The Specialist will monitor preparatory field activities and corrective actions, support incident reporting, coordinate stakeholder engagement and grievance management, track environmental and social commitments and permitting requirements, liaise with competent authorities and the World Bank, and provide training, technical advice and reporting to strengthen the PIU’s and PE HS Zletovica’s capacity for project preparation and implementation. The Specialist will report directly to the PIU Coordinator and will work in close coordination with PE HS Zletovica management and technical staff, World Bank environmental and social specialists, consultants preparing technical and environmental and social documentation, and relevant national and local authorities.
