About This Role

This is a hands-on site leadership position with a smaller private contractor, meaning you will likely be the person making daily calls on labour allocation, material delivery, and subcontractor sequencing rather than sitting in a distant head office. Akille operates in printing and finishing work, so the construction side of the business probably involves facility build-outs, renovations, or workshop-related civil works rather than large-scale public infrastructure. It suits someone who is comfortable carrying a project from groundwork through handover with limited support staff.

What the Requirements Say About This Role

The three-year threshold signals they want someone past the trainee stage who has already run at least one full project cycle and learned from the mistakes that come with it. The emphasis on coordination and safety compliance suggests the real test is managing people and paperwork simultaneously, not technical design ability. Two openings for the same role hints at either an expanding project pipeline or a need to cover multiple sites at once, so expect to be stretched across more than one workstream.

How to Approach This Application

Because this is an in-person application at CMC, prepare a physical dossier rather than relying on email - bring your CV, copies of degrees, and any evidence of projects you have delivered. Lead with concrete numbers: square metres completed, budget size managed, crew size supervised, and timelines met. The employer is likely a practical operator who values demonstrated delivery over polished presentation, so mention specific safety or compliance practices you have implemented on past sites.

Best Fit

Who This Role Suits

Best suited to a mid-career construction professional with contractor-side experience who can work with minimal supervision and communicate in Amharic with site crews. Competition is likely moderate, since the in-person application format filters out many applicants, but the narrow sector focus may also limit the pool of qualified candidates.
