- Independent contractors and Enel's personnel participate in this process.
Enel Distribución conducts ongoing training sessions for its staff and contractors at its Center of Operational Excellence (COE) as part of the Operational People Qualification Project. Sessions focus on evaluating the theoretical and practical skills of field technicians.
In May, Contractor Antillanca became the first company to achieve 100% technical competency clearance at the Operations Evaluation Center (OEC) this May, which conducts the evaluation process. Following this, the Cobra company also received this recognition. These accomplishments demonstrate the strong commitment and dedication of these companies in striving for operational excellence for their employees.
"This milestone represents a major success for Antillanca, M&G, and Cobra. It also serves as an inspiring example for all our collaborators who are involved in this important process. The OEC is a unique training space in the country. As a company, we utilize its state-of-the-art, full-size infrastructure to enhance the productivity of the energy industry in a safer, more modern, and efficient manner," said Yanett Henríquez, head of Enel Distribución's Center of Operational Excellence.
The qualification project kicked off in March 2024, with more than 200 workers attending. The goal is to ensure that all technical operating personnel in the field are certified to help maintain Zero Accidents.
Thanks to these qualifications, it is possible to identify areas for improvement in competency within evaluated personnel. This allows for a more targeted training process and ensures the technical teams’ work quality, directly contributing to achieving the operational excellence Enel Distribución has set out to attain.
Working in close collaboration with all parties involved guarantees the project's success. This highlights the contractors' strong commitment and line of business and the HSEQ team's compliance processes and goals to achieve the established objective: 100% of the project's ratings this year, 2024.
