Fixed term until April 2018.
The total salary package for this position is £31,200 - £33,720 per annum* including basic salary, cost of living allowance and Hardship allowance.
About MAG:
MAG saves lives and builds futures by working with others to reclaim land contaminated with the debris of conflict, to reduce the daily risk of death or injury for civilians, and to create safe and secure conditions for development. MAG shared the 1997 Nobel Peace Prize as a founding member of the International Campaign to Ban Landmines for our work to ban landmines. Our vision is a safe and secure future for men, women and children affected by armed violence and conflict.
About the DRC programme:
MAG has been working in DRC since 2004 and currently has a team of 6 expatriate staff and 30 national staff working in several provinces of DRC. MAG conducts a range of technical clearance activities, aimed at decreasing the risks posed by mines and unexploded ordnance, which were left scattered throughout the country during the war. As well as conducting technical clearance work, MAG delivers risk education to local communities and also works with national authorities, to improve the storage of weapons and destroy surplus stocks.
About the role:
The International Site Supervisors will actively manage and lead our teams of national staff to safely implement our life saving mine clearance and EOD projects. Roles can often be remote, working in challenging contexts away from home comforts, but the life-saving impact the work has on local communities is very real, and rewarding. This is a fantastic opportunity to be involved in MAG’s life-saving work on a day-to-day basis.
About you:
You must be qualified and experienced in leading teams involved in demining / EOD operations, with previous experience working for a similar organisation, either in the humanitarian or commercial sector. You must be willing to take on the challenges of working in the developing world, as part of a flexible and committed team, to save lives in communities which need it most. The ability to speak French is preferable but not essential.
