About This Role
This is a senior operational leadership role at one of Ethiopia’s largest agro-industrial players, responsible for overseeing the mechanization and workshop functions of a major integrated farm. It suits an experienced automotive engineer who can manage both the technical reliability of heavy machinery and the coordination of a workshop team in a rural, production-intensive setting. The role sits within a company that depends on efficient mechanization to maintain its supply chain for local and export markets.
What the Requirements Say About This Role
The company is seeking a professional with a first degree in Automotive Engineering and 5–8 years of experience, which signals a need for someone who combines deep technical knowledge with proven management ability. The emphasis on a recognized university and permanent placement suggests ELFORA values formal education and long-term commitment, especially for a role that anchors farm productivity. The requirement implies the ideal candidate has hands-on experience with agricultural or industrial vehicle fleets, not just general automotive repair.

Who This Role Suits
This role is best suited for an automotive engineer with strong leadership skills who thrives in a hands-on, rural operational environment. It is likely competitive due to the company’s reputation and the seniority level, but targeted candidates with direct agro-industry experience will stand out.
