MAG seeks to recruit a technical field manager – AMD, Gambia

About MAG in Gambia :

The total package for this position is £59,304 per annum (c. USD $79,150) including salary and all allowances.

MAG supports the development of countries emerging from conflict by finding and destroying the explosive remnants of war, so communities can raise their families and pursue their livelihoods in a safe and secure environment, free from fear of death or injury.  One predominate area of focus in MAG’s programmes across West Africa is Arms Management and Destruction (AMD), working with national defence and security authorities toward the safe storage management as well as destruction of weapons and munitions. Our AMD operations are focused on armoury construction, design and management, weapons marking and management, assessment of needs and bulk demolitions. Gambia is a new project for MAG. Following recent assessments in country MAG will be working with partners (which include the military and government) across a number of AMD activities.

About the role :

Our Technical Field Managers are the core of our work. MAG’s TFMs are responsible for the day-to-day management of all technical interventions and as well as managing administration, finance, procurement, reporting and planning.

The role in Gambia will focus on all aspects of AMD work and will also involve working with partners to improve the capacity of national security forces. This is part of a bigger regional project in West Africa. The TFM in Gambia will be the only MAG technical member of staff in country, responsible for implementing the project, working closely with MAG’s Regional Representative managing the project.

About you :

The successful candidate must be EOD Level 3+ qualified and will be qualified and experienced in AMD work and bulk demolitions. However, we will also consider applications from candidates who have gained the relevant technical skills within the military, providing they are qualified to EOD Level 3 standards. Such candidates should have a keen interest and willingness to learn the skills needed for AMD work and MAG will provide on the job training where required.

Successful candidates will need excellent diplomacy and liaison skills to effectively build relationships with partners, local authorities and security forces. It is also crucial that the candidate is self-reliant and holds a high level of initiative. Fluent written and spoken English language skills are essential. Finally, all candidates must be willing to take on the challenges of working in the developing world and working as part of a flexible and committed team, to save lives in communities that need it most.
