Business Wire
Petrofac has welcomed more than 60 Indian graduates to its 2019
global graduate programme as the company continues its significant
investment in the Indian market.
The Indian graduates constitute the largest national group in
this year’s intake of 140 graduates from 14 countries and
demonstrate Petrofac’s commitment to growing its Indian talent as
it positions to further expand its EPC offering in the country.
Petrofac is currently executing several high-profile EPC
contracts in India, including: Bharat Petroleum’s Kochi Refinery in
Kerala; the Raageshwari Deep Gas project in Barmer, Rajasthan, for
Vedanta and Cairn India; and the Visakh Refinery Modernisation
Project for Hindustan Petroleum in Andhra Pradesh.
These projects further strengthen Petrofac’s long-term
commitment to India, where the company already employs more than
2,000 Indian engineers and staff in its own engineering centres in
Mumbai, Chennai and Delhi. The world class engineering centres have
been developed over the past 15 years to deliver Petrofac’s
projects for the world’s leading resource holders, as well as
support its growing EPC activities in-country.
As part of Petrofac’s long-term commitment to India, Petrofac
has invested since 2011 in projects to support young people and to
develop Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM)
education. Beneficiaries include Bharat Lok Shiksha Parishad
(BLSP), an Indian charity, which helps bring social and economic
development to remote village communities through literacy and
education programmes. Petrofac supports the BLSP welfare programme
in Delhi and Chennai to fund 200 one-teacher schools.
Group Chief Executive Ayman Asfari said: “India has long been at
the heart of Petrofac’s business. We deliver our engineering
in-house, therefore our Indian engineers have a long history and
track record of delivering EPC projects for the world’s leading
international and national oil company clients around the
globe.”
“We are delighted to have secured 60 talented graduates from
India for this year’s programme. This demonstrates not only our
commitment to develop our in-country talent pipeline but also our
desire to continue to offer high quality, EPC delivery for our
worldwide projects from India, which offers the benefits of global
exposure and expanded opportunities for our Indian engineers.”
“After 15 years of supporting international projects from India
and, given the many investment opportunities in upstream and
downstream we see, we are keen to use our capability to deliver
more EPC projects in India where we can demonstrate the
international quality of delivery, execution, and in-country value
that Petrofac can bring as the market in India develops.”
