EGG-energy Employees

EGG-energy’s employees make our operations in Tanzania possible.  We have added new faces to our team over the past year, so for this post I’d like to tell you a little about each of our current employees.  I have also included photos from the EGG-energy holiday party in Dar es Salaam last week, when we all gathered to enjoy some delicious food, good company, and one of Dar’s beautiful beaches.

Samson - Membership Manager

Samson joined EGG in March 2011, and is an asset to the company. Based in our Dar office, he manages the database and helps with many other administrative, accounting, and organizational tasks.  Samson is currently attending school part time to pursue a degree in business, and has previous work experience in accounting.

Abbas - Chanika Site Manager

Abbas has worked for EGG-energy since 2010.  He was recently promoted to the site manger position, where he has shown great energy and initiative.  His previous jobs include revenue collection for the city of Dar es Salaam’s environmental services, and merchandising for Coca Cola.

Jonathan has been working with EGG-energy since early 2010.  Before joining the team, he served in the Tanzanian Navy.  Jonathan is responsible for managing the battery-swapping at Chanika, and keeps the charging station well organized.  In this picture, he is measuring the voltage of a battery.
