About This Role
This is a foreign procurement role within a West African construction contractor, meaning you would own the pipeline of materials and equipment sourced from outside Guinea — a function that directly determines whether projects stay on schedule. TACON's portfolio of stadiums, runways and heavy civil works demands imported inputs, so this position sits close to the operational core rather than in a back-office support function. It suits someone who understands construction supply chains and is comfortable operating across borders, suppliers and customs realities.
What the Requirements Say About This Role
The executive seniority label signals that TACON wants someone who can set procurement strategy and manage supplier relationships independently, not simply process purchase orders. The emphasis on communication points to a role that involves constant negotiation with international vendors and coordination with site teams — miscommunication here translates into costly delays. The profile being sought is likely a self-directed procurement professional who can navigate import logistics and compliance with limited hand-holding.
How to Approach This Application
Your application should demonstrate concrete experience with international sourcing in construction or heavy industry — import documentation, supplier evaluation, and delivery timelines. Employers like TACON, operating in a competitive contracting market, will prioritize evidence that you have kept projects supplied under pressure and managed vendor relationships across countries. Mention any exposure to West African or similar import environments, and be prepared to discuss how you handle delays and cost escalation.
Who This Role Suits
Best suited to an experienced procurement professional with international sourcing background in construction or infrastructure, ideally with regional exposure. Given the executive level and the specialist nature of foreign procurement, competition is likely moderate but the bar for demonstrated import and vendor management experience is high.
