About TPF

TPF – Consultores de Engenharia e Arquitectura, S.A. is a Portuguese engineering and architecture consultancy group headquartered in Lisbon. The group has branch offices in Angola and Mozambique (TPF Angola and TPF Mozambique) and operates engineering projects across various markets.

The project

The position is tied to the construction supervision of a road infrastructure expansion project in Mozambique — roads, equipment, and associated buildings. The Resident Engineer is responsible for the overall on-site performance: ensuring that deadlines, budget, and quality requirements are met while maintaining direct contact with the client, the contractor, and government entities.

Who we are looking for

A senior engineer with the maturity to lead a multidisciplinary and multinational team on-site. You will manage schedule, budget, and quality simultaneously, acting as the technical and contractual interface between the client, contractor, and the TPF team.

This role is designed for professionals accustomed to high-value projects, who take direct ownership of results and want to make an impact on delivering a major road construction project. TPF values diversity: selection guarantees equal opportunity without discrimination based on gender, race, religion, or any other criterion.

Day-to-day responsibilities

• Coordinate and supervise the technical, administrative, and financial activities of project supervision, ensuring compliance with deadlines, budget, and quality standards.
• Manage, guide, and motivate the multidisciplinary and multinational project team, fostering a collaborative, high-performance working environment.
• Ensure continuous communication and interfacing with the client, government bodies, contractors, and other project stakeholders.
• Administer the service contract, including the management of variations, claims, and payments.
• Monitor project progress, identify variances, analyze root causes, and implement timely corrective actions; prepare and present periodic reports to TPF management and the client.
• Anticipate constraints and risks, defining mitigation measures to ensure adherence to schedule and budget.
• Keep track of market developments and identify new contractual opportunities for TPF.

The role of supervision in this project

In construction supervision, the resident engineer acts as the independent guarantor that works are executed in accordance with the contract and approved designs: monitoring contractor performance on-site and certifying that timelines, quality, and costs remain within agreed bounds.

What TPF offers

• Competitive salary package commensurate with the role, expatriation status, and proven experience. Remuneration details are not published for this opening and will be agreed upon during the hiring process.
• Logistical support for settling in the country.
• Opportunity to lead a benchmark road project within an established international group.
• Full-time position, starting in November 2026.

Expatriation context

This role requires expatriation to Africa: the supervision team is based on-site in Mozambique, supported by group logistics for in-country setup. Foreign candidates must hold a valid Residence Permit in Mozambique.
