Vacancy: Construction Engineer
Background
Background
Indonesia faces an extreme quantity and severity of hazards and disasters including earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes, landslides, flooding, droughts, and storm surges. Climate change is exacerbating many of these hazards and causing new ones such as sea level rise.
The effects of these hazards take a great toll on communities, the economy, and the environment. However, cost effective opportunities exist for strengthening resiliency such as disaster preparedness planning and mitigation measures. With its sound Disaster Management Law, existing National Adaptation Programme of Action – Climate Change, and a robust culture of civil society, Indonesia is in a strong position to develop innovative solutions to the intersecting problems caused by disasters and the increasingly urban and peri-urban landscape where thousands of people work in factories. The critical need is to link the political will at the national level, with institutional capacity among provincial and district governments, civil society organizations, and the private sector. While at the same time, resiliency activities must utilise local knowledge and organisational potential of vulnerable urban and peri-urban communities themselves.
There are some steps to meet the goal: develop community based disaster preparedness team (DPT), conduct vulnerability and capacity assessment (VCA) and risk mapping and produce local resilience action (LRAP) plan. There are some construction projects to support community action plan on DRR such as building development, river normalization etc. Construction engineer is essential to measure the building materials on project sites as well as to ensure the quality and quantity building materials. He/she also should be able to measure the volume of mud or water in the river for river normalization projects.
Project area spreads in 9 different locations:
