The Organisation

The Ministry of Education and Training (MoET), is responsible for delivering the education aspects of the Millennium Development Goals and international agreements such as Education for All and respect for the

rights of children.

The Education sector is particularly vulnerable to natural disasters given that schools are located across the entire country, in almost every village and town, and every natural disaster has the potential to impact those schools. The infrastructure vulnerability is magnified by three main legacy issues: 1. Many schools have been constructed using community resources, and as such may not be specifically built to the required standards, 2. A lack of maintenance of school infrastructure results in deterioration and weakening of the building structures, and 3. MoET has a shortage of skilled personnel to implement infrastructure and asset management, to strengthen systems to manage the other legacy issues.

In order to address Item 3, an infrastructure Project Management Unit (PMU) is to be established within the MoET Asset Management Unit to assist with the planning, procurement and execution of recovery and capital works projects.

The Position

The Penama Province Building Supervisor will work in the Project Management Unit (PMU) embedded within the Ministry of Education Directorate of Finance and Administration.

The Building Supervisor will focus on education infrastructure recovery and projects within Penama Province.
