OUR OWNERSHIP

Did you know that we are a majority Namibian-owned entity?

ESTABISHLED IN 2023

AltGen Namibian branch was opened in 2023 and has been developed in order to service the burgeoning renewable energy and sustainability sectors in Namibia. Namibia’s stable economy and its recent push to decarbonisation have led to massive investment into some very interesting projects.  

This fascinating country is home to the world’s oldest desert, which has been around for roughly 55 million years, and has some of the highest dunes on the planet.  You can also find the largest population of free-roaming cheetahs here as well as the second largest canyon in the world.

Namibia is blessed with abundant sunshine, making it an ideal location for solar energy projects. The country receives some of the highest levels of solar irradiation in the world.

Namibia’s coastal regions experience strong and consistent winds, making wind power another viable renewable energy option.  According to Irena’s 2019 report, solar energy contributes to roughly 30% of Namibia’s annual electricity generation while hydro/marine energy makes up the biggest portion, contributing to roughly 70%. Other forms of renewable energy used include bioenergy and geothermal energy.

In addition to the mentioned renewable energy sources above, Namibia is set to be one of the leaders in green hydrogen projects in Africa. It is clear that clean energy access is truly at the heart of the country.

OUR NAMIBIAN TRACK RECORD

We have also partnered with relevant clients in Namibia and undertaken to develop skills identification activities that will ensure at least 90% of staff on relative renewable energy projects commencing in the coming years will have local Namibian residents. 
 
For AltGen, we believe that enabling local upskilling through providing job creation is key. The economic development of the country will be pegged on creating meaningful jobs. Our end goal of enhancing employment is facilitated through our engagements with our client’s hiring mandates. We strive to ensure that our employment service solutions not only meet the needs of the upstream employers but also provide our temporary staff with first-class service as well as personal engagement. We truly care about each team member’s needs and have a wealth of experience in HR advisory and project deployment. 
 
AltGen is the leader in green talent acquisition, workforce management and employer of records services. If you would like to enquire about our capabilities and expertise contact us today.

Had a great experience with the AltGen team. I sent Kerryn, a LinkedIn DM in March 2023 telling her I am looking for opportunities in the Renewable Energy Sector. She asked for my CV and told me she'll keep in touch. August 2023, she gave me a call about an opportunity she thinks would be perfect for me. Her and the AltGen team set up my interviews and other Recruitment related matters. And I got my dream job. Thank you to the AltGen team.
