I. Organizational Context and Scope

In the 2022 Monsoon Pakistan experienced an unprecedented amount of rainfall resulting in mega flooding estimating around one-third of the country to be submerged in water. In other estimates, more than 33 million people have been impacted by the monsoon floods in the country since mid-June. The areas that have sustained the most severe damage are the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Baluchistan, and Sindh provinces. Sindh province was especially hard hit. To date, 72 districts across Pakistan have been declared ‘calamity hit’ by the Government. The Community Resilience Activity-North (CRA-North) Project is designed to support community-level resilience development, conflict prevention activities, and flood response programming (where applicable) within Khyber, Kurram, North Waziristan; Orakzai, and Swat Districts, with the potential for expansion into Sindh and Balochistan province; while also focused on addressing the role of Climate Change and the nexus between Climate, Instability, Community Resilience & Disaster Risk Reduction. CRA-North will pursue a multi-disciplinary and community participatory approach and will work in close coordination with the Government of Pakistan (GOP) and Project Stakeholders at the regional and district level. The Swat District Site Engineer will be tasked with supporting CRA-North’s focus to ‘build back better’ reducing vulnerabilities and increasing community resilience. Under the general guidance of the Chief of the Party, overall supervision of the Deputy Chief of the Party and Regional Team Leader; and the direct supervision of the Quality Assurance/ Quality Control Officer and Swat District Team Leader, the Swat District Site Engineer will provide technical and engineering support to CRA-North’s overall project objectives through community-based physical infrastructure interventions.
