Established in 2016, Etimad Maihan unites Etimad Maihan Construction Company and Etimad Maihan Logistics Services as a single, accountable partner for works and end-to-end supply-chain delivery across Afghanistan. We plan and execute civil and structural construction; fabricate and convert containers into fully fitted facilities; operate and maintain sites; and run compliant procurement, warehousing, and nationwide distribution. Our fleet underpins last-mile logistics alongside full-scope transportation services and vehicle rentals. Delivery is governed by a formal management system—QA/QC, HSE/ESHS, incident reporting, and supplier due diligence—integrated with Odoo for budgeting, inventory, payroll, and audit-ready financials. With 50+ completed assignments, we have implemented programs with UN agencies and international NGOs, partnered with the Government of Afghanistan, and served private-sector clients. We focus on transparent pricing, schedule discipline, and community-centred delivery, including dedicated women’s engagement. Backed by experienced teams and provincial networks, we consistently achieve safe, compliant, fit-for-purpose results—on time and within budget.

Responsibilities

• Project planning and coordination: Lead the end‑to‑end planning and execution of solar‑powered irrigation sub‑projects, from feasibility and design through procurement, installation and commissioning.

Coordinate with Client for issuance of completion and handover certificates, develop operation and maintenance procedures, and oversee knowledge transfer to the O&M team.
