Al Sharhan, GM – Business Development & Tendering of HOT Engineering Co.
HOT Engineering Co. used to be the pioneer in contracting, specifically in oil and gas. The current vision of the company is to regain that position as many contractors have left the market. HOT Engineering’s CEO thinks it is their chance to once again be among the leaders and to be recognized in Kuwait.
“We are very proud to participate in the new refinery project. In other fields, like infrastructure, we signed a contract with the General Department of Civil Aviation to construct the Third Runway for Kuwait Airport.”
