Requirements / Eligibility Criteria
To be considered for the 2025 Graduate Engineering Programme, applicants must meet the following:
1. Educational Qualification: A Bachelor’s degree in a core and relevant engineering discipline (e.g., Electrical/Electronics, Mechanical, Instrumentation & Control, Power Systems, Mechatronics, Chemical Engineering, etc.).
2. Work Experience: Between 0 and 1 year of related work experience — this programme is designed for fresh graduates.
3. NYSC Requirement: For Nigerian applicants, completion of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) by December 2025 is mandatory.
4. Passion for Power Engineering: Applicants must show genuine interest and commitment to working in the power-generation space.
5. Adaptability & Learning Mindset: Given the rotational nature of the programme, candidates should be willing to move across departments, take on hands-on technical tasks, and learn on the job.
6. Teamwork & Mentorship Openness: Since the programme involves mentorship by seasoned engineers, being coachable, collaborative, and proactive is essential.

Programme Duration, Structure & Benefits
Duration & Structure
* The programme is structured to provide a clear, phased learning journey: technical training sessions, project-based assignments, rotational exposure, and on-the-job learning.
* Graduates will rotate across key functional units – such as operations, maintenance, planning, and innovation – giving a 360° understanding of how a large power company runs.
* Through rotations, interns or graduates will see how power plants operate, how maintenance is managed, and how new technology is adopted.
Mentorship & Career Development
* Participants will be paired with seasoned industry experts and senior engineers who will guide them through learning, problem-solving, and real projects.
* Each engineer in the programme will have a personal development plan, regular performance feedback, and career coaching — helping them chart a growth path toward leadership roles.
* By the end of the programme, graduates are prepared not just technically but also professionally for long-term roles in Sahara Power or similar enterprises.
Accommodation & Logistics
* One of the standout benefits: fully sponsored accommodation is provided for the duration of the programme. This removes a major burden for young engineers relocating to Lagos or Port Harcourt.
* With this support, participants can focus fully on learning, innovation, and contributing to the business without worrying about where to live.
Real-World Projects
* Participants will work on live projects across Sahara’s generation plants, contributing to maintenance, operations, and possibly innovation initiatives.
* These are meaningful assignments, not just shadowing – participants may help with plant optimization, troubleshooting, or even help introduce small innovations under supervision.
Long-Term Career Prospects
* While this is a graduate programme, it’s also a pipeline into Sahara Power’s technical talent pool.
* Top-performing participants may be absorbed into full-time roles, giving them a solid foundation for a career in engineering, power generation, or innovation.
