Going with [unclear] came from University is a great transition because I find that those problem-solving skills apply right here in this department, but I also find that being on site in a place where I can see the plans and the visual is right there is a lot more helpful than just seeing things in textbooks.

There is a large emphasis on Qatar Shell on ensuring that work/life balance is present and making sure that my work responsibility doesn’t overtake my personal life.

[Translation of Arabic] The main reason I joined Qatar Shell is because of its unique reputation that it has in terms of development and being one of the elite companies in the field of Oil and Gas. Being here in Pearl GTL has given me the opportunity to work with highly experienced engineers who have worked on various projects across the world. Having such qualified engineers helped us at Shell Qatar to build a professional experience and competency that cannot be taught in any classrooms or universities.

Looking for the past four years, especially the first two years of my career in Shell, and especially coming back from actually working somewhere else I can honestly say that the Graduate Development Program has been an extremely important tool to use for my development and I can say that a year in Shell can actually give you much more than a couple of years elsewhere.

One of the distinct opportunities working in Qatar Shell is being able to work in international assignment. Specifically, what I learnt from my international assignment in The Netherlands was that you get to interact with subject matter experts from all over the globe. You got from New Zealand, you got from Australia, you got from Amsterdam, as well as people from Houston. And that level of network is absolutely valuable.

The reason I joined Qatar Shell six years ago was the people factor. To invest in people was very important to Qatar Shell and this was obvious to me from the very beginning.

For me quality quality Qatarization is a commitment. It should come first from the employee which is the most important, second from the line manager. Also, the commitment is very important to recognize the output [?] and to provide the right coach and development. And a third party should come from the [unclear] putting the right KPI and also create the right environment to live the both parties, line manager and employee working very well.
