Tetra Tech International Development Services (http://www.tetratech.com/intdev) headquartered in Arlington, VA is currently accepting expressions of interest from qualified candidates for a Change Management Coach position for the Workplace Advancement for Gender Equality (WAGE) project, currently implemented, under the Making Cities Work Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract. The objective of WAGE is to continue adapting and scaling up USAID’s efforts to increase gender equality and women’s economic empowerment opportunities within traditionally male-dominated sectors, as pioneered in USAID's Engendering Utilities model.
USAID launched Engendering Utilities in 2015 to improve understanding of gender inequalities
and increase gender equity in power sector utilities. Since its inception, the program has utilized a Collaborating, Learning and Adapting (CLA) approach to build upon the successes and lessons learned from the program’s implementation over time.
The Change Management Coach (CMC) for the USAID-funded Engendering Utilities (https://www.usaid.gov/energy/engendering-utilities) will play a critical role in coaching senior managers within utility companies from developing countries to implement gender equitable policies and practices across the employee life cycle, alongside workplace culture change, within their utilities. This support takes place for the duration of this phase of Engendering Utilities, which began in July 2019 and ends in July 2024. The level of effort for this assignment is between 60-75% over the 2-year period. The location of the position is flexible as the position requires some remote work and field travels.
