Q-Sourcing Servtec, the trading name of Q-Sourcing Limited, is a manpower management and recruitment firm working across East Africa, with operations in Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda and South Sudan.

The firm recruits and manages staff for clients in sectors such as oil and gas, construction and engineering, and it regularly advertises roles linked to Uganda's Lake Albert oil projects.

For this vacancy the client is TotalEnergies EP Uganda, the operator of the Tilenga oil project in the Albertine region, which works alongside joint venture partners CNOOC Uganda and the Uganda National Oil Company (UNOC).

The Joint Ventures Officer keeps TotalEnergies in step with its contractual, statutory and regulatory obligations to the authorities on the operated asset. Much of the work is coordination: setting up meetings with the authorities, preparing the work programme and budget approval process with technical teams, chasing regulatory consents on time and filing extra budget requests when spending runs ahead of plan.

The role also owns the paper trail. Every letter to and from the authorities has to be tracked, its requirements identified and acted on within any time limits, and the officer drafts letters for senior managers and minutes for every meeting. The post works closely with technical and finance teams and takes an active part in cost recovery audits, where the authorities review what the company has spent.

In plain terms, this job splits into 3 areas of work. Each list below restates the employer’s duties in shorter words; the advert linked under How To Apply is the final word.
