Energy Project Logistician - Electricity

Médecins Sans Frontières is an international independent medical-humanitarian organization, which offers assistance to populations in distress, to victims of natural or man-made disasters and to victims of armed conflict, without discrimination and irrespective of race, sex, religion, creed or political affiliation.

The MSF movement is build around five operational directorates supported by 23 sections and offices worldwide. MSF OCBA is one of those directorates. The operations are implemented by 41 field teams and 20 mission coordination teams and organizational units based in Barcelona, Athens, Nairobi and Buenos Aires. The field operations are guided and supported by 5 Operational Cells, the Emergency Unit and other departments supporting operations, including the Logistic Department.

Sector: Operations (Logistics). Reports to: Project Manager & Logco (Logistics coordinator of the mission concerned). Contract: Temporary contract. Based: Practically 100 % in the field and (Training/Briefing/Debriefing at HQ in Barcelona). CONTEXT The absence of high-quality infrastructures is common in some countries where MSF is active, especially with regard to electricity. Fairly often, because the competent authorities lack the means or because of damage that has occurred due to a conflict or a natural catastrophe, public electrical facilities are not reliable or simply not available. Therefore, guaranteeing a high-quality power supply in sufficient quantity for a project can prove to be a real challenge for the logistician. This is a challenge that is also a major issue in the safety of the teams, patients and equipment. Each year, because of mismanagement, people are shocked by electricity in infrastructures supervised by MSF (offices, warehouses, houses, healthcare structures, etc.), sometimes with tragic consequences. There is also considerable equipment damage – often costly – because of a failure in the electrical supply. Finally, every power failure potentially presents a life-threatening risk during a medical procedure on a patient. GENERAL OBJECTIVES Given the safety issues related to electricity, it is essential to manage the electrical facilities of all MSF projects and missions as well as possible. For this, it is necessary to call upon professional skills and to observe the quality standards for everything related to electricity, with four basic objectives: •To guarantee the safety with regard to electrocution risks of those present on all the sites supervised by MSF. •To protect MSF equipment and distribution networks on these sites. •To ensure the continuity of MSF services dependent on electricity. •To optimize electrical consumption so as to better control costs and reduce the environmental impact of our projects. A team of four Log Tech Electricity will be established to carry out the “Electrical Installations Project” in MSF infrastructures in the fields of operation of OCBA. This unit, with the agreement and the support of the Cell Logistics Referents (TELOCO) and the supervision of the Project Manager and the TERPO 1 (Technical referent for Energy), will be in charge of measuring, preparing, planning, and carrying out the process of upgrading and bringing safety to our electrical networks according the MSF policy and established standards. MSF infrastructures include healthcare infrastructures, all work and rest areas (building + compound) used by the OCBA: houses, offices, warehouses, garages, workshops, etc.
