The posting

Alaro City Development FZC is an integrated, mixed-use city planned for

over 2,000 hectares in the North West Quadrant of the Lekki Free Zone.

Alaro City’s vision goes beyond alleviating what is a self-evident problem –

that of stifling urban congestion and a dearth of quality housing and

commercial property in Lagos and Africa as a whole. Rather, we aim to help

create the infrastructure – the living and working spaces, communities,

schools, and hospitals – that will help sustain and accelerate Nigeria’s

economic growth, meet the aspirations of Africa’s burgeoning middle

classes, and serve as a catalyst for further urban development.

The people in our team are multi-skilled and experts in their respective

fields. They possess a unique drive, underpinned by the desire to help

improve Africa’s urban development.

The company is looking to grow its utilities business by hiring a head of city utilities.

  • Implement and ensure enforcement of best practices, policies and procedures for the utilities businesses.
  • Establish and maintain effective working relationships with other departments, regulatory agencies, consultants and customers.

Requirements
