Doha, Qatar: Hiring local talents is a matter of paramount importance for streamlining operational activities in the country, stated an official. When assessing the influence of the implemented initiatives on the local communities, several critical aspects come into play.
In an interview with The Peninsula, Guillermo Hijós, an industry leader in the water desalination sector and the Desalination Director for the Middle East and Oceania at the Water business of ACCIONA said: “Employment is a vital measure of our projects’ impact, with over 200 staff dedicated to operating and maintaining our facilities in Qatar, reflecting their crucial role in our success in the region.”
He continued by saying “Moreover, hiring local talent is paramount for generating employment and retaining skilled individuals within Qatar, contributing to the country’s long-term talent pool and knowledge base. We prioritize filling key positions with local professionals committed to staying in Qatar, ensuring they are well-versed in our plants’ essential operational and maintenance aspects.”
He highlighted that in Qatar, the operations fulfill nearly half of the country’s needs for potable water. This significant figure underscores our commitment to reliability and proactive engagement with clients to promptly address potential issues, ensuring seamless water supply adjustments as needed.
He noted that the entity also conducted a beach cleaning activity with the municipality of Al Warkah in Qatar cleaning over 200 KG of waste from Al Warkah Public Beach in Doha.
