Challenges
Client Challenges and Specific Requirements
- Recruiting and mobilizing 300+ skilled professionals under tight timelines
- Managing complex logistics in remote mining areas
- Ensuring compliance with Guinean labor laws and HSE standards
- Coordinating expatriate deployment, housing, and workforce rotation
The GAC mining project required large-scale construction of mining, crushing, storage, and transport infrastructures, including two rail connections linking the mine to the port of Kamsar, 120 km away. The project’s scope demanded a massive and highly coordinated workforce composed of both local and international experts.
The main challenge was sourcing, mobilizing, and managing over 300 professionals within a short timeframe while ensuring full compliance with Guinean labor and safety regulations. The site’s remoteness added further complexity in terms of transport, accommodation, and workforce welfare.
IOTA Group was selected to provide full-scale Technical Consulting and HR services, from recruitment and onboarding to payroll, logistics, and expatriate management. IOTA handled visa procedures, medical checks, housing arrangements, and all administrative tasks, enabling the client to focus on production and construction performance.
Through proactive coordination and 24/7 field presence, IOTA ensured safe, compliant, and uninterrupted operations on site.
