Justdiggit is hiring an expert in landscape restoration and agroforestry with experience in remote sensing.
Justdiggit helps farmers in Sub-Saharan Africa to restore degraded landscapes using rainwater harvesting, agroforestry, and climate-resilient agriculture. While our main programs are in Kenya and Tanzania, they are also active in Togo, Ethiopia, and Madagascar.
In the coming years, the company plans to start up new programs in other regions and is developing a ‘Regreen app’ to spread the knowledge of regreening to all farmers with an internet-connected phone.
Furthermore, the company has awareness campaigns throughout Europe and Africa.
Justdiggit has offices in Amsterdam and Nairobi, from where they work closely with implementing partners to initiate, implement, and monitor landscape restoration programs.
The number of landscapes that we are working in keeps on growing and diversifying: from the semi-arid rangelands of Kenya to smallholder farmlands in Tanzania and agroforestry schemes in Togo.
Justdiggit seeks someone with deep knowledge of all aspects of landscape restoration (from soil and water conservation to agroforestry, all nature-based solutions) and a keen eye for both technical innovations, as well as social factors that influence its success.

They are looking for someone with a sound theoretical background who also has extensive practical experience and can apply theory to project design and implementation.
You’ll work closely with the Chief Technical Officer, and you’ll be involved in all aspects of our landscape restoration work: from carrying out desk studies on restoration suitability, deciding on which intervention techniques will be implemented where to training and guiding our implementing partners and identifying new opportunities to monitor our impact.
Furthermore, you’ll support the rest of the Justdiggit team with knowledge and experience on regreening: from answering technical questions from donors to scouting new technologies to visualize our impact even better.
Justdiggit committed to building a team that includes and welcomes people of different genders, ethnicities, faiths, sexual orientations, and other diverse backgrounds.
