Original source description
Terraformation, a company that funds and runs native forest and mangrove restoration projects, is hiring a Senior Specialist in Mangrove Restoration and MRV (monitoring, reporting and verification) for its Keta Blue project in Ghana's Volta Region. The job is based in Anloga, and you must be willing to relocate there and spend up to half your time on site.
You would be Terraformation's senior technical lead in the country for Keta Blue: making sure restoration and monitoring methods are applied correctly by staff, partners and contractors, that project data is complete and reliable, and that what is learned in the field improves the project and its carbon monitoring.
What you would do
Own technical delivery and MRV for the mangrove project, in line with the approved carbon methodology, monitoring plan and good restoration practice.
Advise on site assessment, species choice, hydrology, planting, maintenance and adjusting the approach when results fall short.
Turn project designs, carbon monitoring rules and sampling methods into practical field plans for staff, partners and contractors.
Spend time in the field checking restoration results and protocol compliance, spotting ecological and data risks, and overseeing fixes.
Oversee collection and checking of field data for carbon accounting, such as survival, growth and ecological measurements, and keep GIS records accurate and ready for audit.
Set up quality checks so data is complete, accurate and meets carbon standards, and support third-party validation and verification audits.
Direct and train local partners, technicians, survey teams and consultants on restoration, monitoring tools and documentation.
Work with the Ghana project, safeguards and country leadership teams so monitoring fits into plans, budgets and reporting.
Requirements

- Strong knowledge of field monitoring, sampling, ecological and geospatial data collection and data quality assurance.
- GIS skills, strong spreadsheet and data management skills, and experience with field data apps or monitoring software.
- Experience training partners and field teams, and solving restoration and data problems at the root.
