Renewable energy business development and project coordination support at OFGEN Limited, preparing tender submissions for solar PV and BESS projects.

Kenya

Message

At OFGEN Limited, I research renewable-energy opportunities across Kenya and Sub-Saharan Africa, including solar PV, BESS, microgrid, EPC, and O&M tenders. I review requirements and deadlines to support opportunity assessments and management review.

I support EOIs and proposal preparation, coordinating technical, commercial, finance, and QHSE inputs. I also maintain tender folders and version control in SharePoint and Microsoft 365.

For projects including the RICA BESS augmentation and THIWASCO solar PV DBFOT EOI, I supported opportunity review, eligibility assessment, and submission documentation. I also research supplier-registration and prequalification requirements for utilities, UN agencies, and donor-funded programmes.

At The Cupcake Studio, which I founded, I manage daily operations, customer requirements, budgeting, suppliers, and delivery planning. My technical projects include a Smart Soil Analyzer embedded IoT prototype and a 1 kHz phase-shift oscillator PCB design.
