CONTEXT:
Within a Regional Directorate for the Sahel and West Africa (Benin, Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, Senegal, Chad, Togo), Humanity & Inclusion (HI) has been present in Chad intermittently since the 1990s. HI operates in N’Djamena and in Borkou (North), Ennedi (North East), Moundou (South), Lake Chad, Kanem, Barh el Gazel (West) and for the past 2 years in the East on the border with Sudan in Ouddai and Wadi Fira.
The main areas of current intervention are as follows:
– Functional rehabilitation and stimulation therapy as a complement to nutritional responses;
– Inclusive education and education in emergency contexts with child protection;
– The socio-economic integration of the most vulnerable households, particularly through the development of income-generating activities, vocational training, and emergency assistance;
– Le MHPSS ;
– Shared storage
– Conflict transformation and social cohesion.
HI’s strategy in the country is to maintain the level of operations, particularly in emergency response, and to renew a portfolio of development projects, based on its “core areas of expertise” in the country: assistance to vulnerable people, including people with disabilities, inclusion, mine action, physical rehabilitation, education, etc.
YOUR MISSION:
As part of our emergency response to the Sudanese refugee crisis in Chad, HI is strengthening its shared storage action to serve international and national actors in the humanitarian response to this crisis.
Reporting to the Country Logistics Manager, the Atlas logistics manager plays a central role in the implementation of the project.
In this context, your main tasks will be:
Responsibility 1: Conduct the initial logistics diagnosis of the project and contribute to defining the logistics strategy necessary for its implementation, in collaboration with partner teams.
• Identify the infrastructure, equipment and logistical needs required for the implementation of the project;
• Monitor HI’s logistical response capacity in the country of intervention;
• Supervise or contribute to the contracting of warehouses required for the project and their operational implementation;
• Analyze risks and ensure the implementation of the necessary structural logistical arrangements for launching and securing activities, as well as the associated prevention measures;
• Ensure representation, as well as good coordination and communication with humanitarian actors and government authorities, in collaboration with the HI/Atlas Logistics teams;
• Contribute to the organization and operationalization of the shared storage system in conjunction with the relevant partners.
• Produce an evaluation report in their area (supply chain and financial aspects).
Responsibility 2: Oversee the logistical aspects necessary for the launch and smooth operation of the project
• Supervise the planning and implementation of the logistical arrangements necessary for the implementation of the project (purchasing, transport, general services, security), in conjunction with the program teams.
• Develop, implement and update the project’s supply plan in line with operational needs.
• Ensure order tracking, dispute management and rigorous archiving of all purchase files, both in physical format and in Teams and Link, in compliance with HI procedures and donor requirements.
• Ensure the availability and proper functioning of the logistical resources mobilized for the project (buildings, vehicles, equipment, fuel), by optimizing their use.
• Supervise the organization and monitoring of transport related to project activities, ensuring compliance with applicable documents and procedures.
• Contribute to the implementation of logistical measures related to safety and compliance with security rules necessary for conducting activities.
• Ensure the monitoring and management of the project’s logistical activities through logistical monitoring and reporting tools.
Responsibility 3: Ensure the management of human resources under his/her responsibility.
• To supervise the team under his/her supervision and ensure respect for the organization’s values, collaboration with other teams and the application of ethical and safety rules.
The position is likely to evolve depending on the operational context and program needs, potentially leading to a more cross-functional distribution of responsibilities.
SPECIFICITIES/PARTICULARITIES OF THE POSITION:
Adré is a border base in eastern Chad, near Sudan, in a significantly more isolated and operational environment than N’Djamena: leisure and service options (restaurants, shops, sports activities) are limited, and expatriate social life is restricted. The local context remains heavily influenced by the Sudanese crisis and the ongoing arrival of displaced populations, maintaining pressure on resources and a high level of vigilance. The major risk concerns security incidents related to the proximity of the border (spontaneous tensions, opportunistic crime, spillover effects of the conflict), hence the security and movement management rules (temporary restrictions, movement regulations) aimed at reducing exposure to risk while ensuring the continuity of essential activities.
YOUR PROFILE:
– You have at least 3 years of professional experience in humanitarian logistics, ideally in emergency response (rapid deployment / ramp-up).
– You already have proven experience in managing or setting up a logistics platform / warehouse, including significant flows and, if possible, a multi-actor system.
– You have experience in purchasing and contract management (warehouses, transport, handling, fuel/energy) and in supervising service providers in a constrained/secure environment.
– You have mastered the “end-to-end” supply chain in urgent situations (procurement, purchasing, transport, storage, distribution) with a prioritization logic.
– You are proficient in the necessary purchasing management software; knowledge of LINK is a major asset.
