Responsibilities & Context

Job Summary:

CARE is one of the world’s leading international humanitarian and development organizations, committed to helping people in poor communities improve their lives and alleviate poverty. Founded in 1945, CARE is working with over 121 countries to fight global poverty and marginalization. CARE has been active in Bangladesh since 1949 and is one of the largest programs in CARE confederation. Women and girls are at the core of all CARE programs because they represent half of the marginalized group, and it is not possible to overcome poverty until all people have equal rights and opportunities. CARE Bangladesh works to implement programs with long-term impacts that result in sustainable changes for the extreme poor and marginalized communities.

According to the ISCG Situation Report published on 27 Jan 2018, the violence in Rakhine State which began on 25 August 2017 has driven an estimated 0.68 Million Myanmar citizen across the border into Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh. The speed and scale of the influx has resulted in a critical humanitarian emergency. The people who have arrived in Bangladesh since 25 August came with very few possessions. They are now reliant on humanitarian assistance for food, and other life-saving needs.

The forcedly displaced Myanmar citizen (known as Rohingya) in Cox’s Bazar is highly vulnerable, having fled conflict and experienced severe trauma, and now living in extremely difficult conditions. Population movements within Cox’s Bazar remain fluid, with increasing concentration in Ukhia, where the Government has allocated 2,000 acres for establishing a new camp to house them. People arrived at the new site before infrastructure and services could be established. Humanitarian partners are now building necessary infrastructure in challenging conditions, with extremely limited space. The new cumulative arrival currently stands at 688,000 as of 27 January, according to IOM Needs and Population Monitoring (NPM) Baseline survey. This includes 585,000 arrivals in Kutupalong Expansion Site plus 237,000 arrivals in other settlements and camps and 79,000 arrivals living in host communities.

The WASH Technical Manager is responsible for strengthening the technical capacity of the Infrastructure Officers, Field Engineers, Project Officers (POs), the Field Facilitators (FFs) and other peer level staff in the Implementation of WASH components in Myanmar Refugee camp in Cox’s Bazar District under CI supported Program.
