About the project

This role is part of the Transport Corridor for Economic Resilience Project (TRACER SOP2), funded by the World Bank under agreement IDA-E4810. The contracting entity is MTL/UCP, reporting to the Portfolio Coordinator. We are looking for a senior consultant with a proven track record in infrastructure works and contract management, comfortable working in a multi-agency environment where private concessionaires, project teams, and public supervisory bodies must work in sync.

The assignment has a duration of 24 months starting from contract signing, with the first three months serving as a probationary period. Following a satisfactory performance evaluation, renewal is possible.

What you will do

The work covers two main fronts: logistics corridor infrastructure and the development of the resilient N1 alternative road. On a day-to-day basis, your responsibilities include:

• Verify the high-level structural design of corridor projects, confirming the technical soundness of the solutions;
• Provide macro-contractual supervision of private concessionaires, maintaining an overall view of the contracts;
• Monitor physical progress, schedules, and performance milestones of selected companies for the One-Stop Border Posts (OSBP) of Cassacatiza, Calomue, and Zobuè;
• Ensure that signed PPP concessions are met, taking action as soon as deviations arise;
• Lead the strategic infrastructure planning for the N1 alternative road, refining design parameters for functional alternative routes in extreme weather situations;
• Serve as the central technical link between independent road civil works teams and the UCP;
• Produce multi-agency institutional reports that keep all partners aligned;
• Implement a structured framework to prepare new resilient transport corridors, leaving practical methods for the future of the portfolio.

Conditions

The assignment has a duration of 24 months, with the first three serving as a probationary period. Renewal depends on a satisfactory performance evaluation.

Direct reporting to the UCP Portfolio Coordinator. Financial terms follow World Bank consultancy procedures — the remuneration has not been disclosed. You can request the full Terms of Reference via the same application email during working hours (8:30 AM–3:00 PM).

How to apply

Prepare two documents:

• Detailed CV with qualifications, professional background, and achievements in comparable assignments;
• Cover letter demonstrating, point by point, how you meet each mandatory criterion in Section 4 of the Terms of Reference.

Documents may be written in Portuguese or English (submitting in both languages strengthens the application). Send everything to the Portfolio Coordinator, Ministry of Transport and Logistics, Maputo — procurement.ucp@mtl.gov.mz —, to arrive by 3:00 PM on October 5, 2026 (local time, CAT/UTC+2).

In the email subject line, you must write the reference MZ-MTL-558157-CS-INDV and the job title. Without this identification, the application will not be evaluated.

The application goes directly to MTL/UCP. On Inademy, your profile is free and you receive job alerts via email and WhatsApp.

Before applying

Formal selection processes of this type have precise format and content requirements. A few practical tips before sending:

• Request the full ToR in advance. The Terms of Reference contain the mandatory criteria in Section 4 — without reading them, you cannot write an adequate cover letter. Contact procurement.ucp@mtl.gov.mz during working hours (8:30 AM–3:00 PM).
• Write the letter criterion by criterion. Go to Section 4 of the ToR, list each mandatory criterion, and address each one directly with examples from your career.
• Check the email subject line before sending. The reference MZ-MTL-558157-CS-INDV and the job title must appear in the subject line — this is an eligibility requirement, not a formality.
• Organize your CV by comparable projects. Highlight infrastructure works, contract management, and multi-agency work relevant to this position. The guide to sending a CV by email helps you structure your application properly.
• Confirm the deadline in your calendar. The deadline is 3:00 PM on October 5, 2026 (CAT/UTC+2) — not midnight. Send early to avoid last-minute issues.

If your CV still needs adjusting for a technical role of this scale, the CV guide for technical roles has practical examples you can adapt.
