EORE/NTS Team leader
Empowering People for Sustainable Solutions (EPSS) ,About This Role
This is a field-based coordination role focused on leading explosive ordnance risk education and non-technical survey teams in a post-conflict zone. It suits someone with early-career experience in community safety, disaster risk management, or humanitarian response who is ready to supervise ground operations. The organization is a young Ethiopian NGO partnering with an international mine action group, so the role blends local context knowledge with global safety standards.
What the Requirements Say About This Role
The position seeks a candidate who combines practical field experience with basic leadership ability, typically demonstrated through 1–3 years in community-based risk reduction or similar work. The requirements imply the employer values hands-on knowledge of explosive hazards in conflict-affected areas, not just academic credentials. Strong communication and team management skills are essential, as the role involves coordinating teams and engaging with vulnerable communities directly.
How to Approach This Application
Emphasize any direct experience with mine risk education, non-technical survey, or community sensitization in Tigray or similar regions. Highlight specific examples of leading small teams, conducting field assessments, or adapting safety messaging to local contexts. The employer likely prioritizes candidates who understand the cultural and security dynamics of Central Zone Tigray, so demonstrate local knowledge and a commitment to working in this challenging environment.
Who This Role Suits
This role is best suited for an early-career professional with field experience in humanitarian mine action or community safety who is ready for a supervisory position. Competition may be moderate given the specialized nature of the work and the partnership with an established international organization.
