Project Officer
Projects · Lagos · Full-time
The Project Officer keeps our projects moving on site. You will sit between the Project Manager, the design team and our contractors and vendors, making sure what is designed is what gets built, on time and to Icora's finish standard. You will typically run several projects at once, from strip-out through to handover. The role suits someone who is organised, calm under pressure and has a sharp eye for detail.
