- Inspire and mobilise a global community in engineering for social change.
The overarching vision for EWB's International Program is for everyone to have access to the services they need to lead a life of opportunity, free from poverty. We aim to achieve this by supporting and nurturing the movement of skilled humanitarian engineers across the region.
EWB's International Program fosters long-term cross-sectoral partnerships with community organisations, educational institutions and the wider engineering and technical sector. We support long term Field Professional placements and projects focused on building individual, organisational and sector-wide capacity through mentorship, knowledge sharing and training. Currently, our team consists of 15+ Australian, New Zealand and local technical professionals and we have seconded over 150 technical professionals to work with EWB's community partners over the past 12 years.
EWB seeks a proactive and enthusiastic multitasker with demonstrated skills and experience in international development program systems and processes, project coordination and/or governance to support EWB's International Program.
You will be the engine room of the international team. With oversight from EWB's Director of International Programs, and working closely with the International Program Coordinator, the broader IDP and EWB staff team, you'll ensure our team are effectively supported with the right systems, processes, principles and compliance checks in place. As you strengthen the International Program systems, you will also seek ways to support and build the capacity of the whole organisation in systems and policies development.
Your enthusiastic, 'doer' attitude is what matters most. You are passionate about organisational development and governance, and developing appropriate systems and processes to deliver quality programs and measure our impact. You want to see people succeed, and love supporting them to do so.
High degree of administrative and organisational skills and ability to work under pressure – a keen eye for detail a must!
