WASH Officer

In recent months there has been a substantial increase in the population in human mobility destined for the United States, crossing Mexico. At the border points of Ciudad Juárez, shelters are set up to accommodate and care for the migrant population, who are receiving families in extreme vulnerability with children and adolescents. The shelters, however, lack adequate infrastructure for water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) services, including toilets, sinks, and hygiene supplies. UNICEF Mexico is responding to the human mobility emergency in Ciudad Juárez, seeking to meet the basic needs of children and adolescents and their families, who are awaiting their immigration procedures.
The objective of this assignment is to be able to support the WASH program for the migration response on the northern border of Mexico with the United States, in Ciudad Juárez (state of Chihuahua). The officer will provide technical and administrative assistance in identifying water, sanitation, and hygiene needs in 20 migrant shelters, and will accompany the implementation and monitoring of actions, such as the construction or installation of infrastructure and capacity building for hygiene promotion and distribution of supplies and hygiene kits.
This will be done jointly with public institutions and civil society, in conjunction with the UNICEF field team, under the supervision of the Chief Field Office (NO-3) in Ciudad Juárez, with technical supervision of the WASH Specialist (P-3) in the Mexico Country Office.
The WASH Officer provides professional technical, operational and administrative assistance throughout the WASH programming process, through the application of theoretical and practical technical skills in researching, collecting, analyzing and presenting programme information while learning organizational rules, regulations and procedures to support the development, implementation and monitoring of the WASH output results of the Country Programme.
