Hi!
Okay I can start!
I am Pauline, 27, moving to Lubumbashi in June 2024 with my congolese husband.
He is working as a civil engineer there already, and I am looking for a job. I am an industrial buyer with experience in project management, purchasing and supply chain.
I have worked in nuclear, aviation and defense industry.
I am very open to challenges! and to any opportunities in this filed of skills.
Okay, so I will be reading your tips and maybe find out opportunities.
I am open to discussion!
happy new year to all,
Pauline
Hello pauline !
Whenever am Congolese, am contacting you from Canada. Ithink the best way to looking for job is to stay linked to your congolese husband who is already working in Congo. As you are all angineers, it will be easy maybe to ask for job to be his workmate.
I case you know some expats in Montreal, Canada, please let me know as here is difficult to get friendlly persons.
Best reagrds and happy new year
Hello everyone! My name is Jean-Marc, I live in Lubumbashi, I'm Congolese, I speak French and I get by quite well in English, I'm not here as an expatriate but more as a guide, I can honestly guide people who want to settle in the Democratic Republic of Congo, mainly in the province of Katanga, facilities management, accommodation, business...
Good morning,
I am a South African expat currently living in Lubumbashi.
I would like to enquire if there any job opportunities available in the Lubumbashi area?
I have 10 years experience in procurement, administration, stores management and sales in the petroleum and retail industries. I am looking for a similar position in any industry if there is something available.
I am a fast learner who can work well in a team or on my own. I pride myself in excellence and will work day and night to achieve the goals we have set out to achieve. I am dedicated and loyal and believe these are excellent qualities to have in any working environment.
Thank you in advance for your time and consideration
Regards,
Barry Gribble

Greetings everyone,
I trust this message finds you in good spirits.
My name is Melkote, and I am an Indian national currently residing in Kolwezi, Democratic Republic of Congo. I am an Instrumentation Engineer and serve as a Project Manager for a company that specializes in mining projects in the Katanga region. I find this forum to be highly informative and an excellent platform for engaging with the expatriate community in the DRC.
Thank you.
Hi, my name Abdul R.
I am relocating to Kinshasa next week from India. Want to connect with any Indian who has gone through similar transition. Thing to do and don't. Considering there might be some cultural habit which might be instinct to us but is a big no-no in DRC.
Thanks
