The National Resource Efficient and Cleaner Production Programme in
Indonesia is calling for expressions of interest from suitably qualified
Indonesian professionals for participation in a combined training and
demonstration programme in Resource Efficient and Cleaner Production
(RECP) with particular focus on application in metal products sectors.
The associate RECP assessors will receive intensive training in RECP
methods and techniques and will be coached in applying these in selected
metal products enterprises to qualify as RECP industry assessor.
The programme targets metal products industries in Central Java area
(Semarang, Magelang, Klaten, and possibly Tegal) and West Java area
(Cikarang and/or Karawang). These could include foundry, casting,
forming, machining, assembly, surface finishing and electroplating
operations for ferrous and/or non-ferrous metals.
Participating Associate Assessors will receive training in international
best practice methods and practices for conducting RECP assessments in
enterprises. Suitably qualified training participants will be offered an
opportunity to undertake RECP assessments in nominated companies under
the guidance of international experts. Upon successful completion of
such RECP assessments, they would qualify for Cleaner Production Award
for experts from the United Nations Industrial Development Organization
(UNIDO).
The training and demonstration programme takes place within the
framework of the Indonesian RECP Programme which is implemented by UNIDO
in partnership with the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of
Environment and Forestry and with funding support from the Government of
Switzerland. It is aimed at fostering the uptake of RECP methods,
practices, technologies and policies, through capacity building,
industry demonstrations, and policy advice. RECP is based on the
application of preventive environmental management and total
productivity concepts to manufacturing and other sectors, in order to
achieve efficient use of natural resources (materials, water and
energy), minimization of the generation of wastes and emissions, and
reduction of chemical and industrial risks.
Candidates for the Associate Assessors positions should have
demonstrable knowledge and industrial experience in industrial, process
and/or environmental engineering and/or production or business
management, and be familiar with the operation of small and medium
industries in Indonesia, preferably including metal products industries.
Researchers and lecturers with demonstrable interest and commitment to
act as industry assessors are also welcome to apply. Each associate
assessor is expected to execute RECP Assessments in metal products
industry with provisional workload of about 25 days over 6 months period
(tentatively 8 times visit to industries). English proficiency at
professional level is highly desired.
Expressions of interest, including brief professional profile or CV,
should be forwarded to r.vanberkel@unido.org as CTA with copy to Mr.
Moch Iqbal, National Programme Manager at m.iqbal@unido.org by no later
than September 13th, 2016.
