JOB DETAILS:
PFP 2 commissioned the company, Leapfrog, to carry out and oversee a series of furniture design sprints, aimed at transitioning the furniture industry in Tanzania and allowing it to better suit the requirements of the urban middleclass. At the same time, PFP 2 has international experts assisting a number of small wood processing companies in the southern highlands by offering them advice on operational improvements and exposing them to new technologies. The aim of the international experts is to support the development and provide training and advice to the small and medium enterprises involved in wood products and furniture manufacturing. Unfortunately, their time in the country is limited, and PFP 2 would like to hire a carpentry tutor who will receive training and work alongside the experts in their fields. The carpentry tutor will be involved in the Leapfrog project where they will be exposed to new innovative furniture designs and manufacturing processes. The wealth of knowledge, and level of exposure to improved methods from the international experts will hopefully build his/her capacity as a carpentry tutor, and the skills and experience gained can be taught and passed on, long after the international experts have left.
