Job description

We are seeking an exceptional Project Manager to take full responsibility for the delivery of the iconic Jabali Towers project. This senior leadership role requires a seasoned professional to oversee all aspects of the project lifecycle, from detailed design and procurement through to construction, commissioning, and final handover. The Project Manager will be the single point of accountability for delivering this complex, high-value project on time, within budget, and to the highest international standards of quality and safety.

Site Operations & Construction Management :

  • Lead and direct all on-site civil and structural construction activities, from earthworks and foundations to superstructure, facade, and finishing works.
  • Oversee all construction to monitor compliance with building and safety regulations.
  • Develop and implement detailed construction execution plans, ensuring that all works are adequately planned, controlled, and executed in line with the project schedule.
  • Manage and coordinate the activities of all civil works subcontractors, ensuring they have the necessary resources and are aligned with project objectives.
  • Act as the lead technical authority on-site for all civil engineering matters, providing expert, practical solutions to complex construction challenges.

Project Controls & Coordination :

  • Assist in the preparation of accurate project programs, clearly indicating the timeframes and activities involved, and monitor progress against the plan, taking corrective action where required.
  • Serve as the primary technical liaison between the civil / structural works and other disciplines on-site, including MEP, architectural, and infrastructure teams, to ensure seamless integration.
  • Manage and resolve any on-site clashes and coordination issues between different contractors and disciplines to ensure harmonized project delivery.
  • Maintain accurate records of delays and changes that have occurred and assist in preparing claims for variations and time extensions.
  • Quality, Safety & Compliance :

  • Implement and enforce a rigorous Quality Assurance / Quality Control (QA / QC) program to ensure all civil works meet the specified standards and designs.
  • Champion a world-class health and safety culture on-site, ensuring strict adherence to all safety policies and procedures to maintain a safe working environment.
  • Ensure all construction activities are in full compliance with Kenyan building codes, local authority regulations, and international best practices.
  • Leadership & Team Management :

  • Lead, mentor, and motivate the on-site civil engineering and supervision team, fostering a culture of excellence, accountability, and continuous improvement.
  • Coordinate with subcontractors to ensure the provision of an adequate and efficient workforce, aligned with the construction phases and work priorities.
  • Conduct regular progress meetings with contractors and project stakeholders to review performance and address any issues.
  • Requirements

    Hard skills and experience :

  • Education :  A bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering from an internationally recognized university. A master's degree or Professional Chartership (CEng, P.Eng., or equivalent) is highly advantageous.
  • Experience :  A minimum of 10+ years of progressive, post-graduate experience in civil construction management, with a proven track record on high-rise buildings (20+ storeys), mixed-use developments, or other large-scale, complex projects.
  • Industry Background :  Extensive experience working for major international main contractors in a senior site-based role is essential. Experience on landmark, large-scale, master-planned developments or significant high-rise projects internationally is a critical advantage.
  • International Exposure :  Demonstrable, hands-on international project experience in challenging environments is essential.
  • Technical Proficiency :  Expert knowledge of all aspects of civil and structural construction, including deep foundations, reinforced concrete structures, formwork systems, and modern construction methodologies. Proficiency in project management software (e.g., Primavera P6) is required.
  • Project Lifecycle Experience :  Must have experience overseeing projects from the pre-construction phase through to completion and handover.
  • Soft skills :

  • Leadership :  An established and decisive on-site leader with the ability to manage large, culturally diverse teams and drive complex projects to successful completion.
  • Problem-Solving :  Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to provide swift and effective solutions to on-site challenges under pressure.
  • Communication :  Exceptional verbal and written communication skills, capable of effectively liaising with clients, consultants, subcontractors, and senior management.
  • Integrity :  An unwavering commitment to professional integrity, ethical conduct, and upholding the highest standards of quality and safety.
  • Ownership :  A hands-on, results-oriented professional who takes full ownership of the project's civil and structural scope and is driven by successful delivery.
