MISSION

Solidarités International is an international humanitarian organization which provides aid and assistance to victims of war or natural disaster. For over 30 years the association has focused on meeting three vital needs - water, food and shelter - by carrying out emergency programmes followed by longer-term reconstruction projects. Whilst fully respecting the assisted populations’ customs and culture, Solidarités International’s programmes are implemented through the joint expertise of around 180 expatriates and 1500 local managerial staff and employees.

Solidarités International is currently present in Africa (Central African Republic, South Sudan, Kenya, Somalia, Mali, Niger, Mauritania, Chad, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ivory Coast), in Asia (Afghanistan, Thailand, Bangladesh, Myanmar and Pakistan), in the Middle East (Syria and Lebanon) and in Haiti.

The conflict between Northern and Southern Sudan is known as the longest war in Africa. Six and half years after the signing of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) signed in Nairobi in January 2005, South Sudan became the youngest country in the World on July 9th 2011. A new highlight for a country familiar with extreme figures : among others, a challenging environment with only 60 km of asphalt road in a country bigger than France, a complex social environment with more than 60 ethnic groups and dialects and a high level of illiteracy. On a humanitarian point of view, the country can be characterized by the acute needs of its population in having access to basic services, due to the lack of infrastructure, and lack of qualified persons to run these structures (hospital, schools, etc.). These needs have been compounded by massive influxes of returnees from North to South Sudan, numbering an estimated 400,000 since October 2010. This is the reason why South Sudan is considered as one of the most challenging humanitarian country in the world.

Solidarités International (SI) currently implements 2 kinds of programs:

• Rural and semi-urban WaSH activities in three states in the North East part of the country: Jonglei, Upper Nile and Unity, targeting counties prone to receiving IDPs and/or returnees and prone to natural disaster (namely flooding). SI is also deeply involved in the coordination of the WaSH actors in Unity and Upper Nile States by being the State Focal Point for the WaSH cluster. Upper Nile and North Jonglei programs are operated out of Malakal, the Upper Nile State capital, while Unity State programs are administrated from an office in Bentiu, the Unity State capital.
• Emergency WaSH interventions in the camps welcoming Sudanese refugees in Upper Nile and Unity States (Yusuf Batil – Upper Nile State & in Unity State, Yida). These projects started respectively in June and July 2012, following the rapid assessments made by the WaSH Emergency, Preparedness and Response (EP&R) team that is in place since September 2011. The objective is to improve the basic living conditions for refugees and to mitigate the Hepatitis E outbreak in both Yida and Yusuf Batil. SI intends to extend its refugee response to a new camp, Ajuong, located in Unity State and aiming at relocating refugees from Yida camp.

Technical Field Manager - South Sudan

Exciting opportunity to join a progressive organisation in a key role and to help shape the future of mine action and human security programming in South Sudan and globally.

Background

Danish Demining Group (DDG) is the branch of the Danish Refugee Council (DRC) that focuses on human security programming. DDG and DRC have been present in South Sudan since 2006 and currently have operations in seven of ten states in the country. While initially DDG’s focus was on traditional Mine Action (MA) activities such as Explosive Ordinance Disposal and Mine Risk Education, DDG has developed an innovative and fast-expanding Armed Violence Reduction (AVR) programme

For an overview of the contamination in South Sudan, please refer to UNMAS South Sudan and http://unmas.org/southsudan/index.php/maps

By working in conjunction with the Danish Refugee Council, a combined vision has evolved in which integrated MA, AVR and general recovery and development services can be offered to communities and donors in support of nation-building efforts. Being a rights-based NGO and recognising the intense competition for funding, DDG aims to be at the forefront of people-centred humanitarian mine action, constantly looking for opportunities to be innovative, to demonstrate best practice and to ‘add value’.

DDG’s South Sudan programme is an exciting place to work, but it requires Technical Field Managers and other international staff who are flexible, in tune with capacity building approaches, interested in supporting other sectors (e.g. AVR) when needed, and supportive of agency-wide initiatives such as Gender, Age and Diversity and socio-economic Impact Monitoring. The Technical MA role in South Sudan is therefore more than just that of an ‘adviser’, but rather that of a ‘manager’.

Management

The South Sudan program has four Technical Field Managers (including this post) who all report to the Operations Manager. Team leaders and other field staff will report to designated Technical Field Managers for defined periods and deployments.

General Responsibilities

The Technical Field Manager has the primary function of training, monitoring and mentoring the national staff/teams under his/her responsibility. The purpose of this role is to develop the capacity and technical knowledge of the national staff within DDG. The objective of building technical knowledge and capacity within the national staff is to ensure that correct and safe MA practices are followed and sustainable supervision and management capacity is developed within the organisation.

It is important that the Technical Field Manager does not take over the tasks and responsibilities of the national staff under his/her supervision, but rather monitors and ensures that these tasks and responsibilities are carried out correctly, efficiently and effectively. The same is relevant for the capacity building of national authorities and agencies.

Operational Responsibilities

The Technical Field Manager will have direct responsibility and accountability for the operational assets allocated to him/her. These responsibilities cover:

a. Mine Action operations, including

i. Daily management and supervision of the operational activity.

ii. Planning, deployment and analysis of operational tasks, M&E and QA.

iii. Mentoring and training of staff.

iv. Ensuring adherence to SOPs and security measures.

v. Liaising with local authorities, mine action authorities and other organisations

b. Monitoring and supervision of the following functions for the specific field deployments:

i. Logistics and Finance, such as ensuring serviceability of equipment for assigned tasks and the usage of proper procedures and documentation in field requests.

ii. Admin and HR of the designated teams, including discipline and welfare, as well as identifying staff with potential for advancement.

iii. Reporting, such as Daily Situation Reports, QA reports, task-specific documentation as required by the SOPs and project reporting requirements

c. Other tasks as directed by the Operations Manager or Programme Manager.

Required qualifications

• Substantial, documented professional technical experience in mine action

• A minimum of EOD Level 3

• Comprehensive first aid

• Basic radio communication skills

• Strong administrative and organizational ability

• Excellent management and personnel skills – a calm and diplomatic disposition will be preferred
