  • Strong working knowledge of document lifecycle processes and DMS flow structures.
  • Experience with SharePoint or similar document management platforms.
  • Background in quality management, auditing, and systems thinking.
  • High computer literacy, including Microsoft Office Suite and Adobe.
  • BA in Business Administration or similar field preferred.
  • Ability to travel locally and across Africa as required.

 

What We Offer

  • Be part of a purpose-driven IPP making a tangible impact through renewable energy.

  • Opportunities to grow within a high-performance, values-based environment.
