About the role NAFF-HAM Limited is building the Karshi Integrated Agro-Industrial Estate from the ground up. We are looking for a Technical Assistant to the MD/CEO to lead the finance and operations side of our greenfield mobilisation.

Lead the project financial model, the Business Plan and the Project Investment Information Memorandum (PIM), with the PIM due within 60 days.
Prepare and submit DFI, grant and concessionary-finance applications.
Set up and run the Project Management Office (PMO), including the integrated mobilisation plan, critical path, and milestone and risk registers.
Oversee EPC procurement and tendering, and track capex against approved budgets.
Support site surveys and the EIA process, and make sure HSE and E&S requirements are met.
Work with the Farm Manager to plan the first production season, covering out-grower and aggregation arrangements and input supply.
Plan the start-up of agro-processing and storage operations, and secure offtake and logistics arrangements.
Produce monthly finance and operations reports, capex dashboards, Board papers and investor updates.
What we are looking for
BSc in Agricultural Economics, Agribusiness, Finance/Economics, or Agricultural/Civil Engineering. An MSc or MBA is an advantage.
At least one of: ICAN, ACCA, PMP or PRINCE2.
At least 5 years' experience in agribusiness finance, agro-processing or agricultural project development in Nigeria or West Africa. This should include hands-on involvement in a greenfield, farm-establishment or DFI-funded project.
Advanced Excel financial modelling (cashflow, IRR, NPV, sensitivity and scenario analysis) and strong skills in MS Project or an equivalent tool.
Working knowledge of DFI and development finance institutions and instruments such as BOI, Bank of Agriculture, NIRSAL, NEXIM, AfDB and IFC.
Understanding of EPC contracts, BOQ review and site supervision, and the ability to read engineering drawings.
Familiarity with agro-processing and commodity value chains (shea, soya, grains), NAFDAC/SON standards, and ESG/IFC Performance Standards.
Familiarity with farm-management and ERP platforms.
Excellent written and spoken English.
Why join us
Help build a major agro-industrial estate from scratch.
Work directly with the MD/CEO on a high-visibility, execution-focused mandate.
