The programme is part of Sahara Power’s long-term investment in talent development and innovation — it is not just about building engineers, but about shaping future leaders capable of driving the next wave of growth in Nigeria’s power sector. This is a time-sensitive, highly competitive opportunity for early-career engineers who are passionate about sustainable power, operations, and innovation.
With placements in Ikorodu, Lagos, and Port Harcourt, Rivers State, selected graduates will work directly on power-plant infrastructure, rotating through different technical units, and tackling real operational challenges. The experience gained will prepare them for strategic and technical roles within Sahara Power or across the broader energy industry.
Organizer
Sahara Power Group (SPG) — one of the largest privately owned integrated power companies in sub-Saharan Africa, managing significant generation capacity across multiple power plants, including Egbin and FIPL.
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.
Deadline
30th November,2025.
