POWER PLANT ENGINEERING ATTACHÉ (RECRUITS ATTACHMENT & INTERNSHIP)
Government · Stima Plaza, Nairobi (Plants across Kenya)
Closes 1 Nov 2026 Internship 4 positions
Kenya Electricity Generating Company PLC (KenGen) is offering an engineering attachment coordinated through its Stima Plaza headquarters in Nairobi, for students pursuing power, electrical or mechanical engineering. The attaché will support monitoring of power-generation process parameters under close supervision, assist with compiling equipment-maintenance and performance logs, and help document adherence to safety and environmental compliance procedures across generation operations spanning geothermal, hydro and thermal plants. Additional duties include supporting basic data analysis for plant output reports, assisting with digitisation of technical maintenance records, and observing routine safety briefings and inspections conducted within generation facilities. This attachment offers a rare opportunity to understand how Kenya's largest power producer plans, operates and maintains a diverse generation portfolio that anchors the national grid. It is well suited to students pursuing electrical, mechanical, power systems or renewable-energy engineering who wish to gain practical, large-scale industrial exposure. Attachés are required to strictly comply with all occupational health and safety requirements given the high-voltage and high-risk nature of power-generation facilities. On successful completion, attachés receive an official certificate of attachment from KenGen recognising the specific engineering competencies gained during the placement period.
