Resettlement Data and Compensation Supervisor — Cabo Delgado

A role with a direct impact on the lives of families and on the pace of one of the country's largest sectors: Heading, a recruitment company, has an open position for the supervision of resettlement and compensation data for a client in the oil and gas sector,

in the province of Cabo Delgado. Inademy publishes it with details confirmed today from the official source. The application goes directly to Heading's official portal, the link to which we share below; you have until 16 September 2026 — the deadline indicated in the listing — to apply.

What resettlement means in this project

In large-scale gas projects, there are families who need to relocate or who lose part of their farmland. Mozambican law and international standards — namely standard IFC PS5, on land acquisition and involuntary resettlement —

require this process to be carried out with rigor: survey of all assets, fair compensation agreements, complete registration of each case, and follow-up until people are resettled. It is this scope that the role oversees, on the ground, in Cabo Delgado.

Your work, week by week

You will lead those carrying out compensation and resettlement work in the field: in-house teams, contractor teams, and data collectors working directly with families. In practice, your week will consist of tasks such as:

• Supervising land and asset surveys, ensuring accurate data, complete documentation, and integration with the project data system;
• Preparing, verifying, and archiving compensation agreements, schedules, and information sessions for affected people — before any displacement occurs;
• Monitoring family household and livelihood relocations from start to finish — including resettlement and programs related to cemeteries and sacred sites;
• Coordinating the handover of land access areas to construction, with all supporting documentation complete and properly archived;
• Leading internal data audits and applying quality controls across all resettlement workflows, aligned with the project plan, Mozambican legislation, and international standards;
• Guiding GIS teams and maintaining platforms such as ArcGIS Pro, SDE, FileMaker, and Borealis, with dashboards supporting management decisions;
• Providing training to your teams, government entities, and implementers, and acting as a bridge between the project, the government, and affected families;
• Hosting verification, monitoring, and audit missions, and consolidating daily, weekly, and monthly operational reports.

Safety is part of the routine

You work in a remote operational context, where every trip to the field is planned in advance: logistics coordinates with support services and project security, so that visits to the communities go smoothly and without surprises.

The fit we are looking for

In this role, you will oversee a process that changes the lives of hundreds of families. Government entities will want to see records in order, families will want to understand what they are owed, and field teams will rely on clear instructions.

If you enjoy keeping everything thoroughly documented — and explaining each step to those who have a right to know — you will feel right at home. The formal criteria for education, experience, and skills can be found in the requirements section below.
