The third collaboration between Sinopec Group and Vietnam Manpower has brought Kuwait more than 200 oil and gas workers on the 13th August 2018

Within less than 1 year, Sinopec has had three times cooperated with Vietnam Manpower recruiting Vietnamese workers for two positions: Welders and Fitters in oil and gas fields. Three successive recruitments with more than 500 employees in eight months are indicative of long-term and trusted cooperation between Sinopec Kuwait and Vietnam Manpower. For the third cooperation on the 13th August 2018, the recruitment took place at three locations in Vietnam including Hanoi, Haiphong and Nghe An within 10 consecutive days under quality inspection of the third parties: Bureau Veritas China and Apave Vietnam for four positions: Welders, Foremen for welders, Fitters and Foremen for fitters which add up more than 300 candidates in total – the biggest number of workers recruited by Sinopec Kuwait so far and predicted to continuously increase in the future.

Sinopec Group is a super-large petroleum and petrochemical enterprise group. With 20 years working in energy and chemical fields, Sinopec has grown as the largest refining company in the world and its total number of gas stations was rank third place on Fortune's Global 500 List in 2017.​
