Kenha announces 21 job vacancies

The Kenya National Highways Authority (Kenha) has opened applications for 21 vacant positions in a bid to strengthen its workforce and deliver on its mandate.

The positions are in corporate, technical, legal, planning and support functions.

Kenha has a statutory mandate of managing, developing, rehabilitating and maintaining the country’s national highways.

The deadline for submission is on March 2 at 5 pm East African Time (EAT).

The advertised vacancies are all on permanent and pensionable terms.

Among the senior openings is deputy director legal services (Grade Kenha 3), which will provide strategic legal guidance, coordinate regulatory and contractual compliance, oversee litigation matters and support corporate governance functions at senior management level.

In the technical and professional categories, Kenha is recruiting land surveyors, a business development officer II, physical planner II and a land valuer II.

These positions are critical to road corridor planning, land acquisition planning and valuation functions central to the implementation of national highways projects.

The authority is also seeking legal officers II (three posts) to support operational legal services, a human resource management officer II to support HR systems and staff development and corporate communications officers II to enhance internal and external communication strategies.

Support and operational roles include security officer II, legal clerk III, assistant office administrator III and assistant records and information management officer II, all of which underpin effective institutional operations.

Applicants are encouraged to apply online through Kenha’s official application links and attach certified copies of academic and professional certificates, National ID, CV and testimonials before the March 2 deadline.

Kenha says only shortlisted candidates will be contacted for interviews and any form of canvassing will lead to automatic disqualification.

Kenha, established under the Kenya Roads Act, 2007, is responsible for ensuring Kenya’s trunk road network meets standards of safety, efficiency and sustainability to support national development and economic growth.

The agency says it is committed to provide equal opportunity, encouraging applications from women, persons with disabilities and candidates from marginalised communities.
