Ramu NiCo Management Limited continues to uphold one of its commitments of employment in terms of promoting career and promotion opportunities for all staff by continuing to recruit local men and women from the surrounding and project impact communities.
The Health Safety and Environment Department of Basamuk Refinery is going through a hiring process for its Emergency Response Team, of which these local men and women are expected to start work this month.
Deputy HSE General Manager, Paul Thompson stated “What we are doing first is internal promotions, so where people have shown initiative and have all necessary skills, we are promoting into higher roles.”
Thompson added “Four trainees have been promoted into officer positions and are all local young men. An officer is moving into a supervisory role, who has been here for a number of years and meets all the criteria and we’ll also be bringing in half a dozen new trainees, men and women from the local villages”
Requirements that the company expects from locals is that they have grade eight education, good work ethics, physically fit, and who are willing to take on new challenges.
Thompson added “Over time, these young men and women will learn how to wear breathing apparatus, how to use fire hoses, how to operate trucks, turn the pumps on and off on the trucks, operate road accident rescue equipment; which are hydraulically powered, they will also learn how to enter confined spaces and do height rescues with ropes and abseiling”
