Alvin Okello

I started my career in June 2004 in Washington DC as an Associate Engineer with Pepco Holdings International. After a role there designing power supply to large commercial and residential buildings within the District, I relocated to Kenya in early 2007, where I have held several roles as an electrical engineer with small and large consulting firms.

Over the years, I have developed skills with ERP software such as SAP, as well as with design software such as Autodesk AutoCAD and REVIT, among others. I have been a part of small and large project teams and led several teams of sub-contractors on various sites both locally and beyond our borders. I am passionate about the engineering practice in general, especially the current move towards green energy and the use of environmentally friendly sources of power within the industry. I have designed projects where solar photovoltaic power was used to complement utility electric power and where automation for lighting and other systems has been required by the clients.

I enjoy meeting and working with people from across the technological divide, am comfortable interacting with clients and all stakeholders to ensure laid down targets are met.

I have over eighteen years of experience, post graduation working as an engineer in the power sector as well as the construction industry. My formative years were spent in the United States working for an electric  power utility and since worked in Kenya for various consulting firms designing electrical services and supervising construction of the same. 

Bachelor of Science Electrical Engineering, University of Maryland College Park - USA
