About The CompanyRegen Organics is an award-winning social venture based in Nairobi, Kenya. We implement a circular economy model to sustainably manage sanitation and organic waste generated in cities. Using technologies developed in-house, we upcycle the waste into insect-based protein for animal feed, organic fertilizer, and biomass fuel. We operate the largest organic recycling plant in East Africa. Watch here!Operational since 2011, Sanergy collects and treats over 50,000T of residual organics per year, and successfully sells its agri-inputs to farmers in over 40 counties in Kenya, who see improved yields and increased incomes. Our work is pioneering climate action in Africa - we offset nearly 50,000T of carbon per year and we have big expansion plans to scale this impact. Our goal is to expand across Africa and Asia, safely processing 1,000,000T a year of waste and more than 1,000,000T of carbon emissions offsets per year in the next decade.For our work, we have been recognized globally including, by the Gates Foundation as one of the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals accelerator; by Fast Company as one of the 10 most innovative companies in the world doing social good and one of the 10 best companies in Africa; by Earthshot Prize as a Finalist and winner of Food Planet Prize.Duties And Responsibilities<ul><li>Support scheduled preventive maintenance, routine inspections and maintenance checklists.</li><li>Assist with breakdown response and fault diagnosis across mechanical, electrical, hydraulic and pneumatic systems.</li><li>Participate in root cause analysis and follow-up of corrective and preventive actions to reduce repeat failures and downtime.</li><li>Support maintenance planning, work-order tracking, equipment records, breakdown logs and performance reporting.</li><li>Assist with spare-parts and consumables monitoring, stock reconciliation and purchase requisitions.</li><li>Support contractors, equipment repairs, installations, commissioning and improvement projects.</li><li>Work with production teams to coordinate maintenance and minimise operational disruption.</li><li>Follow all HSE requirements, including safe work practices, PPE, LOTO and permit-to-work procedures.</li></ul>Qualifications and Requirements<ul><li>Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Mechatronic Engineering, Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering, or another relevant engineering discipline.</li><li>Recent graduates seeking practical exposure in industrial or factory maintenance.</li><li>Basic understanding of mechanical and electrical systems, engineering principles, and industrial equipment.</li><li>Familiarity with preventive maintenance, fault diagnosis, engineering drawings, and technical documentation is an advantage.</li><li>Basic computer skills, particularly Microsoft Excel and maintenance record-keeping tools..</li><li>Demonstrated interest in equipment reliability, problem-solving, and continuous improvement.</li><li>Living or willing to relocate to Kinanie, Mavoko sub-county, Machakos.</li></ul>
