ย  Context Since the inception of IOM in 1951, Movement Operations have been and continue to be a fundamental pillar of the Organizationโ€™s work. The organized movement of persons in need of international migration assistance is a primary mandate of the Organization and a cornerstone of IOMโ€™s operations. This mandate has resulted in the international transport of more than 15 million migrants and refugees worldwide. Movement Operations Units in various IOM Country Offices, coordinated under the Division of Resettlement and Movement Management (RMM) in the Department of Operations and Emergencies (DOE) at IOMโ€™s Geneva Headquarters (HQ), are responsible for all aspects of travel for migrants and refugees under IOMโ€™s auspices, in accordance with the various framework agreements with resettlement and receiving Governments and partners across the spectrum of the Organization's programmes. ย  Under the overall supervision of the supervision of the Supply Chain Officer and under the direct supervision of the National Supply Chain Officer, the incumbent will be responsible for driving IOM buses transporting the refugees from the camps to the capital and vice versa and inside the city in the framework of the resettlement multi-year program. The incumbent will be also responsible for driving IOM vehicles to transport IOM staff and goods authorized by IOM, from one destination to another in a timely, safe and cost-effective manner.
