About the Project – Katyavala Bwila University | Benguela
The expansion of Katyavala Bwila University in Benguela represents an important investment in the future of education and human capital development in Angola.
Developed in partnership with the Government of Angola, this project aims to strengthen access to quality higher education through the construction of modern academic infrastructure designed to provide better conditions for students, professors and future generations.
More than constructing buildings, this project is about creating an environment where knowledge, innovation and talent can grow — supporting the development of skilled professionals who will contribute to Angola’s future.
By delivering impactful infrastructure across key sectors such as education, healthcare, energy, water and urban development, Mitrelli continues to build sustainable solutions that improve lives and create long-term value for communities.
About the role:
We are seeking an experienced Project Director to lead the delivery of complex civil infrastructure projects. This role is essential to ensuring projects are completed on time, within budget, and to the highest standards of quality and safety.
The ideal candidate brings extensive experience on the contractor’s side, with a solid background in contract management, negotiation, and large-scale project delivery in multicultural environments. A deep understanding of construction methodologies, local regulatory frameworks (ideally in Africa), and stakeholder coordination is essential. Must have a degree in Civil Engineering & other degrees will not be considered.

Preparing for Interviews at Mitrelli
At Mitrelli, we’re building more than infrastructure, we’re building communities. That starts with people. We want you to bring your experience, your passion, and your authentic self to every step of the recruitment process, especially during interviews.
Our interviews are structured but human. We understand that technical knowledge and experience matter, especially in the construction and infrastructure sector, but we also want to understand who you are as a professional and what drives you.

What’s most important to us is that you share your career journey honestly, talk us through your leadership style, how you’ve handled challenges on-site or with stakeholders, and why you see Mitrelli as a place where you can make an impact.
