Job Vacancies at Sanergy Kenya

Company Description: Sanergy is an award-winning social venture, based in Nairobi, Kenya, that makes hygienic sanitation accessible and affordable in Africa’s urban slums for everyone, forever. 

Our systems-based approach to solving the sanitation crisis involves five key steps: we build a dense network of franchised micro-entrepreneurs, who operate low-cost, high-quality waterless sanitation facilities – called Fresh Life – as small businesses. 

We provide critical support services – such as access to finance, training, marketing and business analytics. We collect the waste every day and safely remove it from the community. We convert the waste into valuable by-products, such as organic fertilizer and renewable energy. 

Finally, we sell the byproducts to Kenyan farms. Since November 2011, we have launched over 500 Fresh Life Toilets to a network of 250 micro-entrepreneurs and we have collected and converted over 3000 tons of waste..

We are an increasingly sophisticated, highly intricate organization with many moving parts. In order to manage our strategic planning, evaluate and develop new models for growth, and improve operational efficiency,we need efficient and effective facilities and infrastructure. 

The Infrastructure Team works with the operational teams to design, research and develop business improvements that drive the expansion of our sustainable sanitation model.
