The Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) has initiated the process of finding a new managing director to replace Henry Ogoye currently holding the position in an acting capacity.
Ogoye has been acting since August 27 last year after he was picked to replace Alex Gitari whose contract was terminated.
In an advertisement dated June 11, KAA said the MD will be employed on contract for three years.
It is renewable once, subject to satisfactory performance or attainment of mandatory retirement age whichever happens earlier, it states.
To be appointed to the position, a candidate must possess a Bachelor's degree in finance, economics, business management, marketing, statistics, engineering, social sciences or a related field from a recognized institution of higher learning and also a Master's Degree.
They must also have a leadership course lasting not less than four weeks from a reputable institution with a certification in Aviation being an added advantage.
"Successful candidate must have a minimum of 15 years working experience, 10 of which will be in a senior management or leadership position with hands-on experience and direct responsibility for developing and implementing strategic plans, generating substantial revenues, managing significant capital and operational budgets and delivering positive cash flows and profits," it adds.
The MD who also doubles up as the agency's CEO will be responsible to the Board for day-to-day management and co-ordination of activities in the Authority.
Other key responsibilities are providing sufficient, accurate and timely information on the Authority's operations; financial status and overall performance to enable the Board to fulfil its governance objectives.
The office holder will also be tasked with ensuring the Authority has adequate systems and processes of accountability, risk management and internal control and that all the policies and operations conform to all legal, statutory and regulatory guidelines.
Until his appointment, Ogoye was the Head of Corporate Planning at the agency.
Gitari was fired alongside Engineering Services General Manager Fred Odawo.
The move followed a two-hour power blackout at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) which led to critical services being affected.
The changes announced by Transport Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen also saw some senior managers transferred.
