Do you want to make a positive difference for the future of people and our common home, Earth? Working with WWF could be the opportunity of a lifetime.
Around the world, people are waking up to the growing crisis of nature loss. They are increasingly realizing that nature is our lifeline. No one will be spared the consequences of its disappearance. At WWF, we are helping to address this enormous global challenge.
Our staff come from diverse backgrounds and possess a wide range of skills, from human resources and finance to advocacy and conservation science. We welcome applications from anyone who believes they can help us create a better future for people and wildlife.
What we do:
We are an independent conservation organization working to preserve the natural world for the benefit of people and wildlife. Whether individuals, communities, businesses, or governments, we are part of a growing coalition calling on world leaders to put nature on the path to recovery by 2030. Together, we seek to protect and restore natural habitats, halt the mass extinction of wild flora and fauna, and ensure that our production and consumption patterns are sustainable.
1. CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVES
As part of the implementation of several projects in the different areas of implementation/intervention of WWF (Campo, Mintom, Mambélé, Ndongo…), construction and/or renovation work is planned which requires expertise in terms of design, evaluation and monitoring.
To this end, in order to ensure efficient implementation of construction activities, it is appropriate to seek external expertise specializing in the design, implementation and monitoring of construction work financed by WWF Cameroon through its various donors.
Among other objectives, we can highlight:
-
Technical expertise, compliance and quality
The consultant(s) bring sharp expertise in architectural and technical design, ensuring that the plans comply with current standards and regulations while reducing the risks of defects and non-compliance.
-
Cost Optimization
Thanks to their experience, consultants can offer innovative solutions that reduce costs while maintaining the quality of work.
-
Rigorous monitoring
The presence of a consultant on site ensures constant monitoring of the progress of the work, allowing problems to be quickly identified and adjustments to be made if necessary.
-
Skills Transfer
Collaborating with a consultant also allows for the training and strengthening of the skills of local teams, thus ensuring greater long-term autonomy.
