What We Are Looking For
A Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Engineering degree in Mechatronics, Electrical, Mechanical, Civil Engineering, Quantity Surveying, or Architecture from a reputable Kenyan university is required, as we prioritize domain-specific expertise as the cornerstone of effective planning.
Analytical Horsepower: Prospective candidates must successfully complete comprehensive aptitude assessments, including abstract reasoning, numerical analysis, and critical thinking evaluations. We uphold stringent standards to ensure our team meets the elevated expectations of our international clientele.
Technical Fluency: Expertise or proven capability with Primavera P6, MS Project, or comparable scheduling tools is essential.

Prepare and submit your CV alongside a concise written response (maximum 500 words) addressing this scenario: “A client in the Middle East has requested a mixed-use commercial tower to be structurally completed within 18 months following mobilization. The MEP subcontractor has advised a 4-week delay in rough-in works on levels 12 to 18 due to delayed shop drawing approvals. Additionally, the façade contractor’s schedule is structured to progress floor-by-floor, commencing from Level 10 upward. Identify three critical-path risks resulting from this delay and outline one mitigation strategy for each risk. Ensure all assumptions are explicitly stated.” Qualified candidates are invited to forward their CV to recruitment@excelon.co.ke, with the position clearly mentioned in the subject line of the email.
