Focus on high quality human resources

Over the years, Nghe An Petroleum Construction Corporation (PVNC) has achieved many great achievements in the field of production and business activities. That success, in addition to the wise and steadfast leadership of the Board of Directors, also has a significant contribution from the staff - those who have been trained and developed with the Corporation over the years.

The journey of creativity and passion

In 2005, the Corporation officially operated as a joint stock company and no longer had state capital; in 2007, it became a member of the Vietnam National Oil and Gas Group (PVN) and the Vietnam Oil and Gas Construction Joint Stock Corporation (PVC). Recognizing the importance of human resources, the Board of Directors pays special attention to planning and training skilled technical staff and workers, attracting talented people with sufficient capacity and intelligence to effectively implement projects to ensure the production and business plans of the Corporation.

In 2008, 2009 and 2010, PVNC cooperated with experts with extensive experience in project management and construction of large projects such as: Dung Quat Polypropylene Plastic Factory, Nghe An Petroleum Building, Project to change technology and add equipment to increase the capacity of the 12/9 Petroleum Cement Factory to 1,500 tons of clinker/day... To ensure human resources for production and business activities, in addition to attracting experienced experts, the Corporation also boldly rejuvenated its human resources by recruiting excellent and excellent graduates from universities with good training quality, such as: University of Construction, National Economics University, University of Science and Technology, Vinh University...

To date, the Corporation has more than 1,600 employees and nearly 600 skilled workers with regular labor contracts. Of these, there are 465 officers and engineers with university and post-graduate degrees, 676 highly skilled workers fully equipped with advanced construction equipment. With the strategy of rejuvenating the staff, PVNC has boldly appointed many young and capable officers to take on key positions in the Corporation as well as in its member units.
