“We have talented people in our structure that can lead and manage the business. Plus, we are specialized in certain services which we pioneered. We maintain that advantage. We also have our Parent company supporting us. This is a strength that perhaps other companies do not have. We have experience from being heavily involved in oil and gas and the oil sector,” says Jamal N. Al-Houti, Board Member & CEO of HOT Engineering Co.
“We have a strategy to become different than others by acquiring new specialized services which support our business and strength in oil and gas. In 2015, HOT Engineering Co. set a new strategy to achieve sustainability and continuity in this field,” says Nawaf A. Al Sharhan, GM – Business Development & Tendering of HOT Engineering Co.
“In the construction and contracting field in Kuwait, the oil and gas sector is our biggest area. Currently, in terms of construction, we are working on a new refinery project that is supervised by Kuwait Integrated Petrochemical Industries Co. (a subsidiary of Kuwait Petroleum Corporation) and Gathering Centers Number 30 and 31 by Kuwait Oil Company (KOC). The total cost of these projects is around 10 billion KD,” says Nawaf A. 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.”
