Interview with Eng. Saad Al Shahrani, the director of
Construction and Drilling Training Center in Dammam
Can you tell us about your career and academic life?
I joined the training program in Aramco in March 1974,
and I finished all company training and educational
courses by 1980 and during my studies I worked in the
Gas department in Abqaiq as an operator assistant and
later as an operator.
In 1980, I was sent to study chemical engineering and
I graduated in 1986. I came back home to work in
engineering department in Abqaiq labs, where I shifted
between oil, gas and other facilities. After that I worked
in administrative positions from operation supervisor
to operation administration manager , and through all
other positions.
I retired from Saudi Aramco on March 2013.
What sports do you prefer? Is football among these
sports?
I practice walking and I love watching European football
matches.
It is well known that Eng. Saad Al-Shahrani worked
for Saudi Aramco for many years, can you describe
your experience with Aramco and tell us what you
gained?
Just imagine a young man join Aramco with no
certificates but sixth grade, and retired with Engineering
Bachelor and being the director of important company
facilities. Aramco has given me everything and I gave it
very little. I have gained experience academically and
administratively, rewards and friends.
Aramco enabled me after God to support and accomplish
my hopes and the hopes of my family.
Eng. Saad is one of the prominent administrators
of the SPSP, When have you started work at Saudi
Petroleum Services Polytechnic and how was the
beginning?
It was a coincidence when I met the executive director
Eng. Abdullah Al-Yami after my retirement and we
discussed so many topics regarding retirement and
work and I informed him that I have been requested to
work with some companies and I have rejected all offers
and he expressed his desire of me joining SPSP as a
director of Drilling and Construction Training Center,
when at that time, the center was under construction.
I accepted the offer for my willingness to develop the
youth and share my experience to develop the
institute. And I had the honor to witness the opening
of the Center in the presence of His Royal Highness
Prince Saud Bin Nayef, the prince of the Eastern
Province after one year of my employment.
How do you see the progression of Saudi
Petroleum Services Polytechnic?
The institute has made big steps in a very short
period whether in the number of centers where
we have four centers in remarkable period or in the
number of students from 300 in 2008 to 2300 in 2015.
What distinguishes Saudi Petroleum
Services Polytechnic? And how did it
make such reputation despite its short
life?
First distinction is education quality. Second is
working with companies to make sure the students
comply with the work requirements. Third distinction
is the training ending with employment where students
join one of the companies as a trainee at the beginning
of his studies and there are other distinctions.
What difficulties and challenges do you face in the
construction and drilling center? And how do you
overcome them?
The difficulties are how to use the capabilities of the
institute to train contractor’s employees, whereas we are
still working with Aramco to complete the requirements
to provide the necessary passes to the contractors.
Eng. Saad, we have three centers in the Eastern
Province, is the work cooperative or individual at
each?
They are three branches for one institute and work in
them is cooperative with common objectives.
Can we know your future plans for developing
C&DTC?
Our future plans are to expand in giving short courses in
drilling, construction, heavy equipment, and safety.
Starting where others stopped is a main factor of
success. Is it always true? And how?
That is what is we work for, to start from where others
ended. We always look for what pushes us to the top
and we work with the best international assessment
organizations to guarantee distinction.
To reach the top is easier than maintaining it? How is
the institute able to maintain this position?
That is done by periodical review and working with the
best international assessment organizations, as I have
previously mentioned, as well as the opinions of the
beneficiaries and utilizing the best skillful training and
administrative qualifications.
Public Relations Department work hard to show the
value and the position of the institute to the outside
society. What is your future media plans?
To develop institute electronic portal and convey the real
image of the institute to the reader and be present in all
global events related.
What is the question you hoped we ask, but we
didn’t?
You have asked all questions.
Last words
We are very close to summer vacation, we hope all
institute students and employees be safe and we ask all
to follow the safe driving.
Thank you.

Administrative
Positions’ Effect on
the Organization
Generally the organization aims at sustainability,
development, horizontal and vertical growth, and in
order to fulfill its objectives it sets clear plans and fixed
objectives and provides all facilities that contribute to
achiving its terminal objectives. One of the important
factors that helps achieve objectives and develop work
performance is the organization chart that determines
duties and responsibilities for each employee.
Administrative positions are considered the important
positions that help organizations succeed through
direction, leadership and connecting other production
sections among each other and stating to them
their roles, privileges and incentives and set general
and special solutions for organization’s sections.
Organization adminstartion provides for the remaining
sections its requirements, these sections contain
the brains planning for the organization and convey
instructions and orders to the rest of the employees
in all sections and branches outside the organization’s
headquarter if any.
The organization cannot perform its duties without
specialized administrators in all administration areas
such as planning, finance and human resources,
all these departments with its employees and
administrators work to make the suitable environment
available to fulfill the organizations’ objectives and
secure employees’ rights and work to expand the
activity and provide all what helps to do so. Therefore,
no organization can perform its duties except with
proper staff and positions that suit the needs to
manage the organization.
It must be noted that administrators in any organization
are less in numbers than the others, because the
nature of their job at the office includes supervision and
control, however, they are the more productive in the
so called intangible or supportive production, as they
interfere in all work details and play the bridging and
leading role to reach the objectives of the organization.

comes in the form of skin where sweat
leaves the body during and after exercise.
That additional kidney eases the effort
exerted by kidneys, delays them from
aging, protects them from precipitation
and maintains them functioning to help
you when you get older.
Exercising regularly enhances body’s
production and consumption of
energy and reduces the production of
destructive material that damage DNA
cells, and that in turn delays the aging
process of most body organs.
Excessive doses of sweets raise
insulin levels because they are
the type of carbohydrates that
the body absorbs fast. It is known
that insulin makes you feel hungry
and helps store fat in the body
which makes you gain weight that
could lead to obesity, high blood
pressure, diabetes, arthritis and
heart and arteries diseases. On
the other hand, sugar gained from
beans, pasta and fruits, is absorbed
slowly by the blood, keeping insulin
levels constant. Most of that sugar
and calories are used and only a
small amount of them is stored
due to the fact that fiber slows the
process of sugar and carbohydrates
absorption.

Employees in an

acquiring new skills

engaging employees in

by these employees
and that helps these Majhood Al-Saad*

an investment in the human capital of the

Effective training and development must

of current international development
of research and applying the results of
such research. This can only be attained
through continuous planned training and
