Veterinary Field Technician (Poultry). [Openings: 3]
Agriculture, Fishing & Forestry
K sh 60,000 – 100,000 gross / month
Openings: 3 Location: Nairobi – Kamulu (Joska corridor, Kangundo Rd) Overview: Field veterinary work in poultry is equal parts science, mobility, and relationship-building. In this role, you’ll move across multiple grower sites, tightening biosecurity, improving flock performance, and catching health issues before they snowball. Every visit matters, from how a brooding room feels when you walk in, to the way chicks respond after a vaccine round, to the patterns you pick up in water intake or litter quality. Within the wider technical team, the hiring company counts on these technicians to be their eyes and ears on the ground: reinforcing good habits, correcting risky gaps, and translating lab and management guidelines into practical actions farmers can actually follow. You’ll coach workers, manage vaccination routines with strict cold-chain discipline, and turn farm observations into actionable data. If you enjoy hands-on flock work, constant learning, and influencing farm outcomes through both expertise and trust, this role gives you the autonomy and field depth to make a noticeable impact on grower success and bird survival. Key Responsibilities: - Conduct farm audits; advise on biosecurity and hygiene. - Administer vaccines; maintain cold chain; complete records. - Collect samples for lab; interpret basics; escalate alerts. - Advise on brooding, stocking densities, and feed/water management. - Document visits; track improvements and mortality. Education & Experience: - Diploma in Animal Health/Production or BVM/BSc Animal Science; 1–3 yrs poultry. Skills & Tools: - Vaccination, biosecurity, farmer training, and data capture. KPIs: - Mortality %, FCR, visit completion, and farmer retention. Compensation (Kenya): KES 60,000–100,000 + field incentives. Figures are client estimates and vary with experience. Benefits: - Medical, motorbike/fuel, PPE. Growth Path: - Senior Tech → Area Vet Officer → Poultry Technical Manager. Ideal promotion cycle.
