The China Road and Bridge Corporation (CRBC) has opened applications for hundreds of positions for the Ksh170 billion Rironi-Gilgil and Rironi-Maai Mahiu-Naivasha road project.
The announcement was made through a recruitment notice obtained by Kenyans.co.ke, recruiting across three broad categories: construction and site works, drivers and plant operators, and technical and support roles.
“China Road and Bridge Corporation Kenya invites qualified candidates to apply for employment opportunities under the Rironi – Gilgil (A8) and Rironi – Maai Mahiu – Naivasha (A8 South) Road Project,” stated CRBC.
For those with hands-on skills, CRBC lists positions for general laborers, masons, steel fixers, formwork carpenters, concrete workers, welders, foremen, and piling workers, meaning both trained tradespeople and semi-skilled workers have a real opportunity here.

Drivers and machine operators are equally in demand, with the company seeking truck drivers, water bowser drivers, oil tanker drivers, crane operators, excavator operators, grader operators, roller operators, bulldozer operators, and other plant machinery specialists across the project.
On the technical side, CRBC needs civil engineers, surveyors, plant and equipment engineers, mechanics, electricians, Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) officers and assistants, management support officers, and security personnel.
Step-By-Step Application
To qualify, CRBC mandates that candidates be Kenyan citizens living in Kenya and hold valid national documentation.
Additionally, CBBC strongly encourages qualified candidates from communities along the project corridor, meaning locals in areas such as Rironi, Limuru, Maai Mahiu, Naivasha, and Gilgil stand a notably higher chance of being shortlisted.
“Applicants must be legally eligible to work in Kenya, hold a valid National ID, have relevant experience, and possess valid licences/certificates where required,” stated CRBC.
“Qualified candidates from communities along the project corridor are encouraged to apply.”
Candidates must also prepare their curriculum vitae (CV), relevant certificates or licenses, contact details, and clearly state the position they are applying for before submitting everything to the company’s official recruitment email address: a8roadproject@crbc.com before the May 25 deadline.
CRBC remains one of the most active construction firms operating in the country, having engaged in monumental construction projects in the country, including the 472 km Mombasa-Nairobi Standard Gauge Railway, completed in 2017, and the ongoing Nairobi-Malaba SGR extension.
On roads, CRBC constructed the 27.1 km Nairobi Expressway, the Southern and Eastern Bypasses, and sections of the Nairobi-Nakuru-Mau Summit Highway, significantly easing congestion across the country’s busiest transport corridors.
Beyond transport, CRBC is building the 60,000-seat Talanta Stadium for the African Cup of Nations (AFCON 2027), the Bomas International Convention Complex, and Mombasa’s 660-meter Likoni Floating Bridge, cementing its role in Kenya’s broader development agenda.
