  1. Assignment

ACTED is launching a national level three-year EU-MADAD funded program with multiple NGO partners (WW-GVC, Solidarites International, LebRelief, ACF and others) and government stakeholders (Ministries, four Regional Water Establishments) to improve water service delivery and governance in Lebanon. Within this program, partners will support all four Water Establishments to improve service delivery through the provision of capacity building, staff, equipment, supplies and works under the Establishment-Led Service Improvement and Cost Recovery (ELSICR) Modality.

Within this framework, ACTED seeks to recruit one Hydraulic Engineer (HE) to support ELSICR implementation in the field, as well as to provide technical supervision and capacity building to technical staff at local offices of the Beirut and Mount Lebanon Water Establishment (EBML WE). The HE will work closely with other engineers, technicians, and managers at EBMLWE as well as staff from the MADAD funded Water Governance Program. The Hydraulic Engineer will be under the supervision of the WASH Projects Coordinator, and on a day-to-day basis, the HE will coordinate directly with the Senior Hydraulic Engineer hosted by WW-GVC who will provide them with technical advisory and oversight, capacity building, and backstopping support.
