K sh 56,000 – 74,000 gross / month

Openings: 1 Location: Nairobi – Ruiru (industrial parks, metro) Overview: Energy meters, water bills, and waste logs they’re not just numbers. In this role, they’re the levers for real savings and practical sustainability. You’ll collect, validate, and track utility data so operations, finance, and H&S can make informed decisions without second-guessing. Accuracy is power here. Audits aren’t a threat they’re a chance to shine. You’ll support both internal and external reviewers, track corrective actions to closure, and help maintain evidence folders that make reporting frameworks simple and credible. Small gaps spotted early become meaningful wins. Visualization is your secret weapon. Simple charts and monthly ESG snapshots turn dry data into digestible insights. When stakeholders see quick wins like lighting retrofits or waste segregation pilots they’ll act. Your work moves decisions, not just numbers. Pilots and practical projects give you a taste of impact. You’ll help design and track small interventions that matter, from recycling schemes to leak fixes. Every successfully monitored project becomes a proof point for smarter operations. If you’re curious, methodical, and enjoy turning spreadsheets into stories, you’ll thrive here. Diplomacy, patience, and clear communication matter as much as technical chops because saving resources isn’t just about numbers, it’s about people agreeing to act on them.
