East Meets West is seeking to fill 1 position with highly qualified
Vietnamese National candidate:

 


1 Program Officer (Based in Ho Chi Minh City) for the 


Clean Water and Sanitation Program, Southern Region, Ho Chi Minh Office 


 

Main Tasks/Responsibilities:

 

1.      Engineering Design Support:

-                                                        Work with EMWF
design team and advisors to develop best practice design for water and
sanitation projects.   

-                                                        Collaborate with
internal EMWF staff to facilitate effective communication between offices.

-                                                        Some minor design
may be required depending on the project officers ability, however it is
expected that over time the skill level of the P.O. will develop so that
more independent design decisions will be able to be made, especially in the
field.

-                                                        Minor drafting
tasks using Autocad.

2.      Field Work:  

-                                                        Undertake site
visits to inspect quality of work and adherence to project scope. 

-                                                        Communicate project

-                                                        Communicate changes
and problems of projects to other Water team members.

-                                                        Some of the field
work will be undertaken alone so ability to work independently is important.

-                                                        Manage project
partner expectations through effective communication and good relationship
building.

-                                                        Work with EMWF and
external designers to improve the quality of EMWF projects.

-                                                        Prepare site visit
reports and project close out reports.

-                                                        Accompany EMWF
staff and advisors on field trips, translating where necessary.

-                                                        Undertake screening
interviews with prospective project partners.

-                                                        Undertake customer
satisfaction surveys with rural community households.

3.      Program Management:

-                                                        Ensure project
documentation is filled in conjunction with HCMC office requirements.  

-                                                        Work with the
senior project officer and Clean Water advisor to ensure project schedules
