About Us

Space for Giants is an international conservation organisation, based in Africa, founded in 2011. Our mission is to protect the natural ecosystems on which Africa’s large wild animals depend, ensuring they are valued by local people. We currently work in 11 countries across Central, East, and Southern Africa, focusing on some of the most pressing challenges facing the conservation of megafauna today. We have three thematic pillars of work to achieve our mission, which are: 1) The protection and management of natural ecosystems and associated value creation for local citizens; 2) Combating the illegal wildlife trade; and 3) Promoting Human-Wildlife Coexistence. We pride ourselves on our highly collaborative approach with national governments, recognizing the importance of being relevant to elected leaders and their constituents, striving to ensure that our conservation work is aligned with their priorities.

Role Summary

This position supports the management of Earthranger and other conservation technology platforms at Pian Upe Wildlife Reserve. We are seeking a technically skilled individual with a strong ability to learn quickly, troubleshoot hardware/software systems, and mentor others in their use.

The ideal candidate will have a background in IT, field technology, or a related discipline, along with a willingness to work in a remote, low-connectivity environment. While prior experience in protected area technologies is beneficial, we value problem-solving aptitude, adaptability, and a passion for knowledge-sharing just as highly.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Ensure smooth operation of conservation technology (Earthranger, sensors, communications equipment, etc.).

  • Train, guide, and upskill reserve staff in using technical systems.

  • Support data collection, accuracy, and reporting for monitoring & evaluation (M&E).

  • Troubleshoot hardware, software, and connectivity challenges in a field setting.

  • Assist in maintaining field infrastructure and logistics for conservation operations.

  • Integration and data cleaning/warehousing for data processing.

  • Display data to be analyzed by operations-focused staff.

  • Learn quickly and share knowledge with other team members.

Job Description

  • Integrate all trackable assets (vehicles, ranger patrols, wildlife collars, sensors, etc.) into Earthranger for real-time monitoring.

  • Program and update patrols, missions, and conservation activities in EarthRanger as required to comply with the UWA national system.

2. Training & Capacity Building

  • Conduct training sessions for PUWR staff on EarthRanger (web and mobile app), ensuring effective adoption and usage.

  • Provide ongoing technical mentorship to field personnel, improving their ability to utilize conservation tech independently.

3. Data Monitoring & Reporting

  • Monitor EarthRanger and connected systems to ensure maximum data utilization for law enforcement (LE), counter-poaching (CC), and human-wildlife conflict (HWC) operations.

  • Develop custom dashboards, automated reports, and analytics tools to support decision-making by management and stakeholders.

4. IT & Field Technology Support

  • Provide IT and communications (ICT) support for reserve operations, including hardware, software, and network troubleshooting.

  • Assess existing ICT infrastructure, identify gaps, and recommend upgrades or modifications to improve efficiency.

  • Assist in the maintenance and repair of field equipment (GPS devices, radios, cameras, sensors, etc.).

5. Additional Responsibilities

  • Perform any other relevant tasks as assigned by the Reserve Manager or Supervisor to support conservation technology and operations.
