- Description
- While Ukraine�s number one, immediate priority is - and must be - to win the war with Russia, Ukraine must also focus on building a plan for recovery and the means to reconstruct after the hostilities end. Since Ukraine�s independence, USAID has been one of its closest and most trusted development partners and has remained steadfast in its support for Ukraine when Russia launched its full-scale invasion. USAID�s influence has increased as programs and budget have grown exponentially. Ukraine faces many significant challenges in re-establishing the infrastructure that has been destroyed by the war with Russia, and in developing infrastructure for economic growth and recovery. With this consideration, USAID/Ukraine is seeking a Reconstruction and Recovery Advisor to join the Office of Critical Infrastructure (OCI). OCI has a dynamic portfolio including reconstruction and recovery policy and programming. OCI�s engineering and construction expertise has allowed it to play a prominent role within the US Government interagency as it considers the appropriate strategic policy and technical approach to advance and support Ukraine�s recovery and reconstruction. Individuals seeking to serve as an advisor must be subject matter on infrastructure development and public financing. The position requires an individual who demonstrates initiative and the ability to manage competing work priorities and the demonstrated ability to work effectively both independently and as a member of diverse teams. The position requires a professional with demonstrated leadership, team building and interpersonal skills. Ideally, the individual will have a broad knowledge of the U.S. Government experience at the technical and management level and excellent understanding of construction, quality control, and project management, as well as a strong familiarity with Federal Acquisition Regulations and respective assistance policies. The individual must have the ability to provide formal and informal leadership within a team, working effectively within and across agencies and stakeholders, to build consensus; judgment in planning and carrying out key functions as well as ability to adapt to uncertainty; ability to work within short timeframes; and adapt approaches as necessary; superior written and verbal communication skills; and ability to work effectively and constructively in a multicultural team under significant performance pressures. The individual should have a balanced knowledge of infrastructure management and program financing. They should have high energy and feel comfortable coordinating projects with government and private sector partners. Political acumen and knowledge of construction and contracting methodology will be a plus. Though neither advisor will immediately assume supervisory responsibilities upon assuming the position, both may assume supervisory responsibilities depending on funding recovery needs. The recovery and reconstruction advisor is a planning visionary. They understand Ukraine�s recovery challenges (estimated at $419 Billion USD) and can understand how USAID can leverage infrastructure engineering expertise to fast track economic and social recovery. This position will likely work across multiple sectors including - but not limited to - energy, transportation, health, education, housing, and municipal or other government infrastructure. A heavy emphasis will be placed on (1) strategic planning related to infrastructure priorities and barriers to infrastructure reconstruction, (2) attracting private investment and financing for infrastructure, (3) leveraging public investment from Ukrainian sources and international donors, and (4) coordinating planning and program implementation within the U.S. interagency, across Ukrainian government institutions, and with the international community. This will require the ability to work expertly across disciplines such planning, financing and investment, public and corporate governance, engineering and construction, and project management to advance infrastructure reconstruction from the project level up to the policy and enabling environments levels.
