PURPOSE OF ACTIVITY/ASSIGNMENT: 1. BACKGROUND: The Roving WASH Engineer will support and assist the WASH Specialist and Field Coordinators in the planning, design review, supervision, and quality assurance of WASH construction and rehabilitation activities under the GAC, SIDA, and ECHO-funded projects across ACF South Sudan Mission areas of operation. The Engineer will provide technical support to WASH field teams and work closely with government WASH and health authorities, partners, and other stakeholders to ensure that WASH infrastructure in health and nutrition facilities, institutions, and communities is implemented according to approved designs, technical specifications, and ACF standards. The Engineer will also strengthen construction monitoring and management by conducting regular field visits, identifying technical issues, recommending corrective actions, and supporting verification of completed works before subsequent construction stages and payments. This support will assist the WASH Specialist in managing the increasing construction workload across multiple locations while ensuring quality, timely implementation, proper documentation, and compliance with approved technical and contractual requirements. 2. JUSTIFICATION: ACF South Sudan continues to face significant WASH challenges, particularly in remote, hard-to- reach, flood-prone, conflict- and displacement-affected areas. Despite progress in improving WASH services, many vulnerable communities still have limited access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene services, increasing exposure to waterborne diseases and other public health risks. These challenges are further compounded by recurrent flooding, disease outbreaks, population displacement, weak WASH systems, and limited resources, which affect the availability and sustainability of essential WASH services. Hard-to-reach areas remain particularly underserved and require strengthened technical and operational support. In response, ACF plans to strengthen and expand WASH infrastructure construction and rehabilitation, alongside hygiene promotion, water quality monitoring, emergency preparedness, and community-based WASH approaches. These interventions will prioritize underserved communities, health and nutrition facilities, and other public institutions. The expansion of these activities requires strong technical oversight and construction management to ensure that infrastructure is appropriately designed, safely constructed, and completed to Page 1 of 8 a or “i TERMS OF REFERENCE (TOR) FOR ROVING WASH ENGINEER 3: Anadd CONSULTANT . required quality standards. Strengthening technical capacity will therefore support timely, sustainable, and quality WASH service delivery across ACF’s operational areas.
