International Field Officer

2 weeks ago

Dumfries, United Kingdom The HALO Trust Full time

International Field Officer - various locations overseas (January 2025 start date)

**Mechanical Engineering pathway**

Full Time. Permanent

£25,956 increasing to £33,959 following completion of training

Location: Initial Field Officer training will be in Cambodia or Sri Lanka. First posting will be assigned across any of our global programmes.

In addition to our standard Field Officer pathway, we are keen to recruit individuals who have a mechanical engineering degree and background. In some of our global programmes, mechanical landmine clearance is expanding, and this is a great opportunity for individuals who are passionate about the mechanical engineering field and putting their skills to use making a real difference to the lives of others around the world.

This application opportunity should ONLY be taken up by individuals able to attend a selection day in south-west Scotland week commencing 14th October, and able to start training in mid January 2025.

The mission of the HALO Trust is: “To lead the effort to save lives and restore livelihoods for those affected by conflict”. HALO clears landmines, disposes of explosive ordnance including IEDs, and is involved in weapon control.

When you become a Field Officer in HALO, you join a team with a shared commitment to making a difference in some of the most vulnerable communities in the world. HALO offers a full training package for the role of Field Officer, and you do not require previous knowledge of landmine clearance or ordnance disposal.

HALO wants people who have a sense of adventure but are responsible and mature. We are looking for leaders who are resilient and self-motivated.

HALO’s Field Officers work across our programmes in various roles and with early responsibilities. You will need the aptitude to be able to function in dynamic and challenging environments and you should have demonstrable management and leadership skills.

HALO’s training will prepare you for deployment to one of our programmes where you could be leading between 250 and 1,000 local employees. On the Field Officer course you will receive technical training in mine clearance, basic explosive ordnance disposal and minefield survey. You will cover HALO’s finance, logistics, security and quality management systems. Once deployed to a programme, in addition to operational field work you will be involved in equipment auditing and maintenance, overseeing repair of vehicles, and writing reports and proposals.

Working for HALO is rewarding, but it is also physically and mentally demanding. Living and operating in remote locations in basic conditions can be wearing. You will be away from home for months on end. HALO Field Officers must be flexible and be willing to be posted to any of HALO's programmes. Research our programmes at .

You will work and live with staff from a range of backgrounds and cultures. You will need to be tolerant; you will need good interpersonal skills.

Working for HALO offers valuable personal and professional development, and for those who succeed we offer further training and development to support career progression.

No two days working for HALO are ever the same. Life is rarely dull, but working for HALO can be tough. However, if you genuinely want to make a difference to people's lives, it could be the job for you.

HALO has six values that all staff are expected to live by:

Courage Discipline Integrity Respect for Others Loyalty Selfless Commitment

If you want to join HALO you must confirm you can meet these values.

If you are interested in joining HALO but are unable to meet the above dates, we will be running further Field Officer training in 2025. Keep an eye on the website at .
