Human Resources Joint Venture Support Division

The local and global expansion of Saudi Aramco through the creation of more business partners translates into an increase in Human Resources (HR) support for these new partners.

The essential role of the Human Resources Joint Venture Support Divison (HRJVSD) is to support Saudi Aramco joint ventures, subsidiaries and affiliates through their journey from startups to fully operational and sustainable entities. Their success will be determined by how they can attract, develop, engage and retain a competent workforce through an effective HR strategy.

The HRJVSD team will provide HR support that makes a difference.

“Our downstream strategy and its chemicals-focused components will enable progress toward multiple objectives, including strengthening the future position of oil and adding greater economic value. In addition to diversifying our business portfolio, it will also make Saudi Aramco more robust and resilient, and deliver results regardless of market volatility.”

Remarks by Amin H. Nasser, Saudi Aramco President & CEO, 13th Annual Gulf Petrochemicals & Chemicals Association Forum 2018, DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, November 28, 2018
