The escalation of the war since February 2022 has caused severe damages to the increasingly fragile social and humanitarian situation in Ukraine.
One of the imminent needs for rehabilitation and recovery in Ukraine is effective and speedy debris removal and disposal with appropriate measures for mine/explosives, hazardous materials and environmental safety. The widespread presence of debris and damaged buildings/infrastructure are also severely impeding the return of residents as well as posing a risk to human health from such hazards are asbestos, hazardous waste and unstable buildings.
The large quantities of debris strewn in streets, open public spaces and on and plots will inhibit the safe return of residents, restart of businesses and public services.
UNDP is implementing demolition and debris management projects combined with hazardous material treatment and mine action initiatives. The goal of UNDP’s work is to enable the rehabilitation and reconstruction of infrastructures to support the resilient recovery of war-affected communities in Ukraine, ensuring safe and sound environment, free from dangerous and hazardous materials.
To this end, UNDP is recruiting Engineers to ensure the effective and timely implementation of debris removal and management work in accordance with the guidance of the Debris Removal Analyst, Debris Management Specialist and the Head of Debris Management Unit, under overall direction of the Project Manager. The incumbent will also provide advisory support and supervision to ensure the quality and efficiency of demolition and debris management works for relevant projects under Energy and Environment pillar.
The Engineer will ensure that all the prescriptions and plans of demolition and debris management projects, combined with mine action initiatives and material recycling campaigns are implemented in accordance with guidance provided by the Engineering Analyst, Debris Management Specialist and the Head of Debris Management Unit, under overall direction of the Project Manager.
The incumbent will also provide advisory and supervision to ensure the quality and efficiency of the demolition and debris management works.
The incumbent will promote UNDP’s mandate as a gender-responsive organization with zero tolerance to any kind of discriminatory and abusive behaviour, including sexual harassment, sexual exploitation and abuse.
