Kenya Railways has announced various job openings days after the government launched the Narok-Kisumu-Malaba Standard Gauge Railways (SGR)

The job listings are part of the government’s broader efforts to enhance its operations and expand rail transport services across the country.

In a notice published in MyGov on Tuesday, April 7, 2026, the corporation invited applications from qualified and experienced Kenyans to fill several managerial positions.

The available roles include managerial positions in rail safety, passenger services, sales and marketing, quality management system and risk coordination manager.

Others are signalling, electrical and communication manager, technical audit manager, stores and inventory manager, train operations manager and accounts manager.

Shortlisted candidates shall be required to produce originals of their National Identity Card, academic and professional certificates during interviews; 4.

They are also expected to submit clearance forms from the Higher Education Loans Board (HELB), the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC), and the credit referencing bureau (CRB).
