Submit your CV and a concise written response (no more than 500 words) addressing the following scenario: “A client in the Middle East has requested a mixed-use commercial tower to be structurally completed within 18 months from the start of operations. The mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) subcontractor has forecasted a four-week delay in rough-in works for levels 12 to 18, attributed to pending approvals of shop drawings. Meanwhile, the façade contractor’s schedule follows a floor-by-floor progression, commencing from Level 10 upward. Identify three risks that could impact the critical path due to this delay and recommend one mitigation strategy for each, ensuring all assumptions are explicitly stated.” Qualified applicants are requested to forward their CVs to recruitment@excelon.co.ke, with the position title included in the subject line of the email.
