Labour and Social Protection Cabinet Secretary Alfred Mutua has announced 1,260 job vacancies for Kenyans in Qatar, paying up to Sh74,000 per month.

Mutua said medical, transport and accommodation will be provided by company.

He noted that a processing fee equivalent to one month’s basic salary applies, covering medical examinations and other pre-departure expenses.

The CS added that the company wants to recruit for immediate placement.

He said those candidates interested and qualified should show up at Leomar Court, Intersection of Chiromo Lane and Westlands Road and Tyme Arcade Building in Ongata Rongai from 8 am to 5pm on February 19, 2025.

He asked applicants to also send their CV, passport copy and certificates as one PDF document to email 𝙨𝙝𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙩𝙚2019@𝙜𝙢𝙖𝙞𝙡.𝙘𝙤𝙢.

“Only candidates with the right attitude and work ethic will be cleared for overseas jobs to ensure they uphold professionalism and do not jeopardize future opportunities for others,” the CS said.

The jobs include skid loader operators (40 positions), backhoe loader operators (30 positions), mobile crane operators (40 positions), roller operators (15 positions), telehandler operators (30 positions), excavator (LB) operators (20 positions) and heavy-duty drivers (300 positions).

Others are light duty drivers (300 positions), tower crane electricians (20 positions), hydraulic mechanics  (22 positions), diesel mechanics (26 positions), lathe machine operators (15 positions), heavy equipment operators (50 positions), general repair operators (15 positions), rigger operators (14 positions) and generator technicians (14 positions) among others.

Mutua said Kenyans previously recruited for jobs in Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Germany, and other destinations will continue traveling as per the schedule set by their employing companies, based on client needs and urgency.

“An employer cannot be forced to take you in before they are ready simply because you feel you have waited too long. If you are experiencing delays and feel impatient, you may visit your recruiting agency to request a refund, minus medical and processing costs already incurred. This will allow your slot to be given to another deserving Kenyan who is ready to work,” he added.
