The deterioration of the security and humanitarian situation in Syria has forced hundreds of thousands of Syrians to flee and seek refuge in neighboring countries, including Jordan, placing a considerable burden on local Jordanian host communities and their basic social and economic services. Crowding effects in the local market, in particular with regards to housing and labour, are widely reported in the Northern governorates as is the pressure on basic service delivery, especially solid waste management, where municipalities are unable to meet the demands. In addition, a growing feeling of unfairness and exclusion are emerging among Jordanians, especially the poorer and more vulnerable groups.

One of the major issues faced at the regional level is solid waste management and treatment, and UNDP will provide support to the Joint Services Council in the Northern governorate of Irbid and at North Shouneh, to improve solid waste management at the North Shouneh Old dump site site while offering durable solutions for improvement of social service delivery to the affected populations through ensuring that the assistance provided in the current context complements, governmental development efforts.

The project is an integral part of the overall programme framework “Mitigating the impact of the Syrian refugee crisis on Jordanian vulnerable host communities”, signed by UNDP and the Government of Jordan.

UNDP is planned to support, rehabilitate and upgrade the infrastructures of North Shouneh Solid Waste Transfer Station and its facilities, and the design of new uards, sorting facility with equipment and new weighing bridge. UNDP therefore requires the services of a Design Engineer to assist the Project Management Unit (PMU) through the design of these components.

TheDesign Engineer is to serve:

  • Under the overall supervision of the Socio-Economic Portfolio Manager;
  • Under the supervision of UNDP's Local Governance Specialist of the Project;
  • Under the direct supervision of UNDP Construction Manager and Munlti Sectoral Environmental Specialist;
  • In coordination with technical supervision of the Project Management Unit of the Ministry of Municipal Affairs (MoMA);
  • In coordination (as needed) with the members of the SWM Technical Committee (Ministerial).

Technical and financial proposals along with CV & 3 references should be submitted, and without such will not be considered. 

(Only Short Listed Candidates will be contacted).
