Job summary
Site Engineer for a design-and-build upgrade of a rural trunk road corridor in Northern Ghana - earthworks, drainage, RC river crossings and surface-dressed pavement. Resident on site, you are the technical authority on the ground: setting out, supervision, testing and site records. 5+ years in civil works, at least 2 on roads. Upgrade of an existing rural corridor from a poorly conditioned gravel road and unengineered track to an engineered single-carriageway standard. The scope includes clearing, earthworks, geometric improvements, drainage works, replacement of ageing single-lane river crossings with permanent reinforced concrete (RC) structures, and construction of a surface-dressed pavement with a 20-year design life, while maximising the use of suitable in-situ materials. The project is located in savannah terrain with seasonal watercourses and experiences annual wet-season closures. It is a design and build contract. Survey and detailed design run into the early construction months, so you will be building to drawings that are still maturing. You are the technical authority on the ground - the person who sets out the works, checks what is built, and decides what gets covered up and what comes out again.

Requirements
- You report to the Assistant Project Manager and deal daily with the supervising consultant's site staff.
- When a defect is raised, you are the person who explains what happened and what the fix will be.
- You will also work within a live right-of-way through inhabited settlements, where every metre of cross-section taken has consequences for somebody's property.
- Sensible engineering judgment here matters as much as the technical work.
- What We Are Looking For
- Five years minimum in civil works, with at least two on roads - earthworks through to pavement.
- You should have personally set out a road alignment, run a compaction testing regime, and produced site records that stood up during a payment dispute.
- Degree in Civil Engineering, Construction Technology and Management, or related field
- Confident with level and total station
- Fluent in the applicable road standard specification
- Reinforced concrete bridge or major culvert experience, strong advantage
- Able to write a clear technical letter
- Valid driver's licence
- Judgment about when work is good enough and when it isn't, and the nerve to act on it
- Other Information:
- You will be resident at the site camp for the duration. Nearest sizeable town is a drive away.
- What We Offer
- Salary negotiable and based on what you bring.
- Site accommodation, transport, medical cover, and leave rotation.
- You will finish with a full corridor from clearing to surfacing, plus permanent bridge works, on your record.
