Education & Qualifications

• Open to applicants aged between 24 – 30 years of age.
  
• A Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Economics, Finance, Business Administration, Environmental Science, Public Policy, Law, or a related discipline. The specific field of study is less important than the analytical rigour, intellectual curiosity, and structured problem-solving capability it demonstrates.
  
• A postgraduate qualification relevant to infrastructure development, project finance, energy economics, public policy, or project management is an advantage.
  
• Formal project management certification — PMP, PRINCE2, or equivalent — is an advantage. Demonstrated ability to manage complex multi-stakeholder workstreams to the same standard is equally valued.
  

• Support the identification, screening, and assessment of new project opportunities, assembling and analysing the technical, commercial, regulatory, stakeholder, environmental, and market information required to support informed development decisions.
  
• Lead the development of comprehensive origination workstreams, including site assessments, resource evaluations, stakeholder mapping, regulatory pathway assessments, land and permitting considerations, commercial structuring assumptions, and preliminary development strategies.
  
• Coordinate engagement with government institutions, regulators, utilities, landowners, community representatives, technical advisers, and other relevant stakeholders during the origination phase — submitting discussion records, commitments, risks, and follow-up actions into the project records system.
  

• Drive the master feasibility workstream — sequencing, assigning, and actively progressing all technical, commercial, financial, legal, environmental, social, permitting, and stakeholder activities against project timelines and development milestones (action register and milestone tracking).
  
• Coordinate and manage the performance of external consultants, advisers, and service providers across engineering, environmental and social impact assessment, legal, financial, commercial, and regulatory workstreams, ensuring clear scopes of work, timely delivery, adherence to agreed standards, and effective communication across all parties.
  
• Review consultant outputs critically before submission to leadership, counterparties, investors, or regulators, identifying gaps, inconsistencies, unsupported assumptions, scope omissions, quality concerns, or issues that may affect project bankability or credibility.
  

• Drive the financial close workstream for each active transaction — including conditions precedent, financing requirements, regulatory approvals, transaction documentation, consultant deliverables, lender requests, and key closing milestones — using the financial close tracker.
  
• Coordinate information flows between Kwanza Infrastructure Group and external stakeholders, including investors, lenders, development finance institutions, technical advisers, legal counsel, government agencies, and transaction counterparties, ensuring that requests, queries, data-room requirements, and due diligence actions are managed promptly and systematically.
  
• Support the management and resolution of conditions precedent by tracking responsibilities, securing required inputs, coordinating counterparties, escalating delays, and ensuring that critical closing requirements do not remain unattended.
  

• Monitor cross-project dependencies, resource constraints, stakeholder overlaps, regulatory interactions, and strategic risks that may affect multiple projects simultaneously, proactively identifying issues and recommending mitigation measures before they impact execution.
  
• Ensure that key project decisions, development assumptions, stakeholder intelligence, regulatory precedents, transaction insights, lessons learned, and execution methodologies are captured and submitted into the Platform's institutional knowledge systems.
  
• Lead structured project reviews and debrief sessions at key development milestones, including feasibility completion, regulatory approvals, financing milestones, and financial close, translating lessons learned into practical improvements in project development processes and execution frameworks.
