Build the future of smart facilities in Africa
- Are you a recent engineering graduate who wants more than a job?
- IFS is opening applications for the Graduate Engineering Management Trainee track under the WIN Program (Winners in Africa) — a rigorous, salaried, three-year graduate journey that takes ambitious young engineers from classroom theory to hands-on mastery of the technology reshaping facilities and operations management across the continent.
What makes this track different:
This isn't a back-office graduate scheme. You'll get direct, hands-on exposure to:
- Robotics in facility operations — automated inspection, maintenance, and monitoring systems deployed live on-site
- AI-driven facility management — predictive maintenance, smart energy systems, IoT-enabled building intelligence
- Facility management operations — actual on-site delivery of world-class facility management to elite clients
- Real engineering ownership — from Month 2 you're embedded in live projects, not shadowing from the sidelines.
Your journey:
- Year 2: Role progression: real ownership and expanding technical responsibility
- Year 3: Capstone project: a business-impact initiative you own end to end, backed by mentorship and structured progression into the IFS engineering management pipeline.
- Months 2–12: On-the-job placement: embedded with a delivery team on client sites
- Month 1: Foundation bootcamp: professional readiness, communication, and the digital and data tools you'll use on live sites
Who we're looking for
- NYSC discharge certificate (or valid exemption) required at application
- No prior formal work experience required — this program is designed to build you from the ground up
- Curious, hands-on, and unafraid of the technical detail; we're looking for builders, not just theorists
- 3-Year Leadership Journey
- 1st Class or 2:1 in Engineering (any discipline — Mechanical, Electrical/Electronic, Mechatronics, Civil, Computer, Industrial, Maintenance or related), graduated within the last 2 years
- Based in, or willing to relocate to, Lagos
- Strong problem-solving instincts and a genuine interest in automation, robotics, or smart systems
Our values:
- We're not just hiring engineers. We're building the next generation of operators who will lead Africa's built environment into a smarter, more sustainable future.
- R.E.I.G.N. — Raise, Empower, Inspire, Grow, Nurture.
What this program asks of you
- You'll be on live client sites, taking real ownership, and receiving direct feedback — often.
- This is demanding, hands-on work from Month 1.
- If that excites you rather than worries you, you'll do well here.
- If you've ever looked at a building and thought about how it could run smarter, this is your way in.
Application Deadline:
16th August, 2026.
