Loads, selections, duct routes, hydronics, you own the technical backbone that makes a building breathe properly. On the sharper days, you’re deep in HAP models, testing assumptions, and balancing efficiency against capex. Other days you’re in ceiling voids, troubleshooting controls logic, explaining static pressure realities to contractors, and smoothing out the commissioning plan so TAB goes cleanly the first time. Your decisions ripple into utility bills, tenant satisfaction, and even future retrofit costs, so precision matters. Expect constant negotiation with architects and the broader MEP team, finding space for ducts that magically weren’t in the render, adjusting pipe runs, and keeping the acoustic footprint civilized. When commissioning time comes, you lead the dance: witness tests, trend logs, set-point policies, and the quiet pride of watching a system hit its comfort targets without energy waste.

Project Engineer – EPC (Industrial Builds)
Openings: 1 Location: Nairobi – Karen Hardy (Lang’ata South / Bogani belt) Overview: This Project Engineer role drops you into the engine room of industrial EPC delivery where warehouses, utilities, and process units move from drawings to steel, concrete, and humming equipment. You’re the person stitching together scope clarity, risk discipline, vendor performance, and on-site execution so the client sees momentum instead of excuses. Think of it as equal parts orchestration and damage control, with a premium on foresight. Some days are spreadsheets, baselines, and cash-flow timing; others are sweaty boots-on-ground sessions corralling civil, MEP, and specialist vendors into the same reality. Long-lead procurement, those make-or-break items that decide the entire schedule sits firmly on your desk. So do FAT/SAT plans, interface meetings, and the diplomatic art of making subcontractors stick to agreements without blowing up relationships. Expect curveballs: drawings that don’t match site conditions, vendors who slip, clients who change priorities mid-stream. Your value shows up in how quickly you frame risks, negotiate changes, and recalibrate the schedule without losing cost control. Documentation must stay sharp progress logs, variation claims, test packs, and commissioning records that leave no gaps during handover. If you have 5–7 years in EPC or industrial builds and can blend planning, negotiation, and technical coordination, this is a strong fit.

On the concrete side, you’ll design mixes, supervise trial batches, and run cube tests that keep strength, workability, and cost in balance. Asphalt brings its own rhythm: density checks, bitumen content verification, and keeping plant QC tight enough that a single bad truck doesn’t compromise an entire stretch of road. Documentation must stay sharp temperature logs, calibration records, sampling chains, and test sheets that auditors won’t challenge. You’ll also act as the trouble-shooter when things go sideways: early cracks, segregation, compaction issues, or failed tests. Investigations need to be calm, methodical, and grounded in standards (ASTM/BS), followed by fixes that the client and contractors can actually implement on the next shift. Your success is measured not just in pass rates but in how little rework, waste, and dispute you allow onto the project. Candidates with 4–6 years in concrete/asphalt QC, plus a solid grip on lab methods, SPC, and specs, will fit well.
