The Habitat for Humanity–Hilti Foundation Project aims to improve the environmental impact, resilience, and quality of home construction in the Philippines. With this, the project targets to construct 10,000 disaster-resilient, low-cost Bamboo Cement Frame Houses for vulnerable informal settler families (ISFs) in Negros Occidental in the next five years. Beyond the construction of the homes, the project intends to:
Provide innovative housing solutions and help in the development of sustainable communities with local government units (LGUs).
Promote the use of sustainable eco-friendly construction technologies to help reduce home construction’s impact on Climate Change.
Its three core implementation concepts are:
- Green: Promoting the adoption of environmentally friendly construction materials and practices.
- Disaster-resilient: Reducing poor households’ vulnerability to natural hazards through safer construction and better community design.
- Sustainable Community: Ensuring that the social, economic, environmental and political factors are present to help the community thrive and become independent and self-reliant.
- A coalition of stakeholders, led by Habitat, Hilti and local government units, will implement the project. Partnerships with national government agencies, other NGOs, land developers, vulnerable informal communities and research institutions will support and add value. Hence, the project seeks a dynamic and progressive HR Manager, reporting to the Chief of Party (Cop).
- Seconded to Habitat for Humanity Philippines, the HR Manager supports the Negros Occidental Impact 2025 Project team by effectively managing the employee life cycle and general administration of HR policies, procedures and practices, ensuring that the project is implemented in accordance to local labor law, HFHI and HFHP standards.
- S/he will provide HR support and guidance to the HR and Admin support staff based in the various project sites.
- Though reporting directly to the Chief of Party of the project, s/he will also cross-functionally report to Area Office (AO) HRLOD Director with respect to seconded staff on HR matters and HFHI policies and procedures and to the National Office (NO) HRLOD Director for NO HR policies and procedures.
