About the Organization
China Civil Engineering Ethiopia Construction Co., Ltd. (CCECC Ethiopia) is a premier international contractor with a formidable presence in Northeast Africa. Headquartered in Addis Ababa, CCECC Ethiopia manages a vast portfolio of infrastructure projects spanning six countries, including Djibouti, Kenya, South Sudan, Somalia, and Eritrea. The company is a leader in the construction of railways, highways, municipal engineering, and large-scale building projects, currently overseeing more than 30 active sites.
For the high-profile Ethiopia-Djibouti Transport Corridor Project, CCECC has partnered with the Sichuan Road & Bridge Group and the China Railway First Survey and Design Institute Group Co., Ltd. (FSDI). FSDI is a top-tier state-owned enterprise in China, renowned for its technical prowess in transportation infrastructure survey and design. This collaboration brings together global expertise and local knowledge to deliver a high-quality expressway that meets the rigorous demands of international commerce.
The project focuses on Section 1 of the Mieso-Dire Dawa Expressway, covering a total distance of 73 kilometers. This corridor is a lifeline for regional trade, and our mission is to ensure it is built to the highest safety and durability standards. We are committed to localized development, integrating Ethiopian professionals into our design teams to foster a sustainable exchange of technical knowledge and engineering excellence.
Our organizational culture is defined by professionalism, a strong sense of responsibility, and a commitment to environmental and safety standards. We provide a workspace that challenges engineers to apply their expertise to complex geological and structural problems while working within an international framework. At CCECC, we value meticulous attention to detail and a dedication to meeting project milestones with excellence.
CCECC Ethiopia is a staunch advocate for inclusive growth and equal opportunity. We recognize the immense talent within the Ethiopian engineering community and explicitly encourage women and individuals from underrepresented groups to apply for these senior engineering roles. We are dedicated to providing a professional environment where all citizens can contribute to the high-quality development of their nation’s transportation infrastructure.
Job Description and Strategic Impact
The Ethiopia-Djibouti Transport Corridor Project is seeking senior-level Geometric, Materials, Structural, and Geotechnical Engineers to lead critical design and implementation phases. These roles are strategically essential for the Mieso-Dire Dawa Expressway, a project that will drastically improve the efficiency of goods moving between Ethiopia and the port of Djibouti. Your technical leadership will ensure that this infrastructure is safe, efficient, and capable of supporting the region’s economic future.
As a Geometric Design Engineer, you will be responsible for the horizontal and vertical alignment of the expressway, ensuring the route is optimized for topography and international safety standards. The Materials & Pavement Engineer focuses on the durability of the road surface, designing material mix ratios that can withstand heavy transport loads and varied climatic conditions. Your work ensures the longevity of the project and reduces long-term maintenance costs.
The Structural Engineer oversees the design and integrity of bridges, culverts, and underpasses. In a region with complex terrain, your structural expertise is vital to maintaining connectivity and safety. Meanwhile, the Geotechnical Engineer addresses the foundation of the project, analyzing soil data and developing solutions for challenging ground conditions. Together, this multidisciplinary team forms the technical backbone of one of Ethiopia’s most significant transport initiatives.
These roles offer profound career development opportunities. You will be integrated into the FSDI design team, working alongside international experts and using advanced engineering software like Civil 3D. The project provides a unique platform to master AASHTO and ERA standards at a massive scale. For experienced engineers, this is an opportunity to leave a lasting legacy on Ethiopia’s industrial landscape.
Ultimately, your impact goes beyond technical drawings; you are helping to build the “economic backbone” of the country. By resolving construction-related design issues on-site and ensuring compliance with the highest engineering standards, you ensure that the Ethiopia-Djibouti corridor remains a safe and reliable path for millions. Join CCECC and take your place at the forefront of East African infrastructure development.
