Lead Environmental Engineer (retainer position)

The Project “Clean up of OHIS Site and Small Pond of OHIS Industrial Site Clean-Up” is designed to support remediation of the most critical environmental hotspot in the Republic of North Macedonia - the industrial pollution at the site of the former Organic Chemical Industry of Skopje. The European Union (EU) has provided 2.5 million Euros through the Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance (IPA) III to fund the Project, which is implemented by the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS) over a period of 24 months. he Government of North Macedonia also provides funding contributions to remediation activities. 

The overall objective of the project is to contribute to the improvement of the environmental standards in North Macedonia through enhanced application of environmental policies in remediation of industrial hot-spots, and by decreasing the pollution-related risks to the environment and human health. The main environmental benefit from the project is the mitigation of risks associated with the release of hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) into the environment and their subsequent distribution with resultant ecological and human health impacts from exposure to these chemicals.

This Project will contribute to the completion of the cleaning activities of the OHIS small basin of waste. The methodological approach that will be used will be removal of wastes and overlying contaminated soil and concrete and destruction by thermal decomposition, i.e. incineration at a licensed facility abroad.
