Engineering graduate trainee programme at a Port Harcourt EPCM firm serving oil, gas, power and renewables. 2:1 minimum, under 30. Deadline October 5.
Graduate Trainee Programme 2026
Diya, Fatimilehin & Co. (DFC) is one of Nigeria's longest-established real estate services firms, with over 40 years in property agency, management, valuation and advisory, offices across Nigeria and one in the United Kingdom. The programme combines structured training, rotations across key business areas, special project assignments and mentorship. Open to any relevant degree with a Second Class Lower or above, aged 27 or under, with 0-2 years experience and NYSC completed. Real estate is an under-covered sector for Nigerian graduates — this is a genuine entry route into property practice, valuation and advisory rather than a generic commercial trainee scheme. Deadline: 12 October 2026.
