Job overview

It is via a recruitment notice that the firm Kapi Consult Côte d’Ivoire, specialized in human resources, announces the opening of a high-level position on behalf of TRANSCO CLSG. This company was created thanks to the initiative of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), which had set up the West African Electricity Exchange System (WAPP) with the aim of ensuring a sustainable electricity supply in the sub-region. In 2008, ECOWAS authorized WAPP to set up entities dedicated to specific objectives, in order to accelerate the implementation of regional electricity transmission projects. It is in this context that the CLSG interconnection project was launched, linking Côte d’Ivoire, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea, with the construction of a 1,303 km transport line accompanied by a dozen substations. A treaty signed in 2012 gave birth to the company TRANSCO CLSG, responsible for making this project a reality. Then, in 2014, a first General Manager was appointed to oversee the implementation, operation and maintenance of this infrastructure and its associated equipment. Subsequently, a temporary operator was hired by TRANSCO CLSG to maintain the line, while commercial activities began in December 2021. Resolution TRANSCOCLSG/CA/172/RES.27/02/23, adopted on 27 February 2023 by the Board of Directors, provides for the recruitment of a new Chief Executive Officer. With the current incumbent’s term ending at the end of March 2025, the Board of Directors called on Kapi Consult to lead the selection of the future leader, who will be responsible for the strategic and operational direction of TRANSCO CLSG.

Expert Application Advice

Votre parcours de leadership en Afrique correspond parfaitement aux besoins de l'entreprise recrutante. Insistez sur votre capacité à naviguer des environnements complexes, en mentionnant comment vous avez déjà satisfait les compétences demandées dans l'annonce avec des résultats tangibles. Montrez que vous comprenez les réalités locales.

Positionnement — Votre lettre de motivation doit répondre à une seule question : pourquoi VOUS pour CE poste précis à CE moment ? Évitez les lettres génériques — une phrase sur ce que vous apportez spécifiquement vaut mieux que trois paragraphes généraux.

  • •Never pay any amount of money — for a file, a training, a uniform, or an interview. A real employer never asks the candidate to pay.
  • •Never send a photo of your ID card, passport, or banking details before you have physically verified the employer exists.
  • •Always meet in a public place, during the day — never an isolated address, a private home, or a location you cannot verify in advance.
  • •Tell a relative or friend exactly where you are going, with whom, and at what time — and share your live location if possible.
  • •Search the company name online before going: a real business has a trace (website, reviews, other employees, an official address).
  • •A salary that is far above the market rate for the position and the city is a red flag — be extra cautious.
