African Energy Chamber Unveils New Energy Jobs Portal for African workforce

African Energy Chamber has unveiled a new energy Jobs portal for trained and qualified African workforce, in a bid to save local jobs and assist in the recovery of African energy markets after the Covid-19 crisis.

The impact of Covid-19 pandemic has led to the closure of several companies in Africa with the few surviving opting to downsize their workforce to a manageable number. This has greatly affected employment, creating a massive loss of jobs in the continent.

The free-of-access jobs portal will assist local and international companies in attracting local talent across 30 different skills set in the oil & gas, power and renewable energy sectors.

According to the Chamber, all energy companies operating in Africa are allowed to post job offers for free, which will be relayed on the platform and via the Chamber’s communications channels after approval by the Chamber’s admin and team. The jobs portal will be operated and maintained by the African Energy Chamber in order to avoid all fraud and guarantee the credibility of the offers available.

“Local content has always been the number one priority of the African Energy Chamber when advocating for an energy industry that works for Africans and builds truly sustainable business models. With this new platform, we are getting rid of a lot of entry barriers set on the job market by expensive recruitment agencies. This initiative of the Chamber is non lucrative and we encourage all African and international companies to work with us on boosting local jobs creation to support the recovery of our industry and build true sustainability,” declared Nj Ayuk, Executive Chairman at the African Energy Chamber.

The African Energy Chamber is encouraging all companies in search of African talent across the energy industry to submit their job offers directly online via the platform.

The collaborative platform is accessible at wwww.energychamber.org/jobs and relays the latest jobs opportunities for Africans across the continent’s energy markets.
