We are not the employer, we do not conduct these recruitments, and we cannot guarantee what happens once you make contact — you deal directly with the person or company behind the offer, at your own risk.

Mace integrates construction expertise with consultancy to maximize potential across every project and redefine the boundaries of ambition. Our values guide the way we consult and define the individuals we seek to join our team. This role offers the chance to contribute to a cutting-edge landmark project in Rwanda. With years of experience delivering Project Management Consultancy (PMC) services on high-profile aviation projects, we enhance passenger capacity and elevate service standards. Your responsibilities will include developing and executing the Project Commissioning Management Plan, encompassing all civil, structural, MEP, and specialized systems packages. You will create and maintain a comprehensive commissioning schedule, aligned with the master construction program, covering pre-commissioning, commissioning, and integrated testing phases. Additionally, you will lead the Commissioning Coordination Group (CCG) and facilitate seamless interfaces between contractors, designers, and the airport operator. Responsibilities also include overseeing Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT), Site Acceptance Tests (SAT), and Integrated Systems Tests (IST). You will manage the Commissioning Tracker, documenting the completion status of test certificates, witnessed tests, and acceptance criteria sign-offs. Collaboration with the Rwanda Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), and other regulatory bodies will be required for inspections, certifications, and operational approvals. You will oversee the snagging and defect close-out process during commissioning, ensuring all outstanding items are resolved. Coordination of operator familiarization, training, and trial operations will prepare the project for practical completion. Finally, you will manage the handover of all commissioning documentation to the airport operator, including O&M manuals, test records, warranties, and spares schedules. To qualify, you must have at least a decade of experience in testing and commissioning management for major infrastructure, aviation, or complex building projects. Demonstrated expertise in commissioning intricate MEP systems—such as HV/LV distribution, HVAC, fire systems, and standby power—as well as specialized systems like BMS, SCADA, and BHS is essential. Prior experience in airport commissioning, particularly with regulatory bodies like NCAA or equivalents, is highly advantageous. Proficiency in structured commissioning methodologies and documentation standards is required. A degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, or Systems) is necessary, with professional memberships considered a plus. Exceptional organizational skills and strong program management capabilities are vital to overseeing multiple concurrent commissioning initiatives. At Mace

  • Never pay any amount of money — for a file, a training, a uniform, or an interview. A real employer never asks the candidate to pay.
  • Never send a photo of your ID card, passport, or banking details before you have physically verified the employer exists.
  • Always meet in a public place, during the day — never an isolated address, a private home, or a location you cannot verify in advance.
  • Tell a relative or friend exactly where you are going, with whom, and at what time — and share your live location if possible.
  • Search the company name online before going: a real business has a trace (website, reviews, other employees, an official address).
  • A salary that is far above the market rate for the position and the city is a red flag — be extra cautious.
