Qualification and Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in a relevant engineering discipline, such as Civil, Structural, Mechanical, Electrical, Instrumentation & Control, Chemical, Process, Industrial or related field. Master’s degree or MBA preferred.

• Professional engineering registration required or strongly preferred depending on sign-off authority: COREN registration for Nigeria-based engineering practice or recognized international Chartered Engineer / Professional Engineer credential with eligibility for Nigerian recognition.

• Strong knowledge of international codes and standards relevant to project scope, such as API, ASME, ASTM, IEC, IEEE, NFPA, BS / Eurocodes, ISO and discipline-specific design standards.

• Demonstrated technical authority, design review, design-change control, constructability and engineering risk-management capability.

• Minimum 20 years engineering and design-management experience on major capital projects, EPC, EPCM, PMC, owner-engineering or construction-support organizations.

• Minimum 10 years leading multidisciplinary engineering teams or engineering managers across civil / structural, mechanical, piping, electrical, instrumentation, process, systems and construction-support interfaces.

• Provide overall technical leadership and engineering governance across all projects, ensuring design assurance, discipline integration, constructability, value engineering, and effective resolution of technical interfaces.

• Establish and enforce engineering management systems, including design review gates, deliverable registers, technical query (TQ) processes, document review cycles, design‑change control, and lessons‑learned frameworks.

• Lead risk‑based engineering decision‑making under schedule and commercial pressure, while maintaining strict adherence to safety, quality, statutory, and regulatory requirements.

• Oversee engineering inputs across the project lifecycle, ensuring seamless coordination between engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning, and handover teams.

• Ensure strong vendor and contractor document review discipline, including equipment data sheets, drawings, calculations, and interface alignment with project requirements.

• Drive constructability and operability reviews, ensuring designs are practical, cost‑effective, and aligned with construction sequencing and commissioning strategies.

• Manage technical risk identification and mitigation, proactively addressing design, interface, and execution risks that could impact cost, schedule, or quality.
