CIVIL ENGINEER AT ROCAD CONSTRUCTION LIMITED | CIVIL ENGINEER JOBS IN ADAMAWA & KANO

About Company:

Mission To protect our reputation for extremely short construction schedules and quality performance in accordance with international standards achieved through seasoned trained and experienced Nigerian workforce and a fleet of modern construction equipments.

Job Description:

ROCAD CONSTRUCTION is seeking a high-performance Civil Engineer to lead the technical and practical execution of major road construction projects across Northern Nigeria (Kano, Adamawa, etc.). This is a "boots-on-the-ground" engineering role designed for a professional who is as comfortable in AutoCAD as they are supervising asphalt laying on-site.

You will be responsible for the full lifecycle of road infrastructure—from interpreting complex engineering drawings to managing earthworks, drainage systems, and pavement structures. If you possess 5+ years of hands-on experience and a relentless focus on material quality and project timelines, we want you to build the future of Nigerian infrastructure with us.

Requirements:

1. Site Engineering & Execution Oversight

• End-to-End Supervision: Plan and execute road projects from site clearing to final asphalt surfacing, ensuring every layer meets design specifications.

• Structural Works: Oversee the construction of culverts, intricate drainage systems, and heavy pavement structures to ensure long-term durability.

• Earthworks Management: Direct soil stabilization, grading, and compaction activities, ensuring the sub-base and base layers are engineered to standard.

2. Technical Design & Material Quality Control

• CAD Proficiency: Use AutoCAD and Autodesk Civil 3D to read, modify, and produce high-precision engineering drawings and site layouts.

• Material Integrity: Conduct rigorous quality control on construction materials including asphalt, bitumen, aggregates, and concrete, ensuring compliance with testing standards.

• Quantity Surveying: Support project planning through accurate quantity take-offs and the preparation of Bill of Quantities (BOQ).

3. Project Management & Site Reporting

• Operational Coordination: Synchronize the activities of surveyors, contractors, and labor crews to maintain project momentum.

• Performance Documentation: Prepare daily and weekly site progress reports, material usage logs, and technical documentation for executive review.

• Safety & Standards: Enforce strict adherence to engineering standards and safety regulations, proactively resolving technical challenges as they arise on-site.

Qualifications and Skills:

Professional Profile

• Experience: Minimum of 5 years of verifiable practical experience in road construction projects.

• Technical Mastery: Deep hands-on knowledge of asphalt works, culverts, and pavement layers.

• Software: High proficiency in AutoCAD/Autodesk suite and project measurement tools.

• Mobility: Must be willing to travel or relocate to project sites in Kano, Adamawa, and other Northern Nigerian states.

Core Competencies

• Material Science: Sound knowledge of road construction materials and standard testing methods (CBR, compaction tests, etc.).

• Leadership: Strong ability to manage large on-site teams and subcontractors under pressure.

• Problem Solving: A "find-a-way" mindset for resolving site-based technical bottlenecks.
