Call for Field Coordinators

1. Background and Context

Crest Point for Consultancy and Development (CPCD) is an independent consulting firm specializing in monitoring, evaluation, research, assessments, Third-Party Monitoring (TPM), capacity building, and consultancy services. Established in 2018, CPCD supports humanitarian, development, public-sector, and private-sector actors by providing evidence-based, reliable, and data-driven solutions. Through its work, CPCD contributes to strengthening accountability, transparency, and informed decision-making for clients, partners, and donors.

As part of the expansion of its operations across the Middle East and Africa, CPCD is currently seeking experienced and motivated Field Coordinators in Algeria, Egypt, Ghana, Kenya, Morocco, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Tunisia, and the United Arab Emirates. The selected candidates will play a key role in ensuring the smooth implementation of field activities, effective team coordination, adherence to ethical standards, and the delivery of high-quality field data. Applicants should apply for one country only — the country in which they are based.

2. Overall Objective of the Assignment

The overall objective of this assignment is to support the coordination and supervision of field data collection activities in assigned locations, ensuring that all fieldwork is conducted in line with approved methodologies, ethical guidelines, quality standards, security protocols, and the national laws and authorization requirements applicable in each country.

3. Position Available

Field Coordinator (multiple positions)

Key Responsibilities

The Field Coordinator will be responsible for supporting the planning, coordination, supervision, and quality assurance of field activities. Key responsibilities include:

Serve as the main focal point for field coordination in the assigned location(s). Coordinate with local authorities, community representatives, client focal points, and relevant stakeholders, in line with the approvals, permits, and authorizations required for fieldwork in the country of assignment. Support the preparation and implementation of daily field movement plans and activity schedules. Facilitate access to target locations and support smooth coverage of assigned areas. Form and mobilize field teams, when needed, according to the geographic areas where fieldwork is required, ensuring appropriate coverage, local knowledge, language profile, and operational readiness — including female enumerators where required for access to female respondents. Coordinate logistical and operational arrangements with the Team Leader and project team. Supervise field teams and ensure compliance with the approved methodology and workplan. Monitor the quality of field activities through daily follow-up, spot-checks, back-checks, and review of completed work. Ensure that all team members strictly follow ethical standards, including confidentiality, informed consent, personal data protection, PSEA, Do No Harm, and safeguarding principles. Support the resolution of field challenges and report any operational, access, security, or quality-related issues in a timely manner. Submit daily progress updates to the Team Leader, including completed activities, challenges, risks, and recommendations. Ensure adherence to security protocols and immediately report any incidents, complaints, or concerns. Support referral pathways for urgent protection or humanitarian cases, according to established procedures. Conduct daily team debriefings and document lessons learned, field challenges, and recommendations.

4. Qualifications, Skills, and Experience

4.1 Essential Requirements (all countries)

Legal authorization to live and work in the country applied for — nationals of the country, or holders of a valid residency permit granting the right to work — together with strong knowledge of the national context, local culture, and operational environment. Minimum Diploma or Bachelor's degree in Social Sciences, Development Studies, Statistics, Economics, Public Administration, or any related field. At least 1 year of proven experience in field coordination, data collection supervision, monitoring and evaluation, social or market research, or development fieldwork. Previous experience coordinating field teams in the country applied for is strongly preferred. Fluency in English and fluency in the local languages of the country applied for.

Familiarity with digital data collection tools such as Kobo Collect, ODK, SurveyCTO, or similar platforms. Understanding of basic sampling approaches, quota management, and field quality assurance procedures. Experience in relevant sectors such as Protection, Migration, Social Protection, Food Security and Livelihoods, WASH, Health, Education, Shelter, Employment and Livelihoods, Community Development, or Cash Assistance. Valid driving licence, given the distances between assigned sites.

5. Working Conditions

The position is field-based and may require travel within the assigned locations, including rural, remote, or challenging environments. Working hours may include evenings or weekends depending on respondent availability and the requirements of the assignment.

  • Never pay any amount of money — for a file, a training, a uniform, or an interview. A real employer never asks the candidate to pay.
  • Never send a photo of your ID card, passport, or banking details before you have physically verified the employer exists.
  • Always meet in a public place, during the day — never an isolated address, a private home, or a location you cannot verify in advance.
  • Tell a relative or friend exactly where you are going, with whom, and at what time — and share your live location if possible.
  • Search the company name online before going: a real business has a trace (website, reviews, other employees, an official address).
  • A salary that is far above the market rate for the position and the city is a red flag — be extra cautious.
