On behalf of the STSP, KFSU now invites eligible individuals (“Consultants”) to indicate their interest in providing the Services for one (1) full-time Sanitation Engineer.

The initial duration of the consulting assignment is full time for twenty-four (24) months with probationary period of six (6) months. The consultant will serve as an Engineer for the first year and may have the advantage to take on the Deputy Project Manager’s (DPM) role moving forward subject to performance review, and availability of funds, though he/she will still need to apply for the DPM position when re-advertised.
The Qualification, Skills and Experience criteria for selecting the Consultant are:
- Essential:
