Nairobi, Nairobi Area, Kenya United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) Full time

Job Summary

The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) seeks a Construction Management Specialist to support the development and implementation of construction projects, ensuring compliance with programmatic and construction needs, eco-efficiency, and sustainability.


For two decades, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) has been helping make the world safer from drugs, organized crime, corruption and terrorism.

We are committed to achieving health, security and justice for all by tackling these threats and promoting peace and sustainable well-being as deterrents to them.

Because the scale of these problems is often too great for states to confront alone, UNODC offers practical assistance and encourages transnational approaches to action.

We do this in all regions of the world through our global programmes and network of field offices.

Responsibilities

  • Support the development of technical documents related to construction, renovations, and modernization of national police service college premises and training environment, ensuring compliance with programmatic and construction needs, eco-efficiency, and sustainability.
  • Verify the accuracy and completeness of technical documents, including design drawings, technical specifications, bills of quantities, and terms of reference.
  • Monitor and report potential delays and cost overruns, developing corrective actions to address these issues.
  • Support the monitoring of project construction work progress, ensuring timely completion and quality standards in line with the contract and project design.
  • Verify that work is consistent with project technical specifications and inform contracted Civil Engineers of any deviations, developing corrective actions to address these.
  • Assess the work activities of contractors, measuring and evaluating progress and completed work, and making recommendations to the Project Manager for progress and interim payments.
  • Assist in the preparation of risk assessments, method statements, checklists, permits, and other relevant documents related to Health, Safety, and Social Environment on site.
  • Support the oversight of dimensional control and site surveying works, engineering control of work implementation, and other related activities.
  • Maintain project documentation, including payment registers, variation registers, site safety inspection registers, site diaries, and other relevant documents.
  • Assist the Project Manager in the preparation of project/contract-related documentations, such as periodic progress reports, site monitoring reports, and stakeholder meeting minutes.
  • Compare changes to permissible variations and prepare notes to the file in support of the changes.
  • Assist in updating the Project quality register, issue register, risk register, and lessons learned log in the time frame stipulated by the Project's strategic documents.
  • Assist in providing training and knowledge transfer to national/contractor personnel on good construction and engineering practices, environmental management practices, and appropriate health and safety standards during construction.
  • Contribute to the collection and analysis of data, identification of trends or patterns, and provide draft insights through graphs, charts, tables, and reports using data visualization methods for data-driven planning, decision-making, presentation, and reporting.

Requirements

  • An advanced university degree (master's degree or equivalent) in Construction Management, Quantity Surveying, Civil Engineering, Project Management, or other relevant discipline is required.
  • A first-level university degree in similar fields in combination with two additional years of qualifying experience may be accepted in lieu of the advanced university degree.
  • A minimum of two years of progressively responsible professional experience, including relevant experience in managing programme/project activities in the area of construction management, engineering, and contract management environment, is required.
  • Knowledge of MS Project (or an alternative) is required.
  • Knowledge of CAD software (AutoCAD or an alternative) is required.
  • Experience in implementing works under complex quality, safety, and environmental management plans is desirable.
