Overview
Provide engineering support for the analysis of power generation facilities, power grids, and power supply infrastructure. Conduct assessments, provide technical advice for recovery plans, and support the preparation of project documentation.
Key Responsibilities
- Conduct an assessment of the status/needs of damaged power generation facilities and power grids, power supply and other energy infrastructure, and provide technical advice to determine a suitable plan and strategies for recovery/restoration.
- Review and analyze information/data on the context and baseline situation of targeted power grids facilities, power supply and other energy infrastructure.
- Identify priorities in areas of power generation facilities and other energy infrastructure restoration in consultation with relevant stakeholders.
- Provide technical support for the process of preparing a package of documents within the framework of this program.
- Analyze functionality of power generation and power grids facilities and specification of the materials proposed.
- Support procurement process of energy infrastructure by providing technical inputs, clarifying the Bidder’s queries of technical nature.
- Serve as part of the technical evaluation panel and provide complete assessment (qualification, technical and financial analysis) of the received offers.
- Monitor project implementation stages, with a focus on power grids and its supply, to ensure compliance with project deadlines and technical specifications.
- Identifying and documenting best practices and lessons learned in the development of power grids systems and infrastructure development.
- Contribute to the Programme/ Project regular reporting on progress for different stakeholders, including donors.
Required Experience
- Minimum of 2 years (with master’s degree) or 4 years (with bachelor’s degree) of progressively responsible experience in engineering, energy systems, infrastructure development, or a related area is required.
- Skills in the development of technical documentation, including technical specifications and performance schedules of energy systems, including power generation facilities, power grids and power supply, or relevant infrastructure projects.
- Knowledge of procedures for quality control procedures.
- Experience in working with Government, international financial institutions, other development partners, including EU, shall be an asset.
- Familiarity with national construction legislation, norms, and standards related to energy infrastructure, including power generation facilities and power grids and power supply systems, and safety regulations is desirable.
- Experience of working with municipalities and/or local and central authorities in recovery or energy rehabilitation projects/activities, as well as with economic development issues at the national and sub-national levels is an advantage.
Qualifications
- Advanced university degree (Master's degree or equivalent) in the field of Mechanical Engineering, Heat Supply, Energy Systems or other closely related fields; or
- A first university degree (Bachelor’s degree) in the above fields in combination of additional two years of qualifying relevant experience will be given due consideration in lieu of the advanced university degree.
