Yayasan Kopernik Vacancy: Sales Coordinator, Padang Sidempuan

Kopernik distributes simple life-changing technologies to the last mile through its local partners. In partnership with Differ and Prime Cookstoves, Kopernik is implementing the Low Emission Enterprises (LEE) project in the districts of Tapanuli Selatan (Tapsel), Mandailing Natal (Madina) and Padang Sidempuan, North Sumatra. The project aims to make Prime Cookstoves (also known as the UB.03-1 biomass stove) widely available to low-income families in the three sub-districts, with the goal of selling 22,000 cookstoves in North Sumatra by the end of 2015. To do this, Kopernik is recruiting Tech Agents to sell the cookstoves and building partnerships with cooperatives, women’s groups, farming groups and other community groups. The LEE project provides technical training on how to use and maintain the cookstoves, business training on how to manage a micro-enterprise, marketing training and materials, and logistic support.

Prime Cookstoves use up to 80 percent less wood than a three-stone fire and produces almost no smoke. By reducing the amount of firewood used for cooking, we will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by a projected 40,000tons per year, delivering a myriad of environmental benefits.

For more information about the project, see our update Starting Up Clean Cookstove Sales in North Sumatra.

To support the implementation of the LEE project, Kopernik is currently recruiting a sales coordinator.
