Key Responsibilities

• Lead and coordinate the Nigerian engineering team: allocate work, set priorities, and check the quality of output before it is issued.

• Organize the company’s review of engineering partner deliverables ahead of each gate: assign reviewers, consolidate comments, and track them to close-out.
• Manage the civil/structural and technical safety subcontracts: scope, deliverables, schedule, and verification of invoices against progress.
• Act as the client’s routine point of contact in Nigeria, prepare each gate with the Project Manager, and report Nigerian content in line with NCDMB requirements.
• Prepare the technical content of regulatory submissions and support regulatory engagement, which is routed through the client.
• Recruit, coach and appraise the engineers, and prepare the team to carry the design into detailed engineering.
