Job Description
Minimum Experience Required
A minimum of 3 to 5 years of documented, post-qualification experience in industrial, commercial, or large-scale construction electrical work is a standard requirement for all foreign job listings.
Standard Qualifications & Certifications
The essential qualification is a Diploma or Craft Certificate in Electrical Engineering. A Government of Kenya Trade Test Certificate is highly valued and often mandatory. For the GCC, a valid Kenyan Driving License is a major advantage. Specialized certifications in PLCs, solar PV, or safety (e.g., IOSH) significantly improve prospects.
Key Medical & Legal Requirements
A comprehensive medical test from an approved clinic is mandatory for visa processing, especially for GCC countries. This includes screening for infectious diseases and drugs. A Certificate of Good Conduct is also universally required.
Standard Salary & Benefits (GCC Focus)
Salaries in the GCC are tax-free. Electricians can expect KES 80,000 to 150,000 per month, while Senior Technicians can earn KES 120,000 to 250,000+.
The comprehensive benefits package always includes free furnished accommodation (or a substantial allowance), free medical insurance, and annual repatriation flight tickets. Transportation to the worksite is also typically provided.
Core Job Description Elements
International job descriptions emphasize installation, maintenance, troubleshooting, and repair of electrical systems. They require strict adherence to international safety standards (like IEC or NFPA) and the ability to read technical schematics. Supervisory duties and experience with specific systems (e.g., HV, PLCs, building management) are listed for senior roles.
Critical Application Advice
Candidates must verify the recruiting agency's legitimacy, often through the National Employment Authority (NEA). Never pay large sums for a job offer. Prepare for technical interviews and tests, and ensure all personal and professional documents (certificates, passport) are ready and attested as required.
