ABU DHABI / WAM
Emirates Global Aluminium (EGA) is looking to recruit as many as 50 UAE nationals at Tawdheef, the Abu Dhabi career fair for roles in science, technology, engineering and mathematics-related fields, collectively known as STEM.
The positions are for experienced hires, graduate trainees, and young people to join its craft apprenticeship programmes. The EGA also has openings available at Tawdheef in other disciplines. It already employs over 1,540 people in STEM disciplines, including some 500 UAE nationals.
The EGA operates aluminium smelters in both Abu Dhabi and Dubai, which are amongst the largest industrial sites in the country, and it is currently building the UAE’s first alumina refinery in Abu Dhabi.
The EGA has focused on innovation in the UAE for over 25 years and has used its own technology in every smelter expansion since the 1990s.
It has also recently completed retrofitting all its older production lines using its own technology. The “UAE Vision 2021†calls for innovation, research, science and technology to form the pillars of a knowledge-based, highly productive and competitive economy.
