Abt Global is seeking a highly qualified individual to fill the Senior Transportation Specialist role on the Western Province Partnership under the Australia – PNG Subnational (APSP) Program. This role includes a mixture of remote work from the advisor’s home base and some in-country inputs. The position is open to all applicants.

Program Background

Partnerships for Infrastructure (P4I) is the Australian Government’s flagship infrastructure initiative for Southeast Asia. It partners with Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, Timor-Leste, Vietnam and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) to foster inclusive growth through sustainable economic infrastructure (i.e. transport, energy, telecommunications, and utilities). Phase 1 of P4I will run from 2021 to December 2025, with Phase 2 currently in the design process and due to begin early 2026.

Delivered through a single cohesive team, the initiative is led by the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade in collaboration with EY, Adam Smith International, The Asia Foundation and Ninti One. The Program’s Head Office is in Bangkok.

P4I focuses on infrastructure prioritisation and planning, policy and regulation, procurement, and project preparation (P4I does not finance infrastructure delivery). All services address gender equality and social inclusion, disaster risk reduction and climate change issues. P4I can respond to rapid requests but aims to develop longer-term infrastructure engagement.

The Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Change (DRRCC) team leads the advice and quality assurance of low carbon and disaster/climate resilience integration into over 100-plus energy, transport, public investment management and telecommunications activities. The team is located in Bangkok and across the region, drawing down on technical climate and disaster specialists utilised to support high-volume technical inputs into activities.

Further information about P4I is available at www.partnershipsforinfrastructure.org

The Role

The Climate Change and Disaster Risk Reduction Adviser will report to P4I’s Director of Climate and Inclusion, leading the DRRCC team and working closely with the Gender Equality, Disability and Social Inclusion (GEDSI) team, Delivery Partner organisations and other P4I staff to coordinate P4I’s integrated approach of DRRCC across all activities.

The role is open to all nationalities and is based in Bangkok.

The responsibilities of the position will include, but not be limited to:

• Manage 3 part-time DRRCC Advisers and a full-time Climate and Inclusion Coordinator to drive the design and implementation of the DRRCC workstream through the twin-track approach of standalone DRRCC activities and integrate DRRCC into the Program’s service delivery functions. This includes overseeing the management of a technical panel of climate and disaster specialists.
• Provide low-carbon and disaster/climate resilience advice, identifying relevant entry points for energy, transport, public investment management, and telecommunications as part of the design, implementation, and monitoring processes. 
• Work closely with activity teams, DFAT posts and, where relevant, DRRCC sub-contractors, providing quality assurance of all inputs provided.
• Collaborate with stakeholders on DRRCC and infrastructure, including officers and programs at Australian Government posts, Southeast Asian government and ASEAN officials. Coordinate with P4I’s Delivery Partner organisations to align activities with their existing programs, training and networking activities
• Support the coordination of DRRCC with other P4I teams, including Operations, Monitoring and Evaluation, Strategic Communications and Knowledge and Government to Government teams.
• Lead DRRCC reporting and tracking of work budgets that feed into Program Performance Reports.
• Lead the development of the DRRCC framework database that tracks implementation against Climate targets.
• Oversee climate finance alignment analysis of the portfolio according to DFAT requirements.
• Oversee Safeguards portfolio, including safeguards panel of technical specialists.

In undertaking all the above, the position will operate as part of P4I’s One-Team, contributing to well-coordinated planning and delivery across all members of the Delivery Partner organisations.
