Job Description: Logistic Officer – Fashion Forward: Promoting a Just Transition for RMG Workers

Position Title: Logistic Officer

Location: Dhaka, Bangladesh

Reports To: Project Manager

Project Overview:

Bangladesh is highly vulnerable to climate change, which, combined with inequality, demands urgent and bold action. Currently, both the government and the Ready-Made Garments (RMG) sectors are not held accountable for switching to renewable energy sources, meaning that workers and their communities may suffer the most from this transition. An unfair transition that worsens inequalities could lead to resistance from the public and workers, slowing down the shift in the global garment industry in Bangladesh and harming the lives, health, and jobs of the population and workers.

To tackle these issues, Safety and Rights Society (SRS), with support from Oxfam in Bangladesh, has launched a project to empower RMG workers to take collective action for a fair energy transition that secures jobs and livelihoods for them and their communities. The project aims to ensure workers are actively involved in the transition by equipping them with the necessary knowledge, skills, and strategies to participate meaningfully in clean energy initiatives.

The Logistic Officer will ensure the smooth operation of logistical and procurement activities for the project, so that Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), Women’s Rights Organizations (WROs), and Trade Unions (TUs) can work together to influence discussions with the government, RMG sector leaders, and financial institutions. The goal is to set inclusive targets for mobilizing resources and creating 4.1 million climate-resilient jobs as outlined in various national plans, including the MCPP, revised NDC, NAP, and BCCSAP.
