PROJECT
Integrated Shelter, Food Security and Livelihoods Support for Safe, Dignified and Sustainable Return in Abul Thohur (Idleb) and Madiq Castle (Hama)
DUTY STATION
Idlib, Syria, with regular field visits to Abul Thohur and Madiq Castle
ABOUT THE PROJECT
IHH is implementing an integrated humanitarian and early-recovery project funded by the OCHA Syria Humanitarian Fund (SHF), supporting safe, dignified and sustainable return in Abul Thohur, Idleb Governorate, and Madiq Castle, Hama Governorate.
The project combines shelter rehabilitation, winterization and Core NFI assistance, cash assistance for food, bakery rehabilitation and subsidized bread provision, and agricultural and irrigation-related interventions. The Field Engineer will contribute specifically to the shelter rehabilitation and FSAL components.
JOB SUMMARY
IHH is seeking two Field Engineers to support the technical assessment, planning, implementation, supervision and verification of shelter rehabilitation activities under the project.
The positions focus on 150 conflict-damaged houses: 100 moderately damaged houses supported through Cash for Shelter and 50 heavily damaged but technically repairable houses rehabilitated through a contractor-led modality.
The Field Engineers will conduct household-level technical assessments, prepare Bills of Quantities (BoQs) and technical documentation, monitor rehabilitation works, verify quantities and quality, support Housing, Land and Property (HLP) due diligence, and maintain complete records in coordination with the Project Manager and field teams.
Where explosive-ordnance contamination is a concern, confirm that required site-safety checks and relevant risk-education measures have been completed in coordination with designated actors before works begin.
Report unsafe conditions, serious technical risks, safeguarding concerns and incidents through established IHH procedures.
Comply with IHH’s Code of Conduct, safeguarding requirements, Prevention of Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (PSEA) procedures and confidentiality standards.

Explain approved technical scopes and requirements clearly to beneficiaries and contractors and report changes in site conditions promptly.
Prepare regular technical updates covering assessments, BoQs, inspections, verified quantities, implementation progress and outstanding issues.
Provide technical verification and supporting documentation for completed works to inform payment and financial-control procedures.
Maintain up-to-date electronic and hard-copy records for each housing unit and contribute technical information to project reports, monitoring and audits.
Promptly escalate suspected irregularities, quality concerns, deviations from approved procedures and other significant risks.
