The Committee for the Acceptance and Classification of Engineers and Engineering Consultancy Offices, affiliated with the Ministry of Municipality, is taking significant steps towards developing and improving its processes through collaboration with the Ministry’s Information Systems Department.
This collaboration aims to launch a new electronic system to streamline transactions in engineering consultancy offices, similar to the current system for engineers. This project is part of the Ministry’s efforts to enhance the services’ efficiency and transparency and facilitate procedures for beneficiaries.
The Committee, in cooperation with Qatar Railways Company (Qatar Rail), seeks to qualify registered engineers to work on “Qatar Rail” projects. This cooperation reflects the joint efforts to develop the national infrastructure, marking a crucial step towards achieving sustainable development and meeting the local market’s needs for specialized engineering skills.
Recently, the Committee has transitioned some services to the new electronic system, including the launch of a modern electronic testing system. This system allows tests to be conducted based on the specific sub-specializations of each engineering field. It was implemented in collaboration with official entities at Qatar University, ensuring the tests’ accuracy, effectiveness, and alignment with high academic and professional standards.
The Committee has also introduced a special register for Qatari engineers to facilitate and enhance the Qatar Society of Engineers registration process. This register is a significant step towards encouraging local engineers to engage in the professional community and contribute to developing the engineering sector in Qatar.
Among the Committee’s notable achievements is the revision of procedures related to local and international engineering consultancy offices. This revision included improving and simplifying administrative procedures and facilitating renewing registration with the Committee’s records.
According to the new system, engineering consultancy offices can submit renewal applications 90 days before the end of the registration period instead of 30 days, providing ample time to submit the required documents and complete the procedures quickly.
In addition to these efforts, the Committee periodically monitors and evaluates the performance of the new electronic system to ensure its objectives are met and to provide the best services to beneficiaries. This aligns with the Ministry’s strategy to promote innovation and continuous development across its various sectors, contributing to achieving Qatar National Vision 2030.
The Committee for the Acceptance and Classification of Engineers and Engineering Consultancy Offices is committed to delivering high-quality services and contributing to the development of the engineering sector in Qatar. Through these ongoing efforts and improvements, the Committee aims to achieve a high level of satisfaction among engineers and consultancy offices, enhance their role in sustainable development, and build a bright future for Qatar.
In this context, the Committee plans to organize regular workshops and training courses for registered engineers to update their knowledge and skills with the latest engineering technologies and practices.
Special efforts will also be directed towards encouraging innovation and scientific research in engineering, enhancing the standing of Qatari engineers locally and globally.
The Committee aspires to establish strategic partnerships with leading academic and research institutions worldwide, enabling the transfer and exchange of advanced knowledge and technologies. This approach is part of the Committee’s vision to enhance the competitiveness of Qatari engineers on the international stage and ensure their effective contribution to achieving Qatar’s sustainable development goals.
The Committee is committed to fully supporting engineers and consultancy offices in facing the increasing challenges and demands of the market. Through these initiatives, the Committee aims to achieve a qualitative leap in the quality of engineering services and enhance Qatar’s reputation as a leading country in engineering and construction.
In conclusion, the Committee for the Acceptance and Classification of Engineers and Engineering Consultancy Offices emphasizes the importance of cooperation and joint efforts among all concerned entities to achieve common goals and ensure the best services for the Qatari community and economy. With these ongoing efforts and improvements, the Committee remains committed to realizing its ambitious vision for the future of the engineering sector in Qatar.
