Hiring across the board Qatar based main contractor KCT engages in massive recruitment drive.

Construction leviathan, KCT, or Khayyat Contracting and Trading is about to commence a massive recruitment drive, aimed at attracting the very best from the construction sector, according to a recent statement from the company. With jobs ranging from managerial positions, through to blue collar labourers, KCT has good reason for expanding its workforce. While the rest of the world continues to recover from the hangover of the global recession, Qatar has enjoyed healthy levels of economic growth for some time. Representing a unique case altogether, Qatars immense resources and strategic governance has seen its meteoric rise to becoming the wealthiest country in the world per capita within only a few decades of its independence from the United Kingdom in 1971. KCT, like many companies in the country have been quick to capitalise on the high levels of infrastructure demand, not to mention liquidity, which are currently transforming this previously quiet peninsula, into a highly cosmopolitan destination within the Middle East. Representing a number of construction projects ranging from stadiums to hotels, chief executive officer Moutaz Khayyat commented; It is an esteemed privilege to have the opportunity to support Qatars national development through a variety of projects and we are excited to be expanding our operations in the second half of this year. KCTs human resources director, Ryno Greef said, An important feature about working in Qatar is you must prove your specific qualifications for the job in question. As an example, a project engineer will not get a project engineer visa unless he has the relevant degree in engineering. Certainly with a lengthy list of projects to work on, Qatar has the requirements to meet both a FIFA World Cup in 2022 and a National Vision by 2030, meaning that for those who are interested in the long haul, the capacity for work is almost never ending, most likely a breath of fresh air for a number of the European economies that are still gripped in high levels of unemployment.
