SAMSUNG E&A

Hello, I am Fawzi Alhosani, the head of the Government Relations (GR) team at SAMSUNG E&A UAE. I will explain some of the work we do on the GR team, how it is managed, and the process involved. We coordinate with UAE regulations to ensure permits and manage all visa processing. This includes ensuring that employees maintain good standing within the UAE and some GCC countries. Our focus is on compliance with the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE) and the Federal Authority for Labor and Citizenship, as well as customs and port security (ICP/ICB), which is similar to the Ministry of Interior (MOI) and immigration.

We handle all visa processes for employees, whether it’s an employment visa, mission visa, service visa, or temporary visa. We also issue gate passes in collaboration with SISPA for employment purposes and coordinate with stakeholders such as ADNOC and customs authorities. The same process applies to our vehicles and equipment to issue work permits and security passes, ensuring smoother operations.

We support Emiratisation by managing all employee documents and certificates, including contracts and visa cancellations, through the ICB system, using a digital tracking system. We monitor permits, regulatory updates, and affected programs to align our strategy with the GR department and SAMSUNG E&A’s goals. Our aim is to be a successful team providing excellent service to employees.

Hello, my name is George. I am the group leader for procurement at SAMSUNG E&A the Abu Dhabi office.

Our procurement role involves managing the supply chain and leveraging global sourcing capabilities to secure high-quality materials and ensure timely delivery. We focus on integrating new technologies and materials while considering the various equipment requirements for plant consumption.

We implement a structured process management approach that aligns with the unique characteristics of each project and contractual requirements. This ensures efficient resource allocation, minimizes risks, and optimizes procurement workflows, ultimately reducing costs and accelerating construction timelines.

Given the complexity of projects involving design, procurement, and construction, we take a proactive approach to manage potential delays through continuous collaboration with key stakeholders and data-driven decision-making. We identify challenges early and implement effective solutions to ensure seamless project execution and timely contract delivery.

Additionally, we provide troubleshooting support to resolve procurement-related issues such as supply chain disruptions, material quality concerns, and vendor management challenges. By implementing proactive strategies and real-time problem-solving measures, we ensure seamless project execution and contract fulfillment.

As a global EPC company, SAMSUNG E&A offers a dynamic environment to gain hands-on experience in world-class procurement operations. Through structured process management and problem-solving, you can enhance your expertise, develop sourcing skills, and grow into a proficient procurement professional. Thank you.
