• Develop internal standard operating procedures (SOPs) and analytical tools
• Provide operational analytics for carbon project assessments

Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV)

• Design long-term monitoring frameworks for carbon and biodiversity outcomes
• Conduct GIS and remote sensing analyses for land-use change and biomass estimation
• Integrate SAR and hyperspectral data in coastal ecosystem assessments

Stakeholder Engagement

• Collaborate with local partners, internal teams, and Validation and Verification Bodies (VVBs)
• Support due diligence, audit processes, and third-party verification requirements

Required Experience

• Demonstrated experience in planning and implementing mangrove restoration projects
• Expertise in mangrove ecosystem analysis and carbon stock assessment
• Proficiency in blue carbon modelling and assessment techniques
• Experience in tidal hydrology analysis and hydrological modelling software
• Familiarity with carbon certification standards (e.g., VERRA, Plan Vivo, Gold Standard, ACR)
• Knowledge of methodologies such as VM0033, VM0007, VM0024, and SCM0010
• Experience preparing or reviewing PDDs, MRV documentation, and baseline assessments
• Strong analytical and quantitative modelling capabilities
• Experience in coastal remote sensing and land-cover analysis
• Understanding of aquaculture–mangrove system interactions
• Marine fieldwork competence and water safety training
• Proven record of delivering complex, multi-stakeholder projects within contractual targets and budgets

Skills and Knowledge
