From the newsletter
Circular Rising has curated 34 open jobs across Africa’s circular economy this month. Southern Africa dominates the listing with 11 roles, including 10 in South Africa alone. North Africa follows with 10 positions, while West Africa has 7, East Africa 4 and Central Africa just 1.
Most openings are technical, engineering and operational roles, primarily mid- to senior-level positions such as senior engineers, technical managers, project leads and consultants, with fewer entry-level roles in operations, logistics, or administrative support.
Morocco’s Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (UM6P) stands out as the single largest employer, offering five positions ranging from professor and postdoctoral fellowships to research roles in ESG, waste valorisation, decarbonisation and sustainable plastic recycling.
