About This Role
This is a quantity surveying-oriented civil engineering post embedded in a real estate developer's construction operations, not a design role. The daily work revolves around the commercial and documentary side of building projects — measuring what has been built, pricing it, and producing the paper trail that supports payments and progress reporting. It suits an early-career engineer who is comfortable with numbers and documentation rather than site supervision or structural design, and who wants to learn how a developer controls cost and contract administration from the inside.
What the Requirements Say About This Role
The two-year minimum tells you the employer wants someone who has already seen a full project cycle and won't need to be taught how a bill of quantities or payment certificate works from scratch. Naming only AutoCAD and Excel — rather than a full quantity surveying package — signals a lean, spreadsheet-driven workflow where manual measurement and careful data handling matter more than specialized software. The emphasis on payment documents and reporting suggests they are hiring for accuracy and accountability, someone whose work will be checked and audited.
How to Approach This Application
Your CV should make measurement and payment work visible — any experience preparing take-offs, interim payment certificates, or progress reports deserves specific mention, with project types and sizes where possible. Since the contact is a personal email address rather than a corporate one, keep your submission clean and professional: a well-named PDF CV, a short covering note in the body of the email, and scanned supporting documents in one file. Demonstrate Excel competence concretely, for example by describing templates or tracking sheets you have built, as this is likely a working tool from day one.
Who This Role Suits
Best suited to a junior civil engineer or construction management graduate who has spent a year or two on the commercial/documentation side of building projects and wants to grow within a developer. Expect a moderately competitive pool, since real estate developers in Addis attract many applicants, but candidates with genuine take-off and payment documentation experience will stand out clearly.

- Preparation and review of payment documents.
