Apply for Kenya Electricity Generating Company PLC - KenGen - roles through its official careers portal. When checked on 16 November 2026, the portal showed "No Matching Vacancies Found" and said vacancies will be listed once posted. This means there was no verified open vacancy to apply for at that time.
KenGen recruitment is free. Never pay a person or agent to get a job, interview, shortlist or application help.
Start at the KenGen Career Opportunities page. It is the page that lists vacancies when they are posted. Read each advert carefully before applying because the advert is the source for the job title, qualifications, documents and closing date.
KenGen's main website confirms that the company operates power plants in Kenya and works across geothermal, hydropower, wind and thermal generation. Check the specific vacancy rather than assuming that every role is an engineering role.
| What to check | What to do |
|---|---|
| Vacancy listing | Confirm the role is shown on the official KenGen careers portal. |
| Closing date | Apply before the deadline stated in that particular advert. |
| Requirements | Match your education, experience and any professional requirements to the advert. |
| Application instructions | Follow the portal and advert instructions for that vacancy. |
KenGen's careers portal gives a three-step process: register, populate your profile to build your resume, then apply for open vacancies.
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1. Register | Open the KenGen careers application guidance and create an applicant account when registration is available. |
| 2. Build your resume | Complete the profile information requested in the portal so your resume is populated. |
| 3. Find a vacancy | Return to the official career opportunities page and select an open role. |
| 4. Submit | Apply through the portal for that specific vacancy and keep your account details secure. |
Do not send an application to an unofficial email address or rely on a social-media post. If a vacancy is not displayed on the official portal, check the official notice before acting.
The careers portal has a sign-in and password-reset function. Its password-reset page asks for an email address and staff number to send reset instructions. Use only the official portal pages and do not share your password or verification link.
The portal says an account-verification link sent by email is a one-time link valid for 30 minutes. If it expires, log in again to generate another link.
For portal contact details, the careers portal lists KenGen Pension Plaza II, Kolobot Road, Parklands, Nairobi, and the phone contacts shown on its site. Use the contact details on the official portal if you have a genuine technical problem.
When the official career opportunities page was checked on 16 November 2026, it displayed "No Matching Vacancies Found." Check that page again for a new official listing because recruitment status can change.
Register on the official careers system, complete your profile to build your resume, then apply to an open vacancy through the portal. The official application guidance sets out those three steps.
No. Genuine public recruitment is free. Do not pay anyone who promises a KenGen job, shortlist, interview or application support.
The official portal says the email verification link is valid for 30 minutes and can be generated again by logging in.
