Consultant, Web Dashboard Developer-Government Data Integration

This position is with EAII Advisors, Evidence Action s technical partner in India.

The Role

Government water systems (JJM-IMIS, AP Mana Mitra, RWSS) carry uncertain Power BI licensing, and EAII s current Inline Chlorination (ILC) reporting depends on Power BI - a tool that cannot be embedded natively into state portals or shared with officials who lack licences. This role reports to the Manager, Safe Water Operations. In this role, you will build and harden a lightweight, fully org-owned alternative: standalone HTML/CSS/JavaScript dashboards fed from public Google Sheets CSV exports and REST/JSON endpoints. This removes the licensing barrier, deploys anywhere, and gives EAII full ownership of its reporting stack for the India Safe Water - Inline Chlorination (ISW-ILC) programme.
