* The career opportunities advert lists Manager, System Control and Market Operations as KETRACO/5/1C/40/243 on contract terms. The detailed job-description PDF for that role is headed KETRACO/5/1C/40/244 and says permanent and pensionable — the same reference used for Assistant Manager, System Studies. Confirm the reference and terms on the official JobLink and in the PDF before you apply. Some PDFs also shorten the prefix from KETRACO/ to KET/.

Scam warning
Recruitment by public bodies in Kenya is free. KETRACO does not charge a fee to apply, shortlist or offer a job. Nobody can sell you a slot, and canvassing leads to automatic disqualification. Applications with incorrect information, or without the required qualifications and documents, will not be considered. Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted. See how to spot fake job adverts.
