CARE Bangladesh is inviting applications for a Project Engineer position that will play a key role in building safer, stronger, and more climate-resilient communities in the Cox’s Bazar region, offering an exciting chance for an experienced engineer who wants their work to make a direct difference in people’s lives. Based at the Ukhiya Field Office under the regional office, the role is part of a wider resilience programme that supports host communities living alongside large numbers of displaced people and facing repeated risks such as cyclones, heavy rain, floods, and landslides. The Project Engineer will lead the planning, design, and supervision of disaster risk reduction and community-based agricultural infrastructure, including rural roads, access paths, training and aggregation centres, drainage channels, and irrigation systems that help farmers and families stay connected and productive in challenging conditions. A major focus of the job is quality: the successful candidate will guide construction engineers and contractors, carry out regular site visits, check materials, and solve technical problems so that every structure is safe, durable, and built according to approved designs, standards, and environmental safeguards. Because the work spans several upazilas, the role also involves close coordination with government departments such as engineering and disaster management offices, as well as local authorities, partner organisations, and community groups, making strong communication and relationship skills essential. The Project Engineer will help organise technical meetings, share progress updates, and bring community feedback into project decisions so that people who use the infrastructure feel real ownership and can help look after it. On the monitoring side, the position includes keeping clear records, preparing technical and progress reports, collecting photos and field data, and tracking contractor performance against work plans and budgets. To be considered, candidates should have a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering, construction management, disaster management, or a related discipline, several years of experience in infrastructure or disaster risk reduction projects, and confidence working in remote, disaster-prone areas or humanitarian settings. Familiarity with tools such as AutoCAD and common office software, as well as knowledge of national engineering standards and safety rules, will be important for success. CARE highlights its strong commitment to safety, safeguarding, and equal opportunity, and looks for people who share its mission of social justice and poverty reduction. The position offers a fair salary and chances for training, learning, and teamwork with specialists from many fields. It suits engineers who want a stable role that blends technical skill with field work and clear, long-lasting benefits for vulnerable communities across the region.
