Role Overview

This is a one-year, full-time graduate attachment within Kenya Pipeline Company's engineering and technology functions, aimed at recent degree holders in electrical, electronic, telecommunication, computer or IT disciplines.

• Help maintain computer networks, hardware and software used by engineering and support teams, including basic troubleshooting and user assistance.
• Collect, record and organise technical data such as readings, maintenance logs and test results for reporting and analysis.
• Prepare simple drawings, schematics and documentation to reflect modifications, installations or as-built conditions.
• Observe and apply workplace safety, environmental and quality procedures during all site and workshop activities.
