Its brand is known for excellence in quality, timely delivery and business integrity. These accomplishments are the result of the efforts, dedication and hard work of the JE family.We aim to continue a steady growth and

optimise the quality brand recognition we have achieved. For this, we count on every one of you! Competition is fierce and therefore we must intensify our team efforts and values to guarantee that our objectives are met and surpassed. By diversifying and expanding our areas of expertise, JE will remain a valuable and trusted partner to the country’s ambitious development plans.

Over the last decade, the company has enjoyed steady growth in business. It was always management’s vision to embark on new challenges with much larger magnitude and complexity in order to experience significant growth.

“We started the journey a long time ago when we learnt about various infrastructure mega projects. We immediately commenced our search to partner with international contractors that have relevant experience and could add value to the market. We knew that securing one or more of these mega projects would elevate the company to the higher levels we were aiming for, so we had to be ready,”Calfat explained.

THE HARD WORKTwo years ago, the prequalification process started for most of the mega projects; JE succeeded in being shortlisted and participated in tendering most of them with the right international partners. The last two years were very hectic. They were spent in pricing, submitting proposals, conducting presentations, answering clarifications and often resubmitting morethan once.

“We used to work day and night to meet clients’ deadlines. I remember days where we used to have a submission in the morning, a presentation in the afternoon, and a management meeting with a partner in the evening,” Calfat said. “The pressure was continuously high, the deadlines were tight and the requirements were very

demanding,” Calfat added. “Despite all the difficulties, we managed and succeeded to submit all the tenders on time,” he said.

THE NEGOTIATIONSCalfat recounted the negotiations with the clients as being tough and long. They sometimes took more than a full year from the moment of submission to the time of award. “During negotiations,we had to resubmit our proposals several times, make changes to our designs, sharpen our pencils regularly, study our risks and revise them with our partners many times in order to reach theoptimum price.”

THE SUCCESSAfter long and laborious negotiations, AlJaber Engineering managed to secure the largest projects tendered during that time. Within a period of one year the company won four multi-billion Qatari Riyal projects. In parallel the company secured three projects in Lusail. “We are glad and proud to be in Lusail, the client is satisfied with our good performance in delivering the projects,” said Calfat. “The success in winning projects did not stop there; three other projects were also awarded early this year,” he added.

Calfat attributes the success in securing these projects to the extraordinary efforts exerted by the estimation department, and to the fact that management decided to focus on these mega projects and took all the possible measures and strategic decisions to make the awards happen.

“We just believed in our capabilities,” Calfat confirmed. “We conducted more studies; we doubled, even tripled our efforts in optimising designs to reduce costs, we continuously reviewed our construction methodologies and looked for our partners’ international experience in performing and managing complex projects.”

The estimation department was working non-stop with full devotion. The company’s top management was involved continuously where strategic decisions had to be made on the spot. Negotiations and meetings with the clients at top management levels became somehow a routine.

THE CHALLENGESWith the enormous increase in growth has come its share of challenges. Management had to be far more dynamic than before. “We have to process a lot of management decisions in a faster time than what we were used to. There is absolutely no time or room for trial and error.”

“Recruitment is a major challenge,” said Calfat. “At a certain point, we will need to bring in around 200 to 300 people every month; we used to do the same in ayear previously.”

“The added challenge in Qatar is the fact that so many large projects are starting at the same time, resources will become a burden to secure. I am not speaking about manpower only, but securing equipment and building construction materials will very

soon become critical,” Calfat noted.

Having won these projects, Calfat believes that the toughest period is now ahead. “Kicking off a multi-billion dollar project is very different than starting smaller ones. Proper studies need to be made as errors will be measured in millions of Qatari Riyals and not in thousands.”

THE FUTURECalfat believes that the reason behind this success is the preparation that the management put in over the last years. “We talked internally about this phase a long time ago; we believed and were convinced that the time would soon come where we would be where we are now. There was continuous stress on the fact that we had to be ready for this phase before it actually happened. We upgraded our capabilities in manpower and assets, and expanded our fleet of equipment to become the largest fleet in Qatar.”

This forward planning has left AlJaber Engineering in the unique position of still being able to target new projects. Calfat said, “We will not stop selecting and working on winning new projects to diversify the business and elevate more the position of AlJaber Engineering in the market. This is our mission and we will not be diverted from it.”
