Kenya Railways announces 9 managerial vacancies

The state-owned corporation is responsible for providing rail services in the country, operating both the new standard gauge railway and the meter gauge railway.

The positions offered included a rail safety manager, a passenger services manager, a sales and marketing manager and a manager in quality management systems and risk coordination.

Additional managerial positions included those of a technical audit manager, a manager of stores and inventory, a train operations manager, an accounts manager and a manager of communication, electrical, and signalling systems.

Kenya railways instructed qualified candidates to submit their applications via the Kenya Railways website before April 28.

The applicants were expected to clearly indicate the positions they applied for and noted that a step-by-step guide was made available on the website.

The organisation announced that the successful candidates would be offered a competitive remuneration package, combining base salary with benefits, bonuses, commissions and perks.

Each applicant was directed to provide a signed application letter, a detailed CV, copies of academic and professional certificates and a copy of their national ID or passport.

The organisation warned against including incorrect information in the application letter and presenting fake certificates and documents.

It also alerted the candidates to beware of fraudsters misusing the company's name to solicit money from the applicants.

The organisation noted that only the shortlisted candidates would be contacted, who would then be expected to provide clearance from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations, Higher Education and Loans Board, Kenya Revenue Authority, Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission and an approved credit reference bureau.

The company identified itself as an equal opportunity employer, encouraging persons with disabilities, marginalised communities, minorities and female candidates to apply.

"Applications without the relevant qualifications, copies of documents as sought for, will not be considered," the company cautioned.
