About Cities and Infrastructure for Growth Zambia (CIGZambia)

CIGZambia is a facility that provides high-quality independent technical
advice and assistance to Zambian government bodies and private sector
organisations engaged in projects/ programmes that help harness the potential
of Zambia’s cities and towns to act as drivers for economic growth and job
creation. CIGZambia is funded by the UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth and
Development Office (FCDO).

The overall programme objectives are

> increasing urban productivity;
> improving inclusive access to urban economic infrastructure services;
> increasing investment into urban economic infrastructure services; and,
> enhancing national and regional integration between cities.

About the Role

This project is an energy efficiency retrofit street lighting project aimed at
upgrading over 3,600 High Pressure Sodium (HPS) and Mercury Vapour (MV) lamps
with an equivalent number of modern energy efficient grid connected and solar
powered LED lamps. HPS and MV lamps have been known to pose an environmental
threat and are classified as hazardous waste by the Zambia Environmental
Management Authority (ZEMA). Therefore, the street lighting project requires
environmental clearance from ZEMA.

CIGZambia seeks the services of a consultant to recommend the most cost-
effective method of managing the uninstallation, storage, transportation,
disposing and/or recycling of the HPS and MV hazardous waste throughout the
street lighting retrofit project development phase. The consultant would also
have to take into account the requirement from the Environmental Management
Act of 2011 and ZEMA regulations.

The consultant may also be required to perform an environmental life-cycle
assessment for the LED, solar modules and battery technologies that will be
installed during the project life cycle and recommend the management of the
electronic waste that would be left over from these systems at the end of the
project life.

The consultant will also be expected to engage with ZEMA and prepare an
environmental management plan and further provide to CIGZambia a list of ZEMA
approved waste transporters, recyclers and/or disposers of HPS and MV in
Zambia and/or southern Africa. The consultant may also facilitate discussions
between the waste management companies and CIGZambia.

CIGZambia is implementing this project in consortium with EDF South Africa and
The University of Zambia.

Project Responsibilities

The consultant will prepare a Hazardous Waste Management Plan that will be
submitted to ZEMA to obtain environmental clearance for the uninstallation,
storage, transportation and disposal or recycling of over 3,600 Mercury Vapour
(MV) and High Pressure Sodium (HPS) lamps, as required by the Zambia
Environmental Management Act of 2011 and ZEMA regulations. The consultant
would also facilitate any subsequent discussions between ZEMA and CIGZambia.

Immediate Requirement

The consultant will advise CIGZambia on the best practice to manage MV and HPS
lamps and prepare a hazardous waste management plan that would be submitted to
ZEMA to obtain clearance for the safe disposal or recycle of MV and HPS lamps.

Resourcing and Reporting

The resourcing requirement will vary during the 12 days, with approximately 5
days to scope the report, 5 days to prepare the written report. The consultant
would report to the Project Technical Lead.

Key Qualifications

> Bachelor’s Degree in Environmental Management, Environmental Engineering, Chemical Engineering or any relevant subject. Master’s Degree in a related subject will be an added advantage.
> Certified, approved or cleared by ZEMA to carry out environmental management works in Zambia.
> At least 5 years’ experience in preparing Environmental Project Briefs, Environmental Impact Assessments and Environmental Management plans.
> Previous experience getting approval from ZEMA for hazardous waste management plans is required.
> Knowledge and experience in the management of hazardous waste, particularly HPS and MV lamps.
