Build Your Career With Jordan's Leading Civil Engineers
CEC — Civil Engineering Company — has been delivering landmark construction projects across Jordan since 1977. We offer civil engineers, project managers, and construction professionals the rare opportunity to work on the Kingdom's most complex and consequential infrastructure — from Amman's urban bridges and tunnels to national water networks, power plants, and five-star hotels.
Jordan's Most Comprehensively Classified Contractor
Civil Engineering Company (CEC) is a First Grade civil engineering and construction company headquartered in Jabal Al-Hussein, Amman — and one of the only contractors in Jordan to hold First Grade classification across all five major construction disciplines simultaneously.
Founded in 1977 by working civil engineers with a commitment to precision and long-term quality, CEC has grown from a regional contracting firm into one of Jordan's most established civil engineering and construction companies. Over nearly five decades, we have built the infrastructure that serves the Kingdom: the bridges that carry Amman's daily traffic, the dams that store the Jordan Valley's water, the hotels that welcome international visitors, the university campuses where tens of thousands study, and the power plants that keep the national grid running.
For a civil engineer considering career options in Jordan, this matters. The breadth and scale of CEC's project portfolio — across building, infrastructure, water, energy, and electromechanical works — is exceptional in the Jordanian market. Engineers who join CEC gain exposure to project complexity and diversity that simply cannot be found at a single-discipline contractor.

01
Work on Jordan's Most Complex Projects
CEC is the contractor on Jordan's landmark infrastructure — Amman's bridges and tunnels, Jordan Valley dams, national power plants, Dead Sea hotels, and university campuses. Your site experience will be built on projects that matter, not routine residential blocks.
02
Multi-Discipline Engineering Exposure
With First Grade classification across five disciplines, CEC delivers building, infrastructure, water, electromechanical, and energy projects. Engineers gain exposure across disciplines that would require five separate employers at any other Jordanian contracting company.
03
Government and International Private Sector
CEC delivers for Jordan's government ministries, international hotel brands, major banks, universities, and global energy developers. Your career includes experience with the procurement, quality, and delivery standards of both public and private sector clients.
04
Nationwide Site Experience
CEC projects span the Kingdom — from Amman's dense urban corridors to the Jordan Valley, from Aqaba's port zone to Mafraq's remote Badia. Your career will cover Jordan's full geographic and environmental range of construction challenges.
05
A Company Built by Engineers
CEC was founded by engineers and retains a deeply engineering-first culture. Technical quality is not a corporate slogan — it is the founding principle that has defined 49 years of delivery. Engineers who join CEC join a team that takes the craft of construction seriously.
Engineering Roles
Roles CEC Recruits for in Jordan
We recruit across the full spectrum of civil engineering and construction disciplines — from graduate engineers on their first site to senior project managers ready to lead major contracts.
01
Site Engineer
Site engineers at CEC manage day-to-day construction operations on Jordan's most demanding civil engineering projects — bridges, tunnels, water networks, and building structures across Amman and nationwide. Responsibilities include setting out, inspection, subcontractor coordination, material testing oversight, and quality record maintenance. Experience with Jordan's MoPWH and GAM specifications is advantageous.

02
Project Manager
Project managers at CEC are responsible for the complete delivery of construction and infrastructure contracts — from mobilisation through to handover and defects liability. Role requirements include programme management, client interface, subcontractor management, cost control, and quality oversight. Experience with public sector construction contracts in Jordan, including MoPWH and GAM projects, is highly valued.
Senior · Construction Management
03
Quantity Surveyor
Quantity surveyors at CEC prepare and manage bills of quantities, cost estimates, and commercial documentation for Jordan's most complex civil engineering contracts. Responsibilities include BOQ preparation, interim payment applications, variation assessment, subcontractor procurement, and final account settlement. Familiarity with FIDIC contract conditions and Jordanian public tender law is essential at senior levels.
Commercial · Cost Management
04
QA/QC Engineer
Quality engineers at CEC implement and maintain quality management systems on civil engineering projects across Jordan — ensuring that all construction works meet the specified technical requirements and that quality records are systematically documented and submitted. Role includes inspection plan preparation, non-conformance management, material testing coordination, and audit support. Experience with ISO 9001 and Jordan-specific construction quality standards is preferred.
Quality · Technical Inspection
05
Planning Engineer
Planning engineers at CEC develop, maintain, and update construction programmes for Jordan's major civil engineering projects — using Primavera P6 or equivalent scheduling tools. Responsibilities include baseline programme preparation, progress monitoring, delay analysis, earned value management, and look-ahead schedule preparation for submission to clients and supervision consultants. Experience with phased construction sequencing in live-traffic urban environments is particularly valued.

06
Structural Engineer
Structural engineers at CEC support the technical review, temporary works design, and construction coordination for building and infrastructure projects across Jordan. Responsibilities may include review of design drawings, preparation of method statements, design of temporary works structures, preparation of structural drawings for site use, and technical interface with clients and supervision consultants. Experience with reinforced concrete design to Eurocode or AASHTO standards is preferred.
