• At least 7 years of experience in planning, designing, and implementing groundwater or surface water irrigation systems for agricultural production.
• Strong understanding of piped irrigation, micro-irrigation, sprinkler systems, and climate-smart agriculture principles.
• Familiarity with government agricultural policies, water resource regulations, and environmental compliance requirements.
• Proficiency in using irrigation design and management software, GIS, and remote sensing tools is an asset.
• Strong project management skills, including design oversight, field supervision, and coordination with multidisciplinary teams.
• Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and technical skills to optimize water use efficiency and crop productivity.
• Effective communication and report-writing skills in English to prepare technical documents and engage with stakeholders.
