Award Winning Telecommunication Engineer
We at Lajo practice transparent accountability, skillful contract execution and timely schedules for completion that have endeared the Company to a universe of contract awarding Authorities.
The sponsors and indeed technical management of the company have vast experience in technical field. The company has all the required documentations in this country and has financial capability and tools to undertake contracts. One of the sponsors/technical personnel obtains a telecommunications technical personnel license class A from Communication Authority of Kenya and is committed to supervise the works undertaken by this company. Lajo Engineering Works Limited is licensed by Communication Authority of Kenya as a Telecommunications Contractor’s License class A in Installations (I), Maintenance (M), Internal Wiring (W) and External Wiring (E) of both wireless and wireline systems. Lajo is also licensed by National Construction Authority (NCA) to undertake building/civil construction and Telecommunications works.
Majority of employees of Lajo Engineering previously worked with Telkom Kenya Limited where they gained experience in mobile networks, fiber works and other ICT equipment.
Transparent accountability, skillful contract execution and timely schedules for completion, have also endeared the Company to a universe of contract awarding Authorities. During their six years of Engineering services, they have not encountered any material deficiency, technical or otherwise that guaranteed severe reprimand but the occasional ones, which were instantly improved upon the established contractors. And the same spirit is being rekindled to higher echelons of competitive contract bidding, and thereby graduating into a construction service provider. Unless extremely otherwise, the sponsors hardly occasion interim contract variations in view of their technical and financial skills of expertise bidding.
