On April 25, 2015, a 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck central Nepal with devastating widespread damage and loss of life. According to the Government of Nepal (GON)’s Post Disaster Needs Assessment (PDNA), over 9,000 people lost their lives and over 23,000 people sustained injuries from collapsed buildings and/or landslides. Over 1,227 health facilities were destroyed while an estimated 8,200 public schools were affected. USAID/Nepal has determined through discussions with the GON and other development partners that some of the greatest needs for reconstruction assistance are in the health and education sectors. CDM is currently seeking qualified Deputy Chief of Party and Senior Civil Engineer (DCOP) candidates with strong program management and administration skills to work for CDM Smith on an anticipated USAID opportunity to provide professional architecture and engineering services in support of earthquake reconstruction projects to be carried out under the USAID/Nepal Disaster Risk Reduction, Resilience, and Reconstruction (DR4) Office. USAID/Nepal will support the GON and earthquake-affected communities to plan, manage, and monitor reconstruction activities, while working with regional partners to strengthen disaster risk management institutions, policies, and systems. Job Responsibilities: The DCOP is primarily responsible for overseeing the Architect-Engineer design effort. In addition, s/he will be responsible for mobilizing different experts, such as geologists, environmentalists, structural engineers, and other required experts for site selection, preparation of designs or adaptation of government approved designs, and provide design change support during construction, when and if necessary. |
