Costain West Africa though.... They can lie o

Some years ago, I wanted to do Industrial Attachment there, they said they don't recruit IT interns.

Later found out one of my friends did hers there.

SMH.

These firms hardly recruit engineers with zero post nysc experience

Make I go buy the experience for market??

*Anyways, FTC

hahaha, my dear, these companies can easily take a "SHE" but hardly can they take a "HE"

Here is another man's opinion...

This list is more credible. How can you compare Elalan with JB? Elalan is not even in the league of Cappa and D'alberto, ITB, COBEL and the likes.

The list stated NIgerian owned. Most of the ones listed are foreign companies with Nigerian subsidiaries

El-Alan is not Nigerian owned; its run the same way most expatriates run their company here in Nigeria; get Nigerians into the board of directors, register it as a Nigerian limited liability company and still maintain 95% of the shares.

Only Dantata and Sawoe in your list can boast of being fully Nigerian owned.

Why was SAIPEM missed out in the list?

Please is saipem into construction? I did thought they are involved with the oil and gas sector?

Having worked for some of these firms and in the construction field a while back.

I would say the first poster got it right but with out costain and some others.

You need to divide the list by what area the different construction firms handle.

Whether they are

Structural based
Mechanical and electrical based.

Currentily

Morgan omonitun and chase stand as a first go to for structural jobs.

While Elalan faces both some times but are core structural based

MOA bruneli megawatts electriiks have been known to dabble into structural too but their core business are M&E.

One should not forget the facility management firms also, firms like

Provast(part of the Elalan group)
AB facilities
Are other firms to watch for.

But the list of firms on all three areas are large and new names keep popping up daily.

If one wants a career in constructions and with these firms. One first has to consider where on fits and what want can do for these firms and not just flinging cv's at them and hoping for the best.

I know Elalan, A B facilities, bruneli and a lot of others recruit on a daily basis depending on the constructions or services they are currently handling.

If you have experience/background in facility management, metal works, fitting installations, piping, safety, or just your basic laborer skills. Then there is a chance if you send your cv, the might call you for one of their projects.

But to get it right, always check that these companies have projects their currently handling
E. G sign boards outside a new project development around the island and other place, then copy details and mail or call asking if they need your skills.

Because that's when they are usually recruiting. Also check that your skill matches what the company is handling on the project. E. G Morgan Omonitun (structural), you skill payloader or bobcat operator.

That's how I got my first job with one of the major construction firms.

Hi thanks for this information. I am interested in working with Elalan as a junior construction project manager. My MSc is in construction project management and Bsc in estate management. I wanted to ask how the recruitment process goes. Do they ask interview behavioural questions or technical questions or both. Secondly, I have no experience in this field so do you think there is a chance for me and lastly what salary range should I have in mind if called? Because I don't want to blow my chances. Thanks look forward to your response.

Please guys, seriously seeking for internship placement in a reputable civil engineering firm.

Costain west Africa has no level again they do subcontract jobs to my former company the last time I was there the whole place looks rough kind of.

This list is not complete without Mother Cat, Gilmore, PW nd Datum

Please do you have an idea on staff welfare at James cubitt?

Thanks boss

brianromel:
People say architecture jobs in Julius Berger. Please ask yourselves why would jb recruit architects.

From working with contract firms that work with jb I have come to understand that that job is usually outsourced to architectural firms internationally, locally to a few firms like James Cubitt

Big firms like Costain and jb only handle structural thousands road building and building carcass.

When a project is sited for development jobs are alloted to various firms.

Architectural
Structural
M&E

Find the area you role or skill fits and search and apply accordingly.

Don't waste your time going after the wrong firm with the wrong role.

E. G architect applying to structural firm, cappa dlbarto, jb, costain. Erong

Mechanical applying in an architectural firm, wrong

Most times you won't get a reply.

Noted
Meanwhile if u need an excavator operator
Or u need heavy duty machine for daily work

Please I would like to know how much Setraco pays their engineers. So I can know if I would leave my present employment for that one. Please I need an answer urgently.
