Senior Contract Engineer
MIDROC Consulting Architects and Engineers PLCAbout This Role
This is a contract administration role embedded within a consulting engineering firm, meaning you would sit on the consultant's side of the table rather than the contractor's — reviewing, drafting, and enforcing contract terms on behalf of MIDROC's clients across multiple building projects simultaneously. The position suits an engineer who has spent years on site or in project controls and now wants to specialize in the commercial and contractual side of construction. MIDROC Consulting Architects and Engineers operates within the larger MIDROC Investment Group, so you would be working inside one of Ethiopia's most established conglomerates, with the institutional processes and client expectations that come with that scale.
What the Requirements Say About This Role
The seven-year threshold combined with the eight-projects expectation signals that this employer wants breadth, not just tenure — they are looking for someone who has cycled through enough different building projects to have seen how contracts fail in varied ways, not someone who spent seven years on one large site. The Primavera and MS Project requirement suggests the contract engineer here is expected to link contractual timelines to actual scheduling, meaning claims analysis and delay attribution will likely be part of the daily work. The renewed professional license requirement is a compliance gate; it tells you the firm needs someone whose credentials can withstand client and regulatory scrutiny without administrative follow-up.
How to Approach This Application
Lead with the number and variety of projects you have administered, not just your years of service — name the project types, their scale, and your specific contractual responsibilities on each. If you have handled claims, variations, or dispute resolution, make that explicit, because consulting firms value people who can protect their clients' contractual positions. Mention your software fluency in context (for example, how you used Primavera to assess extension-of-time claims) rather than listing it as a standalone skill, and confirm your license renewal status early in the application so it does not become a question mark.
Who This Role Suits
Best suited to a civil engineer or construction management professional who has moved from site execution into contract administration and wants a permanent consultant-side role with a major group company. Expect meaningful competition — MIDROC's name draws many applicants, and the specific project-count requirement will narrow the pool to genuinely experienced contract professionals.
