We are looking for a rare breed.\nAn engineer whose authority comes from competence rather than title.\nA leader who can walk into a generator room, diagnose a complex mechanical-electrical fault, fix and lead teams to fix faults, then walk into a boardroom an hour later and explain technical issues to CEOs and senior executives in language they understand.\nYou are an engineer first. A leader second. A problem solver always. You don't wait to be told. You see problems before they become failures. You read trends from the BMS, understand what the electrical data is telling you, recognise abnormal equipment behaviour, and intervene before alarms become outages.\nYou will serve as the single point of technical authority for one of Nigeria's managers of sophisticated facilities, managing an integrated power infrastructure comprising:\nNational Grid Supply, Utility-scale Solar PV Hybrid System, Multiple Large Capacity CAT/CUMMINS/PERKINS Diesel Generator Sets, Automated ATS/AMF Switching Systems\nHV & LV Distribution Networks, UPS & Battery Backup Systems, Mission-critical Building Services\nModern Building Management Systems (BMS)\nBeyond technical excellence, you will lead multidisciplinary engineering teams, represent IFS before demanding clients, develop engineering talent, and help build Africa's most respected maintenance and facility management company.\nYour Mission\nYou will be responsible for the technical integrity, reliability, availability and continuous improvement of every critical engineering system on client sites. You will ensure that our client's operations never stop because engineering failed.\nKey Responsibilities\n1. Power Systems Leadership\nProvide complete technical ownership of the clients facilities integrated power infrastructure, including:National Grid supply, Solar PV and Hybrid Energy Systems, CAT Diesel Generator Plant\nATS/AMF Automatic Transfer Systems, UPS and Battery Backup Systems, HV/LV Distribution Networks, Power Quality Systems, Earthing & Lightning Protection Systems\nYou will:\nLead daily operation and optimisation of the entire power architecture.\nMaintain uninterrupted electrical supply across all facility zones.\nMonitor generator loading, efficiency, fuel consumption and availability.\nOptimise solar utilisation to minimise diesel consumption.\nManage ATS/AMF logic, transfer sequencing and operational reliability.\nPlan and supervise preventive maintenance of all generators and electrical assets.\nManage diesel procurement, storage, reconciliation and consumption reporting.\nEnsure all statutory electrical inspections are completed.\n2. Engineering Excellence\nYou will be the highest technical authority on and for client sites\nThis means:Diagnosing complex electrical faults, Leading root cause investigations.\nApproving corrective actions, Reviewing technical reports, Signing off all major electrical works.\nCoaching engineers through difficult troubleshooting,\nYou will never accept replacing parts without understanding why they failed.\nEvery significant failure must produce:\nRoot Cause Analysis\nCorrective Actions\nPreventive Actions\nLessons Learned\n3. Building Engineering & MEP Systems\nProvide technical leadership across all critical building services, including:\nHVAC Systems (VRV, Chillers, AHUs), Mechanical Plant, Electrical Systems, Plumbing Services\nWater Treatment, Fire Detection, FM-200 Systems, Passenger Lifts, Stage Elevators, Dumbwaiters\nBMS, UPS Systems,\nYou will ensure preventive maintenance compliance exceeds 95% while driving continual improvements in plant reliability.\n4. High Voltage & Electrical Safety\nTake full responsibility for:HV Switching Operations, Switching Schedules, Isolation Procedures\nPermit to Work, Lock Out / Tag Out, Earthing Procedures, Electrical Safety Compliance\nSafety is never delegated.\n6. Energy Performance\nLead initiatives that reduce operating costs through engineering excellence.\nThis includes:Load Profiling, Demand Management, Power Factor Improvement, Solar Dispatch Optimisation, Generator Efficiency Improvements, Fuel Consumption Reduction, Energy Benchmarking\nSuccess will be measured through measurable annual reductions in energy costs without compromising reliability.\n7. Client Leadership\nServe as the principal technical representative of IFS.\nYou will:Attend executive client meetings, Present engineering reports, Explain technical issues clearly, Provide strategic advice, Build confidence through competence, Ensure clients hear about risks from you before they discover them themselves.\n9. Reporting & Governance\nPrepare executive-quality monthly reports covering:\nAsset Reliability, Equipment Availability, Preventive Maintenance Performance, Breakdown Analysis, Diesel Consumption, Energy Performance, Asset Condition, Engineering Risks, Planned Improvements, Budget Performance\nYour reports should support executive decision-making, not simply record activities.\n10. Health, Safety & Compliance\nChampion a zero-harm engineering culture by ensuring full compliance with:\nNigerian electrical regulations, COREN requirements, HSE legislation, Permit to Work procedures, Risk Assessments, Method Statements, Contractor Management, IFS Safety Standards","description_format":"text","description_chars":5322,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Facilities Management"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-29T14:39:19Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":7,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.242,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":126,"expected_fill_days":29,"reasons":["conf:3","stale_co","ghost","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-31T05:58:55Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/ifs-international-facilities-services-chief-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/ifs-international-facilities-services-chief-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-31T14:06:10Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":21894,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-01T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":4485776},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4485776"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fifs-international-facilities-services-chief-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fifs-international-facilities-services-chief-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fifs-international-facilities-services-chief-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/ifs-international-facilities-services-chief-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fifs-international-facilities-services-chief-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3463475}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"ifs-ng.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3463475},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
