WORK FOR AN AWARD-WINNING NON-PROFIT SOCIAL INNOVATOR
Job Title: Indonesia Technical Supervisor
Industry: Non-profit/International Development
Job Location: Indonesia
Start Date: Immediate
Term: At-will
Salary: Competitive salary commensurate on experience
WHO WE ARE
Founded in 2004, Build Change is a nonāprofit social innovator whose mission is to greatly reduce deaths, injuries and economic losses caused by housing and school collapses due to earthquakes, extreme weather, and fire. Our global experience shows that home improvement programs focused on improving existing housing can be carried out successfully across a range of countries and disaster contexts. To do this, we implement programs that are both economically and socially sustainable.
Our approach looks beyond construction and engineering to create an environment in which people want to improve the safety of their homes, and in which it is possible and affordable for them to do so. Systems change can only be achieved by overcoming the major barriers to success for resilient housing programs, which include People, Money, and Technology. Today, Build Change is the global leader and advocate for disaster-resilient housing and winner of major awards for social entrepreneurship and innovation (Skoll Foundation, Schwab Foundation, Ashoka, Draper Richards Kaplan and Echoing Green). We are an active member of the UN Race to Resilience and the Global Resilient Housing Program, which we launched with the World Bank in 2017, and we also regularly participate in global forums such as the UN Conference of the Parties (COP), World Economic Forum and the G7. We have worked in 26 countries and are currently active in Asia, East Africa, the Middle East, Latin America and the Caribbean.
