About This Role
This is a database leadership position inside a construction and infrastructure contractor rather than a tech company, which shapes the work considerably. You would be the person responsible for keeping the data systems behind project planning, procurement, equipment tracking and site reporting running reliably. It suits a senior DBA who is comfortable being the sole authority on database matters in an organisation where IT is a support function, not the core business.
What the Requirements Say About This Role
The seniority band tells you they want someone who has already carried production responsibility through failures, migrations and growth, not someone still building foundational skills. Because the employer is an ISO-certified contractor operating across multiple project types, expect the profile to favour people who can document, standardise and audit their work, not just tune queries. The emphasis on communication signals a role where you will translate technical constraints to engineers and project managers who are not technologists.
How to Approach This Application
Lead with concrete ownership: databases you have designed, migrated or rescued, and the business outcome each produced. Given the construction context, highlight any experience supporting ERP, project management or asset tracking systems, since that is likely what you would inherit. Address your willingness and ability to relocate to Conakry explicitly and early, because overseas hiring managers screen out uncertain candidates quickly. Certifications and ISO or audit-related experience are worth naming.
Who This Role Suits
Best suited to a self-directed senior DBA with relocation appetite and tolerance for a lean IT environment; competition is likely moderate, as the relocation requirement narrows the applicant pool considerably.
