Dewa to host open employment day for Emiratis

DUBAI, September 4, 2015

Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) is set to organize an open employment day for UAE National technicians at the Dubai Police Officers Club on September 5. 
 
It will receive employment applications for technical specialities at the event, which is part of its efforts to achieve strategic Emiratisation objectives and attract distinguished Emiratis to join, said a statement.
 
DEWA has allocated 300 jobs for UAE nationals this year, it said.
 
DEWA 's technical committees will interview applicants at the event. These include production, power transmission, power distribution, civil and water, power and water planning, and IT. 
 
Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, managing director and chief executive officer, said: ”Dewa’s strategy is to enhance and promote Emiratisation in specialised and quality jobs. This supports the vision and directives of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai. 
 
“It also supports the goals and objectives of the UAE National Agenda to develop the skills of UAE Nationals, and contributes to achieving the UAE Vision 2021 to make the UAE one of the best countries in the world by 2021 and the Dubai Plan 2021 for Dubai to be a city of happy, creative and empowered people.”
 
"Dewa has achieved excellent results in Emiratisation, with UAE Nationals comprising 83.53 per cent of senior management, 44.39 per cent middle management, in Q2 of 2015. In 2014, DEWA launched a scholarship programme for UAE Nationals to get bachelor's degrees in renewable energy abroad,” said Al Tayer.
 
“Dewa’s Academy received students starting from the school year 2013-14 to prepare Emiratis in vocational specialisations. Earlier, DEWA signed agreements with many international organisations and universities to train its staff in Europe and the United States and exchange the experiences and best practices to support DEWA 's organisational excellence," he added. - TradeArabia News Service
