Project Engineer – EPC (Oil & Gas)

Energi Talent Resourcing is supporting a well-established engineering services organisation delivering EPC solutions across Nigeria’s oil & gas sector. As part of continued project expansion, the company is seeking an experienced Project Engineer to support the successful execution of multidisciplinary engineering and construction programmes.

This role offers the opportunity to take ownership of complex EPC project delivery across technically demanding environments while working closely with senior leadership, site teams, and external stakeholders.

• on schedule
  
• within budget
  
• to specification
  

while supporting operational efficiency and client satisfaction across multiple project phases.

Key Responsibilities

Project Delivery & Execution

• Lead execution of EPC project scopes from mobilisation through completion
  
• Coordinate engineering, procurement, and site teams for seamless delivery
  
• Monitor milestones and manage project timelines proactively
  
• Provide structured progress reporting to internal leadership
  

Budget & Resource Management

• Manage project budgets and forecasting activities
  
• Track material usage, equipment deployment, and cost performance
  
• Identify opportunities to improve delivery efficiency and reduce waste
  
• Support commercial discipline across project execution phases
  

Stakeholder Engagement

This is an opportunity to join a technically credible engineering delivery environment supporting projects critical to Nigeria’s energy infrastructure.

The position offers:

• visibility across full EPC lifecycle delivery
  
• leadership exposure within project environments
  
• opportunity to influence execution performance
  
• long-term career progression within a growing engineering platform
