Energy, Water, and Waste Management Experts

B-Hub at the Center for Continuing Education / Birzeit University, under the leadership of Future Pioneers for Empowering Communities’ Members (FPEC), is implementing the UfM-funded “Women and Youth Driving Sustainable Transformation” project. The project aims to empower youth and women to act as catalysts in the transition to an inclusive green economy in Jordan, Palestine, and Tunisia. Currently, the project is seeking experts in energy, water, and waste management green practices as detailed below.

Objective:
The primary objective of this consultancy is to develop a comprehensive training package focused on energy, water, and waste audits and efficiency best practices for small manufacturing and agro businesses and women-led home-based enterprises. This material will be used to train university students and fresh graduates with an engineering background, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to mentor small companies on resources audits and best operational practices in energy and water saving, waste reduction, and resource optimization. The training material should be structured according to Training Best Practices standards and forms (to be provided by B-Hub) to ensure usability by the project partners in Jordan and Tunisia. The material should enable trainees to:

1. Conduct audits in energy consumption, water use, and waste generation and management.
2. Analyze audit findings and identify inefficiencies.
3. Implement green practices in energy consumption and saving, water use and saving, and waste reduction, recycling, and disposal.
4. Promote green energy, water, and waste management practices among targeted private enterprises.

   The material in each field should correspond to 12 hours of training.
