About the Pacific Australia Skills Programme
Pacific Australia Skills is a significant Australian Government investment focused on supporting social and economic growth by strengthening skills and training systems throughout the Pacific and Timor-Leste.
The programme builds on 17 years of Australian Government support for skills and training in the Pacific, with the aim of contributing to stronger skills systems and improved development outcomes across the region.
DT Global Asia Pacific is supporting programme delivery through locally led approaches and partnerships with governments, communities and other stakeholders. The organisation brings extensive regional experience, with more than 1,500 staff and experts working across more than 22 countries.
Technical Support Consultant Roster
DT Global is establishing a roster of 6 to 8 qualified Technical Support Consultants who can provide specialist support when required.
The consultants will deliver advisory, coordination, analytical, writing, operational and implementation assistance across one or more technical areas.
Assignments may be undertaken remotely, in-country, or through a combination of both, depending on the requirements of each assignment. The specific deliverables, timelines and level of effort will be agreed separately for individual engagements.
This flexible structure could be particularly attractive to experienced consultants who want to contribute to international development programmes through specialised short-term assignments.
Areas of Expertise
Applicants can nominate their expertise under one or more of seven technical categories:
1. Strategic Planning and Programme Design
Consultants may support programme planning, design processes and strategic decision-making to help strengthen programme effectiveness and delivery.
2. Technical Writing, Editing and Documentation
Professionals with strong writing and editing skills may provide support with reports, technical documents, programme materials and other forms of development-sector documentation.
3. Programme Management and Coordination Support
This area is suitable for professionals experienced in coordinating complex programmes, supporting implementation teams and managing competing priorities.
4. Procurement and Contracting Support
Procurement specialists may provide technical assistance related to procurement processes, contracting and programme operations.
5. Governance, Risk and Compliance
Consultants with governance, risk management, compliance or related expertise can support programme teams in maintaining effective systems and controls.
6. Financial Advisory Support
Financial professionals may provide specialist advice and analytical support to programme teams and management.
7. Capacity Building and Organisational Development
Consultants with experience in training, institutional strengthening and organisational development may contribute to improving the capabilities of programme partners and teams.
Who Can Apply?
The opportunity is designed for experienced development professionals with relevant academic qualifications and practical experience.
Applicants should have a degree-level qualification in international development, public administration, social sciences, education, business management, finance, procurement, governance, law or a related discipline, together with experience in a development setting.
Candidates should also demonstrate experience providing technical advisory services to international development programmes, preferably within the skills and training sector.
Experience working in Pacific Island Countries and/or Timor-Leste is specifically sought, alongside experience working on large, complex regional development programmes.
Experience with DFAT-funded programmes or managing contractor programmes will also be relevant. Strong analytical, planning and problem-solving abilities, excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills, strong report-writing capabilities and the ability to work independently are among the other requirements.

Consultants may support country teams, regional teams and the Programme Management Unit. Assignments can vary in scope and complexity, allowing specialists from different professional backgrounds to contribute according to their expertise.
However, candidates should note that engagements are issued on an as-needed basis, and the roster does not guarantee a minimum volume of work.
