The Congolese Agency for Major Works (ACGT) is actively working to enhance its technical expertise by organizing a recruitment competition for engineers and architects. This initiative, held on Sunday, June 28, aims to expand the agency's personnel and bolster its capacity to undertake significant infrastructure projects across the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The recruitment event took place in a reportedly convivial atmosphere at the Institut de la Gombe in Kinshasa, attracting 625 candidates. Testing centers were also established in Lubumbashi and Mbuji-Mayi, extending the reach of the competition to different regions of the country. ACGT Director General Nico Nzau Nzau personally oversaw the launch of the examinations in Mbuji-Mayi.

The agency is seeking diverse technical skills, including expertise in civil engineering, electromechanical engineering, building and public works (BTP), surveying, architecture, urban planning, and environmental science. Candidates underwent theoretical assessments tailored to their specialized fields to evaluate their knowledge and professional aptitude.

The ACGT's human resources department is now responsible for grading the examinations, with results anticipated within one week. Successful candidates will advance to subsequent stages of the recruitment process. This recruitment drive is part of a broader strategy to improve the quality of ACGT's interventions and meet the country's substantial needs for modern infrastructure.
