Construction Middle East: Arabian Civil Engineers by GineersNow GineersNow Engineering Magazine Issue No. 014, Sau | Page 10

In GineersNow, we like to shake things up by changing a few things
now and then. So, it shouldn’t be a surprise for all of you if we make
quite a change in our magazine. This April, we have prepared
something different for our readers to enjoy.
Introducing GineersNow: Construction Leaders.
EDITOR’S
NOTE
In this issue, we have prepared special articles for our readers,
especially engineers working in the construction and electric power
industries. Featuring write-ups that also focus on today’s power
demands, we take on a full analysis of the water and electricity crisis
around the globe. From the Middle East to Africa, we explore the
current trends on the power generations and power solutions for
different regions around the world.
Discussing the future of the construction industry, this month’s cover
story features Zahid Group. Zahid Group has been in business for
over a century already, establishing a good rapport
among its partners through its partnerships, joint ventures and
subsidiaries. It is currently based in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia and offers
different services and solutions for several industries, including
construction, electricity and water generation, agriculture, mining, oil
and gas, power, material handling, building materials, real estate
development, travel and tourism, hospitality, and transportation and
logistics.
What makes Zahid Group stand out among its competition is its
commitment to develop and maintain a sustainable business model.
The model is based on compassionate capitalism that looks after its
people, its clients, the community and the environment while
remaining to be a “viable and profitable business”. In this exclusive
interview with the company’s Vice President of HR & Group Affairs,
Mr. Amr Khashoggi shares the company’s plans for its future and its
latest technologies and discusses how the company continues to
support its causes and CSR initiatives.
Aside from the discussions about the construction and power
industries, we have also prepared stories and features that discuss
better management of a team. We’ve also included leadership articles
to prepare our readers once they take control of higher positions in
their companies.
So it’s that time of the month to sit back and relax. Get your
monthly dose of engineering and technology news and stories
