Engie Stomo, an affiliate of global energy leader Engie (formerly GDF Suez) recently announced the promotion of more Omani nationals to key senior positions within the company.

Zayid al Abri and Hussam al Mughizwi, engineers who have been pursuing their careers with Engie Stomo, now join a team that manages a critical process of the operations and maintenance of the power plants operated by Engie Stomo, which contribute close to 50 per cent of Oman''s demand for power and water, a company press release said on Monday.

''Engie Stomo is taking pioneering steps this year to enhance its maintenance skills across the fleet skills aligned to its nationalisation commitments. Localisation is one of the key challenges for the industry as there are limited local skills available and many companies are searching for similar talent and skills. This year, Engie Stomo has specifically focused on internal development of its local maintenance skills which include contracting with local training institutes in Muscat and Sohar to deliver new technicians, and engineering skills development. Engie Stomo is particularly very proud of selecting two outstanding Omani engineers to step into our first trainee maintenance manager roles. As the largest provider of operation and maintenance services of power plants in the sultanate, having Omani nationals at senior positions of our operations is indeed a great achievement not just for the company, but for the industry,'' said Mike Maudsley, CEO of Engie Stomo.

''As an affiliate of Engie, we have a responsibility to build local capacity, and these movements, and their evident promotions to key leadership positions is a demonstration of our intent, and commitment towards Omanisation. Engie Stomo truly believes in developing Omani human capital and the recent promotions can only inspire more young and talented Omani nationals to join their ranks,'' he added.

''Being one of the few Omani nationals in the role of a site manager gives me great joy and pride. Working with Engie Stomo has been rewarding in many ways. One gets the opportunity to work in dynamic and challenging sector, while making meaningful contributions to the society in both economic and social terms, by delivering the essential utilities of power and water,'' said Mughizwi.
