Local recruitment: Individual Critical Infrastructure Specialist (Indonesia nationals)

Expertise: Coastal Engineering, Flood Risk Management, Oceanography
Expertise Group: Engineering

Consultant Source: National
TOR Keywords: Coastal Engineering, Flood Risk Management, Oceanography

Objective and Purpose of the Assignment

The principal purpose of the Critical Infrastructure Specialist’s engagement is to produce a rapid,
spatially explicit inventory of key public and economic infrastructure and to conduct a preliminary
assessment of its exposure to identified flood hazards. This specialist’s analysis will quantify the
physical assets at risk, serving as a critical input for the study’s overall vulnerability assessment:

1. To compile and consolidate all secondary data regarding the location, type, and function of key
   infrastructure assets, including transportation, energy, water management, and essential public
   facilities.
2. To develop the existing infrastructure landscape in each study area, identifying and classifying the
   main networks and facilities present in the river basins.
3. To provide spatial data for the project’s exposure analysis by mapping the infrastructure inventory
   and supporting its overlay with the hazard zones delineated by other technical experts.
4. To contribute to the identification of systemic risks by highlighting the most significant
   infrastructure assets located in high-hazard areas, to generate strategic recommendations for enhancing
   resilience.

Scope of Work

Task 1: Infrastructure Inventory and Data Compilation
a. Identify, collect, and review all readily available secondary data of the CimanCis and Seluna river
basins. This includes sourcing geospatial data, asset databases, and reports from relevant government
bodies (e.g., Ministry of Public Works and Housing, Ministry of Transportation, Ministry of Energy and
Mineral Resources, Ministry of Health, Ministry of Education) and state-owned enterprises.:
b. Following key sectors:
• Transportation: National and regional roads, railways, bridges, and ports.
• Energy: Power generation facilities, substations, and major transmission lines.
• Water Management: River embankments, drainage canals, pump stations, and water treatment plants.
• Public Facilities: Hospitals, major health centers (Puskesmas), and schools
c. Organize and structure data into the standarized format.
Task 2: Infrastructure Characterization and Exposure Analysis
a. Analyze the compiled inventory of the infrastructure networks in each river basin, noting their
density and distribution.
b. Provide the finalized infrastructure inventory as a geospatial data layer to the Geomatics Specialist
for use in the integrated GIS overlay analysis.
c. Collaborate with the team to analyze the results of the overlay, specifically focusing on creating a
catalogue of all critical infrastructure assets that are located within the delineated flood hazard
zones, quantified by type and sector (e.g., number of hospitals, kilometers of national road).
Task 3: Reporting and Collaboration
a. Provide expert interpretation of the infrastructure exposure analysis, highlighting assets whose
disruption could lead to significant secondary or cascading impacts on the community and regional
economy.
b. Collaborate with the team in the identification of “vulnerability hotspots” by providing expert input
on areas where there is a high concentration of critical infrastructure or where a single, highly
critical asset is exposed to significant flood hazard.
c. Author the specific technical chapter(s) for the project’s final report that detail the inventory of
critical infrastructure, present the findings of the exposure analysis, and discuss the implications for
regional resilience.

Detailed Tasks and/or Expected Output

1. Inception report establishing the operational foundation for the work, which at least include:
   a. A structured GIS data layer containing the locations and key attributes of all identified critical
   infrastructure assets in the CimanCis and Seluna basins.;
   b. an initial assessment identifying potential challenges in data acquisition and a corresponding
   mitigation plan;
2. Interim report:
   a. List of all GIS data related to critical infrastructure;
   b. Initial condition of critical infrastructure conditions for the selected location;
   c. Baseline conditions of the critical infrastructure;
   d. Preliminary critical infrastructure assets map;
   e. Identified flood hazard zones;
   f. Initial strategic recommendations for critical infrastructure
3. Final report, consisting refined and completed version of the the interim report and detailed
   inventory, the quantitive exposure analysis, and expert interpretation of the potential systemic risks
   associated with infrastructure vulnerability.

Minimum Qualification Requirements

1. A Bachelor’s degree (S1) or higher in Civil Engineering, Water Resources Engineering/Management,
   Ocean Engineering, or a closely related engineering field.
2. A minimum of 5 years of professional experience in the planning, design, or assessment of
   infrastructure projects, or a related project.;
3. Have working experience in GIS environment related to physical asset;
4. Proven ability to work effectively within a multi-disciplinary team of technical experts under tight
   deadlines and to deliver high-quality outputs;
5. Excellent professional proficiency in both spoken and written English and Bahasa Indonesia is
   required, including the ability to write clear and concise technical reports.

Minimum General Experience: 5 Years
Minimum Specific Experience (relevant to assignment): 5 Years
