WAM Technical Field Manager, Caribbean

**The starting salary package for this position is £70,824 GBP / approx. $94,935 USD including all allowances.**

**About MAG:**

MAG (Mines Advisory Group) is an international humanitarian organisation based in Manchester, UK, and working in over 40 countries. We remove landmines and unexploded ordnance to release safe and productive land for communities, and work to reduce the threat of armed violence by supporting governments to safely manage weapons and ammunition. In 1997, MAG was a co-recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize for our work campaigning for the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention.

**About the role:**

In this role, you will be based in Trinidad & Tobago, with regular travel across the Caribbean, delivering critical Weapons and Ammunition Management (WAM) activities across multiple projects. You will work directly to reduce risk and strengthen safe practices in complex environments by conducting EOD and weapon destruction tasks, providing training to national partners, and supporting the Construction Manager in the rehabilitation and/or development of safe storage and operational facilities. You will lead and mentor technical teams, ensuring rigorous adherence to safety standards while building local capacity for long-term impact. Working closely with the Technical Lead, you will help ensure operations are delivered safely, effectively, and to a high professional standard.

This role offers the opportunity to apply your technical expertise across varied Caribbean contexts, contribute to meaningful, life-preserving work, and play a key part in strengthening sustainable WAM systems throughout the region.

**About the MAG Caribbean programme:**

The MAG Caribbean programme plays a key role in building national and regional capacity to address firearm-related violence, enhance public safety, and promote long-term stability across the region. The Caribbean region experiences some of the highest levels of violence in the world, with violent death rates nearly three times the global average. Firearms are used in over half of all homicides, presenting a serious challenge to safety and security across the region.

In partnership with CARICOM IMPACS, MAG is working to strengthen weapons and ammunition management across the Caribbean. Through a series of technical assessments, MAG has identified critical gaps and priority areas where targeted support and training are most needed. Building on this foundation, MAG will continue its vital work in the region by expanding assessments and training to additional CARICOM Member States, while also providing technical assistance in weapons destruction and management.
