Know your Colleague

‘‘ Just like our company’s tagline, it has been an enriching and enterprising experience for me ever since I joined SBGH. ‘‘

Salim Rashid Mohammed AL Ruqueshi

Please tell us about yourself I was born in the Wilayat of Izki in 1962 and we moved to Muscat in 1974. My late father worked with the Ministry of Regional Municipalities and Water Resources and my mother was a home maker. I am the sixth one among the 12 siblings of five girls and seven boys. I am married and have nine kids with five boys and four girls.

Brief us on your academic background After my parents moved to Muscat, I completed my schooling from Hassan Bin Thabith school in Muttrah. In 1981, I joined the Royal Army of Oman and continued my education there where I was sent to England for training to become a training instructor. I also did a course in Jordan in 1994. I retired from the army in 2003 and started driving a truck. Then I got a contract with SBGH to transport their goods and materials to the project site in desert and remote areas. It was in 2007 the lady luck smiled on me when I got an opportunity to join SBGH as a supervisor at BPT. With hard work and dedication over the years, today I am a site coordinator now. What is your functional role? As a site coordinator, I have to visit the project sites of BPT-involved projects in different locations across the country. At present I am supervising a BPT project site in Ibri. Since I am familiar with desert conditions, whenever BPT bags a PDO-related project I get additional responsibility to ensure all the materials, goods reach the PDO project site on time without any loss of time. How has been your work experience so far At BPT it is an enriching and enterprising experience like our company’s tagline. I have received very good support from the company as well as my

colleagues and superiors. Our General Manager Mr. Yasser Al Kheir is very supportive and because of this BPT is doing very well in the market. The work culture and atmosphere is very good at SBGH. I am very thankful for being a part of such a wonderful corporate company. Which project or assignment has given you immense job satisfaction In 2017, I was supervising a project in Mabruk in PDO area. The project was completed in a record eight months without any accidents or injury loss time. This was a memorable moment for me as my job was hailed by one and all both in PDO and my bosses in BPT. This project will always remain etched in my memory. Any suggestions to improve the work environment at SBGH Our company should support the local workforce specially the youngsters who can be sent along with seniors to project sites to gain firsthand practical experience. Moreover, it will help them perform well in the long run rather than giving him classroom training. For a youngster to perform well or learn he should be sent to sites especially at BPT as most of the projects are outside. What are your plans for the future? I would like to train aspiring youngsters to be more productive by giving them practical and field visit experience. I want the company to perform with same zeal for a long time to come so that both SBGH and BPT gets stronger footing in the market. How have your parents influenced you in life? My parents have supported in all my endeavors. Initially they were reluctant when I told them I am joining the army as they wanted to complete my education. But somehow I managed to convince them. But still they supported me in everything and it is because of their blessings I have reached a respectable position in my life. How do you spend your leisure time? Since most of the time I am immersed in office work, I rarely get time to spend with my big family. However, in my leisure time I spend good time with my family and I take them out to picnics and parks.
