Construction Engineer Needed to Join Team to Haiti

Six months to the day after a powerful 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck Haiti, CoAid is still committed to sending healing and restoration to the country.

Right now, we have need for a construction engineer with many years professional experience to join a CoAid needs assessment team to travel to Haiti sometime late August or early September. You must have specific experience with earthquake/hurricane proof construction using concrete.

• Who can volunteer? A professional with many years experience with large concrete buildings, with particular knowledge and experience of earthquake and hurricane proof construction techniques. Must be a team player. Good spoken and written communication skills. Current passport. Good health and level of fitness. Ability to speak French would be an asset, but not required.
• How much time will it take? We plan to be in Haiti for no more than 1 week.
  
• Are there any special requirements? The individual will be expected to write a detailed report with their recommendations for construction.
• Is there an age requirement? No, but experience is important.
• Will expenses be paid? To be decided.
• Anything else? This may result in a short-term paid assignment in Haiti for the right person.

Please email us using the contact page if you're interested in this volunteer position. Please include your full name, email address and a day-time telephone number we can call you on.
