Saipan TribuneBy Marconi CalindasThe Philippine Overseas Labor Office in Madrid successfully secured high-end and better-paying jobs for overseas Filipino workers from the largest Spanish engineering and construction company in Spain.
Labor and Employment Secretary Arturo D. Brion reported yesterday that the Tecnicas Reunicas, S.A has asked the POLO’s approval for the recruitment of 45 Filipino engineers from the Philippines.
TRSA is reported to be the largest Spanish engineering and construction company in the oil and gas sector with existing and forthcoming projects in various countries worldwide.
“The company was recently awarded by the Saudi Basic Industries Corp. the construction of the phenolics facilities project which will be implemented by Saudi Kayan Petrochemical Co. in Al-Jubail,†said DOLE.
Aside from constructing the facilities, TRSA will also carry out the engineering design, procurement, and the management of the project, said Brion.
Brion said the POLO in Madrid, through labor Attache Ramon T. Tionloc Jr., negotiated with the TRSA to get the jobs for highly skilled Filipino engineers.
"High-end jobs ensure better pay and other employment conditions that promote the welfare of OFWs. This has been the main consideration of the labor attachés during a web conference they conducted recently as a group," he said.
The labor attachés manning the 34 POLOs situated in locations with high concentration of OFWs worldwide have already been alerted during the conference to pay closer attention to labor markets that can offer high-end employment opportunities for OFWs.
POLO Madrid found the TRSA’s employment terms and conditions acceptable and favorable for OFWs and subsequently approved the request of TRSA to recruit 45 engineers from the Philippines.
The POLO in Madrid is continuously networking with various Spanish firms, especially in the engineering and heavy industries sector with projects in the Middle East, in a bid to corner more high-end jobs for OFWs.
