About This Role
This is a senior governance role inside a construction and infrastructure contractor, not a software or office-based IT security job. TACON builds stadiums, roads, runways and industrial plants, so the compliance side of this position likely centres on ISO standards, site safety regimes and regulatory obligations tied to large public works contracts. It suits someone who can translate security and compliance frameworks into the daily reality of project sites and a growing workforce.
What the Requirements Say About This Role
The executive seniority level signals that TACON wants someone to own the compliance function rather than execute a checklist — likely building or formalising systems as the company expands. The emphasis on communication in a bilingual West African operating environment hints that the role involves persuading site teams, contractors and possibly international clients, not just writing policy. The profile being sought is probably a self-directed professional comfortable with ambiguity in a fast-growing contractor.
How to Approach This Application
Lead with concrete evidence of compliance frameworks you have implemented, especially ISO-related work or audits you have led, since TACON's ISO certification is clearly a point of pride. Show that you understand construction or heavy-industry environments, because a purely corporate security background may read as untested on site. Given the location, address your willingness and ability to work in Conakry early and without hesitation.
Who This Role Suits
Best suited to an experienced compliance or HSE-adjacent professional with construction, engineering or infrastructure exposure who is ready for a leadership post in West Africa. Competition is likely moderate — the executive title and location will narrow the pool, but it also means candidates who clearly meet both criteria stand out quickly.
