National Information Technology/ Systems Integration Expert (SSA) - Roster Call

Objective

To integrate real-time data feeds from automated water-level monitoring stations installed at ≥5 high-risk glacial lakes into the enhanced MoES GLOF monitoring system, configure automated alert mechanisms, build national capacity in system administration and maintenance, and ensure sustainable handover of the IT infrastructure to MoES.

Tasks and Responsibilities

• Inception with POiB, HMFD MoES IT/GIS Unit and contractors; review of the MoES GLOF monitoring system architecture;
• Assessment of telemetry, communication and IT infrastructure requirements for integrating real-time sensor data from ≥5 installed monitoring stations (Activity 2.4);
• Preparation of the IT integration plan.
• Configuration of telemetry endpoints, data ingestion pipelines and database schemas for real-time water-level and ancillary sensor data;
• Integration of the data feed into the MoES monitoring interface (Activity 2.4 commissioning);
• Definition of redundancy and backup protocols.
• Configuration of automated alert thresholds derived from modelling and field validation (jointly with the Modelling Expert and DRR Expert) for ≥5 lakes;
• Implementation of multi-channel alert dispatching (SMS, email, dashboard);
• User acceptance testing with HMFD duty officers (Activity 2.5).
• On-the-job training of 10 HMFD MoES technical staff in equipment maintenance, data interpretation and basic system administration of the enhanced monitoring interface;
• Development of administrator and user manuals in Russian;
• Preparation of incident response and recovery procedures.
• Final commissioning of the integrated real-time monitoring and alert system;
• Documentation of as-built configuration, system architecture and credentials;
• Formal handover to the MoES IT/GIS Unit;
• Participation in the project closure meeting.
