About This Opportunity

Julius Berger Nigeria Plc is taking applications for an Electrical Engineer Trainee to join the Plant and Equipment Department (PED) in Abuja. This is a structured technical development programme, not a short internship: trainees work inside real workshop and equipment operations while building the theoretical knowledge, hands-on competence and professional habits needed for electrical work in a large construction and engineering business. It is aimed at recent graduates and early-career professionals who studied electrical or a closely related engineering discipline and have no more than one year of experience. If you want your first engineering job to involve generators, power distribution, control systems and heavy plant rather than a desk alone, this programme is a strong starting point. The official advert was posted on the Julius Berger recruitment portal on 3 November 2026, so interested candidates should apply promptly.

What You Will Do

The trainee works under electrical supervisors and engineers in the Plant and Equipment Department and develops through supervised practice. In your own development journey, you will:

• Help workshop teams coordinate and carry out day-to-day electrical work, while learning how manpower is planned, tasks are shared out and jobs are supervised.
• Learn safe working systems for electrical work, including isolation procedures, lockout/tagout, earthing, protective devices and safe methods of testing.
• Take part in job safety analyses, risk assessments and safety inspections, and speak up about unsafe conditions, faulty equipment or poor practice.
• Help prepare service, maintenance and installation plans, including the materials, tools, drawings, documents, manpower and work sequences each job needs.
• Contribute to daily and weekly work schedules, follow progress on assigned jobs, and report delays, technical problems or material shortages early.
• Diagnose faults and troubleshoot electrical problems so that equipment downtime is kept as low as possible.
• Carry out and check electrical work against manufacturer standards, departmental procedures and electrical regulations, including inspections, measurements and functional tests.
• Read and use drawings, wiring diagrams, schematics and single-line diagrams, and help with calculations and equipment sizing for installations, cabling, protection and distribution systems.
• Gain practical exposure to generators, electrical machines, control systems, power distribution and renewable or hybrid power systems.
• Keep accurate records of inspections, tests, failures and materials in the company’s systems, maintain your training logbook, and complete programme assessments, reviews and formal exit-gate requirements.

Requirements And Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree or Higher National Diploma in Electrical Engineering, Electrical/Electronic Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, Power Engineering, or a related discipline.
• 0–1 year of work experience.
• Not more than 26 years of age.
• You should be a recent graduate or an early-career professional with genuine technical interest and aptitude.
• Practical exposure to electrical maintenance, workshops, industrial installations or technical engineering work is an advantage, but it is not compulsory.
• Extra technical qualifications, manufacturer (OEM) training or relevant certifications are an advantage.
• Current Julius Berger staff with relevant engineering qualifications and previous PED workshop experience are especially encouraged to apply.
• You must show a clear willingness to build technical, practical and professional competence within electrical operations.

Please note: the official advert for this trainee role does not state an NYSC requirement and does not state a minimum degree class.
