Organizational Context and Scope Established in 1951, IOM is the leading inter-governmental organization in the field of migration and works closely with governmental, intergovernmental, and non-governmental partners. The International Organization for Migration (IOM) is committed to the principle that humane and orderly migration benefits migrants and society. As the leading international organization for migration, IOM acts with its partners in the international community to assist in meeting the growing operational challenges of migration management, advance understanding of migration issues, encourage social and economic development through migration and uphold the human dignity and well-being of migrants. IOM Philippines implements a range of projects requiring engineering expertise, primarily in the context of disaster risk reduction and management and supporting climate-resilient shelter solutions. This includes a project focused on establishing a diaspora-guaranteed microfinance model for safe shelters. The project aims to facilitate collaboration with the private sector and affected populations to solve complex humanitarian challenges. Further, IOM plays a vital role in supporting the Philippines’ Department of Human Settlement and Urban Development (DHSUD) in its leadership and implementing roles of the Shelter Cluster under the Early Recovery and Response Pillar of the country’s disaster risk reduction and management (DRRM) system. Under the direct supervision of the National Project Officer of the Legazpi Sub-Office, and working closely with the National Emergency Preparedness and Response Officer, the National Project Officer (Engineer) will assist in the effective coordination, reporting, and implementation of shelter/infrastructure components of the Diaspora Engagement and Closing the Loop projects and emergency response initiatives under the Legazpi Sub-office AOR and other parts of the country during disaster operations, as necessary.
