Steps increase automatically every two years; the figures here are taken from the salary grid in the EU Staff Regulations.Eligible staff posted away from their country of nationality also receive an expatriation allowance worth 16% of basic salary (around €712 per month at step 1 of FGIV) together with household, dependent-child, and education allowances where applicable. Take-home pay is then adjusted by the country correction coefficient for Barcelona. For a worked example see our correction coefficients guide and the EU salaries overview.## Application timelineThis vacancy was first listed on 17 July 2026, today.The application deadline is 3 August 2026, 16 days from today. Late applications are not accepted, so submit through the official EU Careers portal well in advance.Last verified against the EU Careers feed on 17 July 2026.## Where to learn moreFor full responsibilities, requirements, and career progression at FGIV see our FGIV grade page; for headcount, mission,and other open vacancies at F4E see the F4E institution page; for the cost of living,correction coefficient, and other postings in Barcelona see our Barcelona location page.New to EU careers?

For application logistics see application tips and EPSO competitions.## Net pay at this gradeAt step 1 of FGIV, gross monthly basic salary on the Contract Agents grid is €4,449. Eligible expatriate staff add a 16% expatriation allowance on top (roughly €712 per month) before two automatic deductions reduce the taxable base: the joint sickness insurance scheme (JSIS, ~3.6%, €186) and the EU pension contribution (~10.3%, €532). EU community tax (Council Reg. 260/68) is then applied progressively; for the AD7-equivalent band the effective rate sits in the 11 to 13% range, which works out to about €533 per month here.For Barcelona we apply the Brussels-equivalent coefficient (100%) as a default. The official coefficient may differ, see the methodology guide for the most recent table. On those assumptions take-home pay is approximately €3,911 per month, or about €46,926 per year, before household and dependent-child allowances, which can add several hundred euros monthly for staff with families. For the exact bracket-by-bracket computation see our net-pay methodology, and our correction coefficients guide for the full duty-station table.## Comparable recent rolesIn the last twenty-four months F4E (and the wider Commission and agencies family) has filled several adjacent roles at the same FGIV grade level. The most recent comparable vacancies, with their actual application windows:* **Project Coordinator** at Eurojust (published, closed )* **Expert - Data Management** at EEA (published, closed )* **Policy Officer - Sustainable finance and innovative financing solutions** at European Commission (INTPA - International Partnerships) (published, closed )* **Project Manager - Procurement** at European Commission (FPI - Foreign Policy Instruments) (published, closed )* **Programme and Investment Officer** at European Commission (INTPA - International Partnerships) (published, closed )Pattern recognition matters here: recruiters at the same Directorate-General often re-advertise nearly identical profiles every six to nine months, so candidates who miss one window can typically position for the next one. Browse the live catalog: all FGIV openings, other vacancies at F4E.## Career trajectoryCareer progression for FGIV staff is governed by Articles 44 to 46 of the Staff Regulations (consolidated text on EUR-Lex) and Annex IB on the promotion procedure. Step increases are automatic every two years (Art. 44); grade promotion is competitive, based on the appraisal exercise (Art. 45) and the Career Development Review. For roles at F4E, within Function Group IV the move from grade 13 to grade 16 takes roughly nine to twelve years; reclassification to a Temporary Agent or AD post is the longer-term ladder. Article 46 governs the classification at recruitment, which sets the starting step within the grade (usually step 1 for external recruits without prior EU service, step 2 or 3 where relevant professional experience is recognised).Mobility within the institutions is encouraged via the inter-institutional and intra-institutional vacancy publication system: temporary agents who pass the probation period and reservists from EPSO laureate lists can typically apply to internal vacancies after one year of service. Lateral moves between Directorates-General reset the seniority clock for promotion only if the new post carries a different grade.## Language profileBeyond the formal language requirements stated in the vacancy notice, the day-to-day working languages at this employer are English and French in roughly equal measure, with German appearing in some technical files. Internal meetings and most policy drafting in Brussels run in English; French remains the preferred internal language in Luxembourg-based services and parts of DG TRADE.## Application cadenceF4E has not advertised another FGIV role with the same grade and subject signature in the past twenty-four months. This opening has rarely been seen on the EU Careers feed and may be the first such posting in our two-year window. Applicants who pass the eligibility checks should not assume the same profile will reopen on a predictable cadence.Visit the official Fusion for Energy websiteApply on EU Careers**Source:** This job listing was sourced from the officialEU Careers portal (EPSO).First published: 17 July 2026.Salary estimate based on EU Staff Regulations.From the EU Jobs Alert guide **How to land a job at the EU institutions** A walkthrough of EPSO competitions, agency calls, and contract roles, written by our editor.
