We are seeking a highly experienced and strategic Senior Civil Engineer to take a leading role in the design and delivery of large-scale urban infrastructure. This pivotal position requires a seasoned professional with deep analytical and design skills in city-scale infrastructure, including roads, utilities, and advanced stormwater management systems. The ideal candidate will be a hands-on leader, capable of guiding projects from conceptual design through to site supervision and completion. A critical aspect of this role is the mandatory, close collaboration with urban designers and landscape architects to create integrated, sustainable, and resilient urban environments. This is a unique opportunity for an expert engineer to make a significant impact on the development of major city projects.Infrastructure Design & Technical Analysis Lead the conceptual, preliminary, and detailed design of all civil infrastructure for large-scale urban developments, including road networks (geometric and pavement design), potable water distribution, and wastewater collection systems. Conduct and oversee comprehensive hydrological and hydraulic modeling for stormwater management systems, including flood-line analysis and the design of sustainable urban drainage systems (SuDS). Prepare and approve high-quality engineering documentation, including detailed calculations, technical reports, specifications, and construction drawings, ensuring compliance with international and local standards. Utilize advanced infrastructure modeling tools to analyze and optimize designs for efficiency, constructability, and long-term performance. Project Execution & Site Supervision Provide expert technical oversight during the construction phase, ensuring all works are executed in strict accordance with design specifications, quality standards, and safety regulations. Conduct regular site inspections to monitor progress, identify potential issues, and provide decisive on-site solutions to technical challenges and contractor queries. Manage the review and approval of construction materials and contractor submittals to ensure they meet design requirements and quality benchmarks. Serve as the primary technical point of contact between the design office and the construction site, ensuring seamless communication and rapid resolution of issues. Integrated Design & Stakeholder Coordination Mandatory: Work in close and continuous coordination with urban designers and landscape architects to ensure that infrastructure design is seamlessly integrated with the overall masterplan and public realm vision. Participate in integrated design workshops to align road corridors, utility easements, and stormwater strategies with urban planning and landscape architecture objectives. Liaise effectively with government agencies, regulatory bodies, utility providers, and other external stakeholders to facilitate project approvals and ensure compliance. Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior engineers, fostering a culture of technical excellence and collaborative problem-solving within the team.RequirementsKey Qualifications & Experience: Bachelor’s Degree in Civil Engineering or a closely related field (mandatory). Minimum of 10 years’ hands-on experience in the design and site supervision of civil infrastructure for large-scale developments. Proven expertise in the design of roads, water and sewer networks, stormwater management systems, and flood risk assessments. Solid understanding of international design standards (e.g., AASHTO) and familiarity with local regulations. Skilled in Autodesk Civil 3D, Infraworks, and hydrology/hydraulic modeling tools such as HEC-RAS, StormCAD, WaterGEMS, or SewerGEMS. Proficiency in AutoCAD, Revit, and Navisworks is an added advantage. Experience working collaboratively with urban designers and landscape architects on multi-disciplinary projects. Preferred Qualifications: Experience in Kenya or the East Africa region. Professional Engineer (PE) registration or eligibility with EBK or an equivalent body. Master’s degree in Water Resources, Transportation, or Urban Engineering is an advantage. Soft Skills: Strong communicator, able to translate complex engineering concepts for diverse stakeholders. Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and critical-thinking abilities. Proven leadership and mentorship skills, with experience guiding junior engineers. Effective stakeholder management and coordination with clients, authorities, and contractors.
