Engineering Service Corps

EWB-USA’s Engineering Service Corps program draws on the expertise of our most seasoned volunteers  from across engineering disciplines and industry sectors. We respond to requests for engineering project support from governments, international NGOs, United Nations agencies, local communities and other institutions who lack access to the necessary technical resources to address the engineering challenges facing some of the world’s most vulnerable populations.

Projects vary greatly in scale and duration, with focus areas of expertise in disaster response,  infrastructure, agriculture, energy and water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH). Our volunteers work as part of an integral team that performs a variety of services, including engineering studies, owner’s representation, planning, design, project management, training, and monitoring and evaluation.

Volunteer Opportunities

The Engineering Service Corps is comprised of volunteers with several years of both professional and international experience. Engineering Service Corps assignments range from several weeks overseas to a home-based design review that requires no travel at all. Responses to project requests are crafted on a case-by-case basis and depend entirely upon the project needs and role required of the volunteer.
