ERM is looking for an inspiring, strategic, and deeply experienced Principal Consultant – Resettlement to help lead our growing Capital Project Delivery team across Africa. This is a senior, high‑visibility role for a recognised expert in resettlement and social performance — someone who thrives on complexity, influences executive‑level decisions, and is ready to shape ERM’s resettlement practice across the region.

As a senior leader in our team, you will take ownership of high‑impact, multi‑disciplinary assignments across Sub‑Saharan Africa, including:
Leading strategic resettlement programmes — from involuntary resettlement and land acquisition to livelihood restoration and social due diligence.
Designing and delivering RAPs, LRPs, IPDPs, and community development plans aligned with international standards.
Overseeing socio‑economic baselines and community assessments to ensure robust, ethical, and high‑quality data.
Guiding land access and valuation processes, including compensation frameworks and regulatory approvals.
Leading social due diligence for project finance and M&A across mining, energy, infrastructure, and renewables.
Designing stakeholder engagement strategies, including FPIC, grievance mechanisms, and conflict‑sensitive approaches.
Providing technical leadership to multidisciplinary teams across ERM and partner organisations.
Ensuring quality assurance across deliverables, proposals, and client outputs.
Acting as a trusted advisor to senior client representatives, lenders, and legal teams.
Driving business development, key account management, and regional growth initiatives.
Mentoring and developing talent across ERM’s Africa teams.
Representing ERM at industry forums, conferences, and stakeholder engagements as a recognised thought leader.
This role includes travel to diverse and remote field locations. At ERM, Safety First is non‑negotiable — we prioritise the wellbeing of our people and the communities we serve.
We’re looking for a seasoned professional with:
An advanced degree in economics, development economics, anthropology, sociology, urban planning, demographics, or a related field.
Experience in social performance, with deep expertise in resettlement, land acquisition, livelihood restoration, and stakeholder engagement.
A strong track record delivering complex projects across Africa and multiple sectors.
Expert knowledge of IFC Performance Standards, World Bank ESF, EIB ESS, AfDB safeguards, and national frameworks.
Hands‑on experience with asset valuation, baseline studies, grievance mechanisms, M&E, and social investment planning.
Proven ability to lead interdisciplinary teams and manage complex, multi‑stakeholder assignments.
Exceptional communication and report‑writing skills.
Fluency in English; French or Portuguese is a significant advantage.
Experience working cross‑culturally with clients, governments, and communities.
Familiarity with GIS, social data tools, and digital engagement platforms (desirable).
You will be expected to:
Demonstrate deep technical leadership in resettlement and social performance.
Lead high‑profile, complex projects with autonomy and excellence.
Act as a trusted advisor to clients and lenders.
Drive business growth through proposals, client relationships, and strategic initiatives.
Contribute to thought leadership and innovation.
Mentor and develop teams across the region.
Collaborate globally across ERM’s network.
Uphold ERM’s values of quality, integrity, and safety.
At ERM, you’ll work with a global leader in sustainability consulting — a place where your expertise shapes real outcomes for communities, clients, and the environment. You’ll join a purpose‑driven team committed to delivering lasting social and environmental value.
If you’re ready to lead transformative work and grow your career with a global impact, we’d love to hear from you.
