One where human rights are respected and protected by everyone, everywhere.
At Amnesty International, we are passionate about what we do and we are proud of our achievements as a movement. To compensate our employees for the critical work they do, we reward them through a combination of an attractive and sector competitive salary and benefits package, high levels of engagement and involvement, and a commitment to employee development.

Sanergy is building Kenya’s first ever waste-to-protein production facility and we’re looking for you to support us in the installation, commissioning and ramp up of the new protein production facility.
This unique facility that will transform organic wastes into high value protein using insects. We have a dedicated team of engineers spearheading its design but we’re looking for you to help us take it to the next level.

Can work well within a diverse team
Know how to make a plan when things don’t go so well
Have a good sense of humor and roll with the punches

Installing new processing equipment, working with contractors to ensure everything is installed to plan
Problem solving delays and problems with installation, delivery or operations
Working with the ops team to evaluate the performance of implemented process flows, and troubleshoot with the workmen where they are not hitting ramp-up targets
Running tests on the new equipment, looking for performance issues and monitoring output capacities, making custom modifications as required
Train the ops team on the work instructions (which you also would have developed)
Report back to the team on improvements you identified with the ops team, and changes that can be made to the equipment to improve output
Work with the Facilities and Maintenance teams to compile maintenance plans
Develop quality and safety control points and barriers for the equipment with the QHSE team
Note: This is a Fellow position, there is no monetary compensation for the period of engagement with us. However, the experience you gain from this role is something you won’t find elsewhere – we put you straight in the deep end, with responsibility and autonomy to deliver great results!
