About This Role

This is a hands-on ground-floor opportunity for a fresh engineering graduate to enter the industrial manufacturing sector. You will be responsible for the entire upstream supply chain of raw material for a new bottle factory, overseeing everything from digging in the earth to preparing sand for the furnace. It suits a candidate who is comfortable working in a remote, dusty environment and wants to build a career in production management rather than design or consulting.

What the Requirements Say About This Role

While the listing asks for supervision of extraction and quality, the real need is for someone who can enforce discipline and safety in a challenging outdoor setting. The employer is likely looking for a candidate with strong observational skills and the ability to report accurately, not just technical textbook knowledge. They are likely prioritizing a person who is humble, physically present, and willing to learn the gritty details of mining operations from day one.

How to Approach This Application

In your application, do not just list your academic projects; instead, emphasize any experience you have working under pressure or in remote field conditions. The employer needs to trust that you will show up reliably to a site far from Addis, so explicitly confirm your willingness to relocate and work in Jema. Highlighting a basic understanding of quality control for raw materials (like particle size and moisture content) will set you apart from other fresh graduates.

Best Fit

Who This Role Suits

This role is best suited for a disciplined, practical-minded recent graduate eager to kick-start a career in manufacturing or mining operations. Competition is likely moderate, as the remote location and specific industry will narrow the applicant pool.
