Logistic Plateform Project Manager M/W

HI is engaged in supporting the Ukrainian population affected by the war: since February 28, two teams left for Ukraine and the neighboring countries to analyze the context, the security, and the needs.
To date, HI continues the implementation of its program in two countries, Ukraine and Moldova, with more than 20 expatriates and more than 50 employees recruited on the spot.
More than any other, HI ensures that humanitarian actions are inclusive, allowing the most vulnerable populations (people with disabilities, elderly, sick, injured) to have access to the help they need. With a focus on physical rehabilitation, psychosocial support, shelter, access to food, water, and sanitation, explosive remnants of war risk education, and advocacy.
With its Atlas Logistics Unit, HI also ensures the delivery of humanitarian aid in hard-to-reach areas in the East for all NGOs in need thanks to its shared transport and storage activities. For more information, visit our website HERE
We need you to support our field teams in deploying this massive emergency response. Your help can make a difference. Join us!

ATLAS Logistics

ATLAS Logistics will operate a last-kilometer logistic platform (transport & storage) as close as possible to the area of distribution. In parallel and on an ongoing basis, Atlas Logistics will conduct an in-depth analysis of the logistical capacities of the Ukrainian commercial sector and its adequacy to humanitarian needs to orient the AL operational response towards potential bottlenecks and gaps.

Dnipro

The security situation in Dnepropetrovsk remains strong. Markets, restaurants, and cafes are open and life remains normal. From 22:00 to 6:00, there is a strict curfew as in the whole of Ukraine. In the last two months, there have been several ballistic missile attacks on the airport and military and logistics facilities on the periphery, but no impact on the city center. The nearest front line is 130 km away, completely out of reach of artillery or ground attacks. Hi, the staff in Dnepropetrovsk is currently sleeping in each room at the hotel. We opened an office a few minutes from the hotel. Within walking distance are at least 20/30 restaurants and cafes with a variety of quality dining styles, as well as a large public park and shopping center.
