DanChurchAid (DCA) invites applications for an experienced IEDD Technical Advisor for our Syria Programme within. This is a non-family position based in North East Syria (NES), with entry point through and frequent travel to Iraq.
The DCA Syria programme is a growing programme with a 7-year footprint in NES. The activities are wide-ranging and include risk education, survey, clearance of explosive hazards, cash transfers, vocational training, shelter rehabilitation, NFI distribution, psychosocial support and early recovery.
The main responsibility of the EOD/IEDD Technical Advisor is to conduct explosive hazard clearance activities; train, manage, mentor and supervise search and clearance national teams in Syria. You will work in a potentially hostile and arduous environment, where there is a need to demonstrate a calm, positive and self-motivated attitude. Conditions such as these require a level head, attention to detail, and an understanding of the humanitarian INGO context. The Technical Advisor (TA) for the DCA Syria Programme, will report directly to the HMA Operations Manager (OM).
