Secretariat of the Committee on Industry, Research and Energy

The Directorate-General for Economy, Transformation and Industry (DG ECTI) supports the work of several key parliamentary committees and is committed to empowering Members of the European Parliament with the tools, expertise, and support they need to excel in their legislative, scrutiny, and budgetary roles. 

As a cornerstone of the European Parliament’s administrative structure, DG ECTI ensures the seamless functioning of committee activities, while fostering evidence-based decision-making informed by expert analysis and dedicated research services across the policy areas falling under its remit, including economic and monetary affairs, taxation, the internal market and consumer protection, industry, research and energy, the environment, climate, food safety, and public health.

We are the Secretariat of the Committee on Industry, Research and Energy (ITRE), one of the largest committees in the European Parliament. ITRE's policy remit is both wide ranging and rich in content. As a result, ITRE offers trainees a true cross-cutting experience that covers Union energy, research and innovation, industrial, space and telecoms/digital policies.

Each of these areas is an essential component of the Union's internal market and has a direct impact on the lives of its citizens. ITRE Committee has a wide legislative portfolio. Trainees in ITRE will have the opportunity to experience first-hand the legislative process inside the Parliament, all the way from the drafting phase right up to vote and adoption in Plenary.

Our trainee will be tasked with summarising proposals, attending and reporting back on conferences and workshops to the Head of Unit and Administrators, drafting preparatory documents, conducting research, and compiling and drafting various information notes for the Administrators and Head of Unit.

Our trainee will regularly attend Committee, Coordinators’ and Shadow Rapporteur meetings.

We are looking for a pro-active and motivated candidate who is able to work both autonomously and within a team.

Our chosen trainee will be able to integrate quickly in the Secretariat and maintain good relations with all colleagues.

We wish to recruit a reliable, efficient and dedicated colleague looking to make the most of this exciting opportunity.

The successful candidate will have excellent communication skills in English, as this is our main working language.

The European Parliament is dedicated to fostering an inclusive and equitable workplace. We welcome all candidates, regardless of their geographical, racial or ethnic origin, political or religious beliefs, age, disability, gender identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic background, civil status, or family situation.
