoming meetings. Ask the company how much travel is expected and how often you would report to the international team.

Who DGB GROUP is looking for

• Based in Ukraine and able to travel to meetings with local authorities, landowners, and agricultural companies.
• Fluent in Ukrainian and English, with clear written reporting skills.
• Organized and reliable, able to track multiple relationships and follow up on action points.
• Comfortable representing a foreign company to government bodies, NGOs, and farming businesses.

Tips for this application

• State clearly in your first paragraph that you are based in Ukraine and available for local travel.
• Give one or two concrete examples of coordinating between local stakeholders and an international team.
• Name the types of Ukrainian stakeholders you have worked with: ministries, municipalities, landowners, agricultural enterprises, or NGOs.
• Show you can write short, factual English updates. Attach a one-page sample report if possible.
• Avoid presenting yourself as an environmental expert. This role is about coordination and representation.

What to cover in your cover letter

Emphasize your location in Ukraine and ability to attend meetings across the country. Describe your experience managing relationships with government bodies, farmers, or agricultural companies. Show you can report in English to a remote international team. Explain why you want to support carbon projects that help farmers and landowners generate carbon credits.

Research before applying

• Read DGB Group's website and any public reports on their Ukraine carbon projects.
• Research how agricultural land management generates carbon credits, at a basic level.
• Identify which Ukrainian ministries, municipalities, and agricultural associations are relevant to land management.
• Check if DGB Group has other country coordinators and what their roles involve.

Likely interview topics

Based on the job description, expect questions about:

• How would you prepare for and report on a meeting with a Ukrainian ministry or municipality?
• Describe a time you managed relationships with several local partners at once.
• How do you handle a stakeholder who is skeptical about carbon credit projects?
• What is your process for following up on action points after a meeting?
• How would you explain DGB Group's work to a Ukrainian farmer or landowner in simple terms?

Common mistakes to avoid

• Applying without confirming you are based in Ukraine and can travel locally.
• Focusing on environmental or technical expertise instead of coordination and communication.
• Writing a generic cover letter that does not mention Ukraine, agriculture, or carbon projects.
