Overview
Qatarization is a strategic initiative by the Government of Qatar to provide employment for its citizens in the private and public sectors.
The philosophy is to develop Nationals who will be able to competently fulfill the roles and responsibilities assigned to them in their target positions.
AZF ND will seek all options to develop Nationals where there is a willingness and desire on their part to work hard and show loyalty towards the organization.
Our objective is to achieve "Quality in Qatarization" whereby we seek to recruit, train and develop and retain quality and competent Qatari males and females to assume permanent positions in our facilities.
In this regard our approach is strongly linked to performance and proven competency as these relate to meeting our operational requirements and consequent organizational success.
Newly joined national graduates have a special training program tailor-made to develop their knowledge and skills called “Development Plan”.
We always look for ambitious individuals who are interested in pursuing the challenges of life.
