We are recruiting a Field Assistant to work as an intern on the project: Support Programme for Infrastructure Sector Strategies and Alternative Financing (SISSAF) in Beirut, Lebanon, for 3-6 months. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis.
Project Background
Political instability has slowed down the functioning of the key Lebanese institutions and is a major risk for the full release of international donor funds, which are needed to strengthen the economy and particularly the infrastructure sector.
The project aims at remedying the resulting fragmentation, duplication of efforts and loss of coherence of the current project approach in Lebanon by supporting the development and implementation of a Programme Based Approach (PBA) in the three main infrastructure sectors: energy, water and land transport.
The overall objectives of the project are to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of service delivery and financial sustainability in the Lebanese infrastructure sectors (energy, water and land transport) and to improve aid effectiveness provided to the Lebanese infrastructure sectors.
The SISSAF project will provide technical assistance and training support to two line Ministries (Ministry of Energy and Water, and Ministry of Public Works and Transport) and other central and local institutions involved in the management of infrastructure projects of the energy, water and land transport sectors.
Job Description
The Field Assistant will provide assistance to the SISSAF Secretariat in Beirut in the following areas:
Research relevant policies and best practice documents and collect relevant data for Lebanon in the transport and energy sectors

Other tasks as indicated
Expertise:
Excellent research and drafting skills are required, with excellent knowledge of English and French. We welcome applications from nationals of Lebanon.
Education:
The Field Assistant should have a university degree in energy studies, natural resource management or transport related studies. Knowledge of development assistance will be considered an asset.
The successful candidate will receive a stipend of €300 per month. For international postings, a stipend for flights and accommodation will be provided. The successful candidate will receive 2 weeks training in Vienna in preparation for the role.
