[sustran] Transport Specialists: Opportunities at ADB

[ksakamoto at adb.org]

Transport is a key factor contributing to economic development and poverty 
reduction. By reducing travel times and costs, and improving 
accessibility, transport
(i) enables economic activities, health care, education, and social 
development to be undertaken more effectively and efficiently; and (ii) 
allows more people to participate and share in the benefits of 
development.

The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has a strong record of supporting 
transport in its developing member countries. Transport has accounted for 
21% of ADB lending since its establishment in 1966, and 27% during 
2005–2009, and is expected to remain a major part of lending in future. 
Transport operations are guided by ADB’s Sustainable Transport Initiative, 
approved in 2010, which focuses on creating transport systems that are 
accessible, safe, affordable, and environment-friendly. 

In addition to supporting roads and railways, ADB is now expanding its 
support for urban transport, addressing climate change in transport, 
cross-border transport and logistics, road safety, and socially inclusive 
transport.

To support the implementation of its sustainable transport agenda, ADB is 
looking to recruit highly qualified and strongly motivated candidates to 
join its staff as Transport Specialists. The successful candidates will be 
responsible for identifying, developing, implementing, and administering 
loans, technical assistance projects, and non-lending products and 
services to support sustainable transport in developing member countries. 
They will also take part in preparing publications and other knowledge- 
sharing activities on sustainable transport and its role in supporting 
inclusive growth and poverty reduction.

Candidates must have at least 8 years of relevant professional experience 
in the transport sector, including preparation and implementation of 
transport projects, in any of the following areas:

• highways and rural roads;
• road asset management, road financing, and road user charges;
• road safety;
• railways development and strengthening of railway institutions;
• urban transport, including road- and rail-based mass transit systems, 
non-motorized transport, and travel demand management;
• inland waterway transport and ports;
• multimodal logistics and cross-border transport
• energy-efficient and low-emission vehicles;
• intelligent transport systems;
• private sector participation in transport, including public–private 
partnerships; and
• socially inclusive transport.
