About this opportunity
The starting salary package for this position is £76,524 GBP / approx. $103,900 USD including all allowances. This role is subject to funding. 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 Technical Operations Manager, you will conduct training and day to day assessment and monitoring of all staff carrying out technical operations, ensuring safe practice and building local capacity for humanitarian mine action activities. You will support the Technical Operations Manager in ensuring overall safe execution of all MAG technical activities across the country of operation. You will ensure effective communication and reporting, including representation of MAG to donors, implementing partners, local communities, and other agencies. 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.
