About Bridge International Academies
Bridge International Academies is a for-profit startup company revolutionizing education across Africa with a unique business model. The company runs a large-scale network of low-cost primary schools in Kenya that significantly outperforms other primary schools in the same areas because of our "school in a box" systems.
Our schools profitably deliver this high-quality education for less than $4 per child per month, which enable the schools to cover all their costs and create a profitable central organization at scale. We have launched 37 schools in Kenya, will double in size in the next 6 months, and plan to rapidly scale the company to serve more than 1 million students across the continents.
About this position
We have and are continuing to develop one of the most sophisticated approaches to providing affordable education to MILLIONS of children in one of the most challenging environments in the world.
A central part of our operations includes the identification and verification of plots of land for our schools inside low income communities in and outside of Nairobi, and after that we start the strategy to build our units.
We are seeking an experienced Surveyor with a background in managing multiple sites and a high workload, who can visit sites and lay beacons, obtain maps from surveys of Kenya and manage day to day duties in a variety of locations.
Ideally you will have varied post qualification experience with time spent working across Kenya.
Good relationship building/networking skills are required as well as being a driven and self starter who can gain credibility in short space of time. Good relevant contacts in Nairobi/Kenya would also considerably help your application.
Comfortable using technology to manage your duties (GIS, GPS, mapping systems) will be an advantage.
The Surveyor will report to the Head of Department, showing results on a daily basis. We are looking for someone who is a results-based and motivated self-starter.
