About this opportunity
The starting salary package for this position is £70,324 GBP / approx. $95,500 USD including all allowances. About MAG: MAG (Mines Advisory Group) is an international humanitarian organisation based in Manchester, UK, and working in 32 countries. We remove landmines and unexploded ordnance to release safe and productive land for communities, and work to reduce the threat of armed violence by supporting governments to safely manage weapons and ammunition. In 1997, MAG was a co-recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize for our work campaigning for the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention. About the role: Our Technical Field Managers are the core of our work and actively manage and lead our teams of locally recruited staff to safely implement our life saving IED, mine and BAC clearance and EOD operations. Reporting to the Standards and Training Manager, you will assist the leadership and management of the Standards and Training team. You will develop and deliver training management packages across all areas of land release, operational management, and technical EOD competencies, in compliance with MAG’s standard operating procedures, mission, vision, and mandate. You will also assist senior technical management in programme to develop and implement comprehensive Quality Management Systems across all areas of technical operation in order to maintain safety, improve standards, and promote best practice. You will ensure that in-depth and up-to-date knowledge of explosive ordnance is maintained in programme and communicated to all technical staff, and you will also carry out regular monitoring visits of operational activities as directed by senior technical management in programme. Roles are in remote areas, working in challenging contexts away from home comforts, but the life-saving impact the work has on local communities is very real. About the Syria programme: MAG has been responding to the Syria crisis since 2013, working to support development by finding and destroying the explosive remnants of war so that communities can raise their families and pursue their livelihoods in a safe and secure environment, free from fear of death or injury. In addition to our current programme in the North East, we are expanding our life-saving initiatives further throughout Syria. You will join our growing team to support across all of Syria, based on where and how opportunities arise in the future.
