United Nations Office for Project Services UNOPS Training Coordinator Job in Nigeria

11 Nov 2010 - The United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS) the organization created to implement projects for the United Nations system has announced that it seeks to employ a Training & Workshop Coordination Consultant for its project in Nigeria. PHCN has been unable to provide Nigerians with quality, uninterrupted public power supply.

PHCN’s incapacity has had a negative impact on economic growth and the quality of life of the Nigerian citizen. Several initiatives have been launched to address the weakness of PHCN. UNOPS is supporting the implementation of the twinning programme in the Oil and Gas Sector with the aim of strengthening the training and capacity building support to relevant Government Institution (s) and targeted companies in the energy sector. It focuses on capacity building through training of the PHCN in Nigeria.

The programme, supported through the World Bank funding, will be implemented with selected participants from the power companies/institutions and be exposed to best practices experience in the field of Power Generation, Transmission, and Distribution..

It is in light that UNOPS seeks to recruit a Training & Workshop Coordination Consultant to effectively plan, organize and coordinate all areas of training and organization of relevant workshops.

Duty station will be Abuja and Lagos for a duration of 4 months (with a possibility of renewal).

Required Selection Criterion stated includes:

- Advanced university degree in social sciences, combined with experience in participatory communication, participatory research, training and impact evaluation.
- At least 2 years in a corporate technical learning function in a management capacity.
- Track record of at least three relevant assignments (trainings or workshop consultancy and advisory services) as a reliable expert/consultant in the field of capacity building is essential;
- Knowledge in the Energy and power sector will be an added advantage
 

Opinion of this Job position

The requirements clearly indicate that the job is for an experienced person with organizational ability and experience. It isn’t a job for newcomers and fresh graduates. Are you somebody who has been involved in managing learning for corporate organizations? Ideally the person should be one who is comfortable organizing training and educational events, and who is also knowledgeable and experienced in related activities in Nigeria’s energy and power sector.

Assessing the job criteria in the UNOPS announcement shows that there is an assumption that the candidate will have experience in managing projects since the training assignments are also project assignments. The job specifications also indicate that the candidate must also have the ability to network and liaise effectively with partnering organizations and their officials. The candidate should also be comfortable working with an international organization. The opportunity is short term as the initial job duration is 4 months with the possibility of renewal.

Closing Date November 18, 2010 (5pm)
