What Is the Job About?

1. Professional Roles & Disciplines

• Infrastructure Design Engineer: A specialized civil engineering professional responsible for planning, conceptualizing, and developing the structural and functional frameworks for large-scale physical assets, such as roads, utility networks, and site foundations.
• Civil Engineering: A core professional engineering discipline that deals with the design, construction, and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment—including public and private works like roads, bridges, canals, and urban developments.

2. Core Technical Responsibilities

• Roads Design: The engineering process of planning and calculating the geometry, alignment, pavement composition, and safety infrastructure of roadways to ensure safe, efficient vehicular and pedestrian movement.
• Drainage Systems: Engineered networks of channels, pipes, catch basins, and slopes designed to collect, manage, and redirect stormwater or wastewater away from structures, roads, and land plots to prevent flooding and soil erosion.
• Earthworks: Engineering activities that involve moving, cutting, filling, compacting, and reshaping massive quantities of soil or rock to establish a stable, level subgrade or desired contour for construction projects.

3. Design Criteria & Objectives

• Safe: Ensuring that all engineering blueprints and structures comply with structural safety codes, load-bearing regulations, and industry standards to protect human life and property.
• Affordable (Cost-Effective): Balancing structural integrity and material quality with economic constraints, ensuring project budgets are optimized without compromising safety or durability.
• Accurate: Producing precise technical drawings, measurements, and calculations (often using CAD software or surveying data) to prevent costly rework or errors during the construction phase.
• Suitable for Construction: Bridging the gap between conceptual design and physical execution by ensuring plans are practical, buildable, and adaptable to real-world site conditions.

4. Qualifications & Work Arrangements

• BSc (Bachelor of Science) / HND (Higher National Diploma): Academic and professional higher-education qualifications; a BSc is typically an academic university degree, while an HND is a vocationally oriented tertiary qualification focused on practical technical skills.
• On-Site: A work model requiring the employee to be physically present at the office, project sites, or field locations in Abuja, Nigeria, rather than working remotely.

Main Responsibilities

1. Design roads, drainage systems, and other infrastructure.
2. Prepare engineering drawings and technical reports.
3.  Inspect site conditions and review survey information.
4.  Ensure designs meet engineering standards.
5. Work with surveyors, contractors, and other engineers.
6.  Solve engineering design problems.
7.  Provide technical support during construction.

Requirements

To qualify, you need:

1.  A Bachelor's degree or HND in Civil Engineering or a related field.
2. At least 5 years of relevant infrastructure design experience.
