Старший/ша консультант/ка з розвитку спроможності АРР у сфері технічного нагляду

Location: Hybrid, mostly remote work with regular visits to construction sites in UCORD partner oblasts (Khmelnytskyi, Odesa, Sumy, Ternopil, Vinnytsia, Volyn) 

Expected start date: November 15, 2025

Duration of assignment: November 15, 2025 – November 01, 2026

Background

Ukraine’s Cohesion and Regional Development project, UCORD, is implemented with support of Switzerland via the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation, by NIRAS Sweden AB. 

UCORD aims for citizens, businesses, and public authorities to contribute and equally benefit from recovery actions and coherent regional development that fosters improved quality of life, resilience, peace, and social cohesion in Ukraine. The project currently supports six pilot oblasts of Ukraine: Khmelnytskyi, Sumy, Ternopil, Vinnytsia, Volyn, and Odesa oblasts, targeting capacity development and awareness-raising initiatives throughout the country. UCORD consists of three components: 

• Component 1 embeds regional policy development in Ukraine by supporting and strengthening Regional Development Agencies (RDAs) in pilot oblasts.
• Component 2 aims to improve public service delivery in the WASAW (water supply, sanitation, and waste management) sector, with a focus on environmental sustainability.
• Component 3 aims to construct social cohesion through culture, dialogue, and creative industries. 

Objective and Context

The primary objective of this assignment is to strengthen the capacity of the RDA-led partnership to plan, manage, and oversee high-quality water and sanitation infrastructure projects. All supervision and quality assurance tasks will be framed as opportunities for applied learning ensuring that RDAs develop the skills to manage similar projects independently in the future. Independent engineering quality assurance services will complement this by ensuring timely, comprehensive and technically sound delivery of the UCORD flagship projects. 

The Senior Engineer will have a strategic role, responsible for leading the needs analysis, designing and guiding the capacity building programme, coordinating the work of the Engineers, producing analytical notes and consolidating the lessons learnt into a final learning report. The senior engineer will ensure the supervision and verification carried out by the engineers is used as a structured process of mentoring and skills transfer for RDA staff, so that technical assurance directly contributes to long term institutional capacity.
