Job description

This is a hybrid position which requires 8 days per month in the office. You will be based in our office in WRI Indonesia, Jakarta. Existing work authorization is required at the time of application submission as WRI is unable to sponsor any visa work sponsorship for this position.

Program Overview

WRI Indonesia is national entity (Yayasan) associated with the World Resources Institute (WRI), a global environmental research organization that turns big ideas into action at the nexus of environment, economic opportunity, and human well-being. WRI Indonesia works with government, civil society, business, communities, and other partners to advance sustainable and inclusive development.

As part of this work, WRI Indonesia is implementing the BFM–BPDLH Project, which includes a substantial portfolio of procurement activities across Aceh and West Sumatra. The portfolio covers goods, services, professional services, equipment, and construction-related works involving different values, locations, implementation schedules, procurement methods, and levels of complexity.

In West Sumatra, the planned procurements include materials and equipment for honey agroforestry and citronella production, administrative and production equipment for KUPS and cooperatives, nursery facilities and seedlings, market research and digital services, and an ecotourism package covering site planning, construction, supporting facilities, signage, and digital infrastructure.

In Aceh, the planned procurements include construction and supporting facilities for honey production, agroforestry, coffee processing, and ecotourism, as well as machinery, production and packaging equipment, warehouses, nursery materials, agricultural and fisheries inputs, digital systems, and professional media services across several project locations, including Bener Meriah and Aceh Tengah. The appropriate procurement method for each package will be determined in accordance with WRI Indonesia’s procurement policies, applicable thresholds and approvals, and relevant funder requirements.
