Your safety comes first — read before you go. Taf4All only lists job offers published by third parties. We are not the employer, we do not conduct these recruitments, and we cannot guarantee what happens once you make contact — you deal directly with the person or company behind the offer, at your own risk.

Nexus Green Ltd, a pioneering renewable energy enterprise committed to fostering sustainable development and accelerating green growth throughout East Africa, is seeking a seasoned Sociologist to join our team in a senior capacity. By delivering cutting-edge, dependable, and cost-effective solar energy solutions, the company empowers businesses and communities alike while providing skilled professionals with the chance to contribute meaningfully to the shift toward a cleaner, more sustainable future.

We are looking for a candidate with a wealth of expertise in societal analysis and research methodologies. The ideal candidate will possess a Ph.D. in Sociology or a closely related field, along with at least five years of professional experience in conducting comprehensive sociological studies. Proficiency in both qualitative and quantitative research methods is essential, as is a strong publication record in peer-reviewed journals.

Responsibilities include leading independent research projects, mentoring junior team members, and collaborating with cross-functional departments to address complex societal challenges. Additionally, the role requires exceptional analytical skills, the ability to interpret large datasets, and a commitment to advancing sociological knowledge through innovative approaches.

In this role, you will spearhead comprehensive evaluations of social impacts alongside the development and implementation of robust community engagement initiatives. You will assess potential social risks associated with projects and propose strategies to mitigate them. You will formulate comprehensive resettlement action plans and design robust stakeholder engagement frameworks. You will collaborate effectively with local communities, non-governmental organizations, and government entities to foster partnerships and facilitate project implementation. You will monitor and evaluate social performance metrics across the entire project duration, ensuring accurate documentation and timely reporting.

Additionally, you will conduct a thorough assessment of potential social risks associated with project execution and develop strategic recommendations to mitigate identified concerns. You will be responsible for creating comprehensive resettlement action plans and designing stakeholder engagement frameworks to ensure effective and inclusive implementation. You will engage in collaborative partnerships with nearby communities, non-governmental organizations, and governmental bodies to facilitate effective communication and coordination.

You will track and document social performance metrics throughout each phase of the project to ensure ongoing evaluation and transparency. A postgraduate degree is required for this position, demonstrating advanced academic qualifications in a relevant field.

  • Never pay any amount of money — for a file, a training, a uniform, or an interview. A real employer never asks the candidate to pay.
  • Never send a photo of your ID card, passport, or banking details before you have physically verified the employer exists.
  • Always meet in a public place, during the day — never an isolated address, a private home, or a location you cannot verify in advance.
  • Tell a relative or friend exactly where you are going, with whom, and at what time — and share your live location if possible.
  • Search the company name online before going: a real business has a trace (website, reviews, other employees, an official address).
  • A salary that is far above the market rate for the position and the city is a red flag — be extra cautious.
