Senior Project Manager — Construction — WTS Energy (Mozambique)

Senior Construction Project Manager in Mozambique — the role

WTS Energy, an international recruitment and workforce solutions company for the energy, infrastructure and maritime sectors, is looking for a Senior / Principal Project Manager to lead complex construction projects — from execution to completion — in Mozambique. This is a senior role for someone who has already delivered demanding projects with large teams — and wants to do so with full accountability for the outcome.

The challenge is clear: oversee each project from planning through execution to completion, ensuring delivery meets the agreed scope, budget, required quality and timelines. This is not a desk job: it means leading the site, the people and the decisions — alongside clients, consultants and contractors.

What you will do day-to-day

Your job is to keep the project moving forward without losing control — over cost, quality, or client trust. In practice, you will:

• Lead each project from planning to final handover, managing teams involved across all phases;
• Manage relationships with clients, consultants, contractors and subcontractors — align expectations, resolve friction and keep everyone moving in the same direction;
• Oversee schedules, budgets, procurement, contracts and risks, anticipating issues before they cost time and money;
• Monitor project outcomes across three areas: performance, quality and compliance — through reports and site visits;
• Lead Project Managers and Assistant Project Managers, sharing methodology, high standards and experience.

This is a role where a morning decision can save a week of delays — and where your name is tied to project delivery, good or bad. For those who thrive on accountability, this is precisely the kind of challenge that advances a career.

Who we are looking for

There are managers who push paperwork and managers who make projects happen. We are looking for the latter: professionals who take full ownership of an entire project — from initial planning to final delivery — and stay calm under pressure. You enjoy making decisions, explain your choices clearly, and know that successful projects rely on motivated teams and trusted partners.

You also know that the role extends beyond the site: there are numbers, contracts and commitments to master daily. If that balance — site-focused with a strong commercial mindset — describes you, this will be a natural fit.

What WTS Energy offers

The job posting does not publish salary or benefits — and Inademy does not invent details not present in the original source. What is certain:

• A senior construction project management role with nationwide scope in Mozambique;
• Joining an international company operating since 2000, headquartered in The Hague (Netherlands), with an African presence in Gabon, Kenya, Mozambique and Nigeria;
• Effective leadership over teams and project outcomes — the role covers projects from planning through to completion;
• Specific terms — remuneration, contract type and mobility — to be discussed during the interview stage with WTS Energy.

Clarify early in the interview: the monthly compensation, the contract type offered, and how mobility between provinces works — the posting provides no details on these points. Asking early prevents surprises later.
