About the company

Founders' message

From the Co-Founder and Managing Director

We as a company and team take pride in the fact that we have come from very humble beginnings, building this organisation brick by brick. None of this could have been possible without the dedication, skill and integrity of our team, and we owe all our success to the 5,000+ ladies and gentlemen who have paved the way for where AZEP stands today over our 30+ years of history. I also take this opportunity to thank all our clients and associates, without whose trust and support we would not be where we are today.

Today we have the distinguished recognition in the Sultanate of Oman of being one of the companies that have completed and handed over almost one hundred successful projects of various scales and sectors. Another feather in our cap is that AZEP has constructed the highest number of bridges in Oman, over fifty, more than any of our competitors.

At AZEP, there are continuous efforts to ensure that our employees are involved with a company that delivers excellence, is trusted, and provides room for professional growth. It is vital to remember that success requires the highest standards of corporate ethics towards everyone we work with, the communities we serve and the environment we impact. We aim to build a culture that ensures the values present in the foundation of our company remain intact and are only strengthened over time, the path we have chosen towards sustainable, profitable growth while creating long-term value for all stakeholders.

The past few years in business globally have been more challenging than ever. We at AZEP have welcomed and embraced this challenge as an opportunity: it has enabled us to re-evaluate and modify our business so that we are able to offer our clients superior and safe solutions at even more competitive and affordable costs. We strongly believe that any company that wishes to sustain itself in a society must do so responsibly, and has a duty to give back to it. The major operations of AZEP remain in the Sultanate of Oman, and thus it has our highest regard and respect.

AZEP aims to be in full agreement with the Oman Vision 2040, which places a strong emphasis on In-Country Value and Omanisation. We do not treat these only as requirements of the law, we take extra steps to invest in training, developing, promoting and harnessing local talent and SMEs. We look at the years ahead with renewed energy, enthusiasm and resolve, while staying committed to our core values of excellence, quality, speed, safety and integrity.

HSE policy

It is the policy of AZEP to provide, maintain and improve, as much as possible, the safety, health and environmental conditions on the job. We provide the necessary training, awareness of rules and discipline to instil safe working habits and attitudes in all our employees, and ensure that all work is planned safely, with the actions needed to promote good health and prevent injuries, ill health or any adverse effects on employees and other individuals who may be affected by our activities.

Management holds overall responsibility for health and safety, giving it equal priority alongside other business attributes, with adequate resources provided to all employees. It remains the responsibility of everyone to understand their role in implementing this policy; wilful violations at any level may be cause for disciplinary action. The organisation continuously improves its health and safety performance through risk assessment, work permits, safe working procedures, emergency response planning, housekeeping, waste management and pollution control, complying with client site regulations and the rules of federal and local authorities.
