About This Role

This is a site leadership position within one of Ethiopia's largest conglomerates, where you would serve as the company's primary technical authority on a construction project. MIDROC Consulting's scale means you would likely rotate across substantial commercial or industrial developments rather than small builds, coordinating contractors, consultants, and client representatives daily. The contract-based structure signals project-driven hiring, so the role suits engineers who are comfortable with defined-term commitments and intense site presence.

What the Requirements Say About This Role

The advertised mid-level tag sits uneasily beside the ten-year experience floor and four-year resident engineer minimum — this is really a seasoned supervisory profile, and the gap tells you MIDROC wants someone who has already carried full site responsibility, not someone stepping up into it. The emphasis on contract administration and material submittal review points to a role where documentation discipline and FIDIC-style contract literacy matter as much as technical construction knowledge. In practice, they are screening for engineers who can hold contractors accountable without escalating every dispute to head office.

How to Approach This Application

Lead with specific projects where you held sign-off authority — contract values, contractor names, and your decision-making scope will carry more weight than a list of duties. MIDROC's group structure rewards candidates who can show familiarity with Ethiopian construction regulations and prior experience on large institutional or industrial builds. If your CV shows steady progression from site engineer to resident engineer with clear dates, make that trajectory visible on the first page.

Best Fit

Who This Role Suits

Best suited to engineers with a decade of site supervision behind them who want a high-responsibility contract role with a major group; expect stiff competition given only two openings and MIDROC's reputation as a career springboard.
