Employment OpportunitiesThe Bujagali Hydropower Project will provide numerous job opportunities for both skilled and unskilled workers. During the estimated 44-month construction period, at peak times, an estimated 600 - 1,500 people will be employed as laborers, equipment operators, and other positions. Following construction, we will need approximately 30 full-time employees to operate the facility. Bujagali Energy Limited will retain an Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contractor to construct the proposed hydropower facility. The EPC company will be responsible for all hiring decisions during the project construction phase. We will work closely with the contractor to ensure that preference is given to local residents living near the project. Also, we propose to establish an employment training program for local communities. These new jobs and payroll are expected to stimulate the local economy, leading to the creation of additional employment opportunities for residents. Because plans for the proposed hydropower project are still under review, information about employment opportunities is expected to be available in 2007. As project construction draws closer, we will publicly announce job application information through the news media, government offices, and this web site. |
