Field Research & Delivery Head Large-scale fieldwork | Survey quality | Multi-team delivery LOCATION NCR or any A-Tier city ENGAGEMENT Short-term | 3-4 months OPENINGS 01 This opportunity is for a field-operations leader who has successfully mobilised large survey teams and can maintain evidence quality under a demanding schedule. The programme combines resident and business interviews with operational inspections, route verification and measurement exercises. Your mandate Convert survey specifications into a working deployment model, achieve complete assigned-area coverage and ensure that only valid field records enter the final analysis. What you will lead
• Design an executable sampling rollout. Prepare daily and weekly deployment against the agreed sampling frame. Ensure household interviews meet the greater of a 1% sample or 150 homes per local area, alongside at least 40 commercial interviews per area, without leaving coverage cells unrepresented.
• Mobilise multiple specialist crews. Direct enumerators, area coordinators, supervisors, station-assessment crews and independent quality-checkers. Organise day-and-night rosters where required, allocate devices and weighing equipment, and track field attendance against actual completed work.
• Run controlled waste-transfer inspections. Manage full incoming-load counts at operational transfer points over at least three randomly scheduled days, with weighing before discharge, supporting photographs, material-stream classification and cross-checking against available operator records.
• Execute generator and service-provider verification. Arrange verification of all generators producing 100 kg or more of waste daily, plus random checks of at least 30% of smaller generators.



Coordinate full-day weighed observations for selected sites and evidence of their waste-service arrangements and final disposal paths.
• Support vehicle and street-level validation. Deploy trailing teams and observations to test GPS route traces against at least 10% of vehicle-days in each service area. Capture street coverage, missed pickups, operating-window deviations, hotspot locations and crew or muster discrepancies.
• Standardise defensible mobile evidence. Make each applicable observation traceable by coordinates, recording time and photograph. Train staff in respondent selection, location accuracy, acceptable photos, scale handling and daily upload procedures, including protocols for weak-connectivity situations. ROLE DETAILS / CONTINUED Field Research & Delivery Head Delivery, quality and collaboration
• Operate independent back-checks. Coordinate survey call-backs, repeat visits and spot checks covering at least 10% of records, supported by a quality team independent of frontline deployment. Investigate duplicates, impossible locations, suspicious timing and incomplete evidence before closing cases.
• Enforce acceptance discipline. Treat missing sampling cells, invalid station counts and unsupported records as incomplete work. Maintain correction and re-survey registers, and prevent the field MIS from reporting an area as complete until the relevant quality gates are passed.
• Maintain field readiness and safety.



Issue easy SOP-style instructions for site access, traffic exposure, waste-contact precautions, photographs and portable equipment. Work with administration on compliant personnel onboarding, safe deployment and incident escalation.
• Control progress with daily numbers. Review team-wise output, staffing, cell coverage, station calendars, questionnaire rejection, GPS mismatches and back-check findings. Escalate delays quickly and redeploy staff before they threaten the interim and final reporting milestones.
• Coordinate special studies and handover. Arrange access and local support for authorised aerial measurements without operating the aircraft personally. Feed verified survey batches, field issues and final status notes to the geospatial, technical and programme teams. What you will help deliver
• Field mobilisation, sample allocation, area calendars and duty rosters.
• Daily coverage and productivity MIS, with site-level audit evidence and traceable exceptions.
• Independent quality-check log, re-visit plan and acceptance-ready area completion records.
• Clean field batches and supporting proofs handed to the analytical and technology teams. Who should apply
• Graduate qualification; civil engineering, geography, planning, environmental science, sociology and allied fields are relevant.
• At least 10 years leading major field research or public-service field operations.
• Proven management of 150 or more field staff on one assignment, with accountable supervisors and verification processes.
• Survey directors or operational delivery leaders comfortable with geotagged apps, daily productivity control and rapid mobilisation.
