Minister of Science, Energy and Technology

Fayval Williams says the human resource manager vacancy at the State-owned oil

refinery, Petrojam, will soon be filled.

“Over the last eight months at Petrojam,

there has been a transparent recruitment process for a new human resource

manager. We expect that [the manager] will be starting in short order,” she

said.

Williams was addressing a press conference

on Tuesday (October 8) at Eden Gardens Wellness Resort & Spa in St. Andrew.

She further explained that two directors

are being recruited to serve as part of Petrojam’s technical committee.

“The technical committee has not been fully

formed yet. We’re still canvassing different organisations for persons with the

requisite skills in the refining industry and with no ties or connection to

Petrojam,” she said.

Petrojam’s board now has eight directors,

including a representative from the Energy Ministry, Petroleum Corporation of

Jamaica (PCJ) as well as the Ministry of Finance and the Public Service.
