This is a fixed-term engagement (initially two years, maximum three) specifically for experienced professionals to support EIL’s construction work on Dangote Fertiliser Projects abroad. Remuneration is consolidated and city-category based for the grades where it is printed; foreign-posting allowances are additional as per company rules. There is no claim to regular appointment.
Best fit: Engineers with 5–13 years of relevant construction experience in refinery, petrochemical, fertiliser, power or nuclear plants who are willing to work on foreign sites.
Who should skip: Candidates seeking a permanent government cadre post or those who cannot produce original experience certificates and supporting documents at short notice.
Practical tip: Register as soon as the window opens and ensure the registered email remains active for at least 24 months, because the interview call and all further communication arrive only by email.
