“We have talented people in our structure that can lead and manage the business. Plus, we are specialized in certain services which we pioneered. We maintain that advantage. We also have our Parent company supporting us. This is a strength that perhaps other companies do not have. We have experience from being heavily involved in oil and gas and the oil sector,” says Jamal N. Al-Houti, Board Member & CEO of HOT Engineering Co.
“We have a strategy to become different than others by acquiring new specialized services which support our business and strength in oil and gas.

“In the construction and contracting field in Kuwait, the oil and gas sector is our biggest area.

Al Sharhan, GM – Business Development & Tendering of HOT Engineering Co.
HOT Engineering Co. used to be the pioneer in contracting, specifically in oil and gas. The current vision of the company is to regain that position as many contractors have left the market. HOT Engineering’s CEO thinks it is their chance to once again be among the leaders and to be recognized in Kuwait.
“We are very proud to participate in the new refinery project. In other fields, like infrastructure, we signed a contract with the General Department of Civil Aviation to construct the Third Runway for Kuwait Airport.”
