Job Type: Contractual
Workplace Type: Full-time
Job ID: IJOB202664424
The Earth Society (TES) is a youth-centric NGO working on climate action, green skills development, sustainable entrepreneurship, and advocacy in Bangladesh. Through its programmes, TES weaves together capacity building, ecosystem restoration, and livelihood development to nurture an inclusive ecosystem of resilience and regeneration.
Project Description
LifeTree Bangladesh is a regenerative agroforestry and reforestation initiative implemented by The Earth Society, in partnership with Sundori Agro and Mother Trees, and funded by Ecosia. The project facilitates the plantation of climate-resilient trees through homestead agroforestry, live fencing, and social forestry across the coastal districts of Khulna and Bagerhat, along the ecological buffer zone of the Sundarbans — helping restore degraded landscapes, strengthen climate resilience, and build sustainable livelihoods for coastal communities.
Job Purpose
The Technical Specialist is the overall technical lead for all implementation under the LifeTree Bangladesh – Sundarbans project, covering both the social forestry/mangrove restoration component and the homestead agroforestry (farmer) component.
The Technical Specialist holds overall responsibility for the technical integrity of the project's training approach, including developing and adapting training curricula and materials. The Technical Specialist supervises and trains and builds the technical capacity of the three Technical Officers, and works jointly with the Technical Officers to train Field Technicians — who in turn train farmers, with ongoing support and oversight from the Technical Officers and Technical Specialist.
The Technical Specialist provides higher-level technical oversight and guidance across all field-level activities, spot-checks the quality of monitoring data and nursery/seed bank records collected primarily by Field Technicians and reviewed by Technical Officers, and engages directly on technically complex issues — including adapting and developing training materials, leading training of trainer workshops, supporting social forestry implementation and providing inputs for the technical training for nursery entrepreneurs and other small business participants — as needed.
