• The DataFlow Group welcomes the new mandatory Oman Society of Engineers membership for engineers in Oman, which includes primary source verification to maintain engineering excellence and promote the safety of both its members and the general public.

On Nov 28 2022 the Ministry of Labour, Oman announced all engineers living and working in the Sultanate of Oman are required to have an OSE membership in order to practise their profession. A mandatory part of this membership for engineers is primary source verification (PSV). PSV is the most evolved methodology for determining the accuracy of professional documentation - in this case, academic qualifications and experience certificates, specifically for those who hold either academic or experience certificates from countries outside of Oman.

By mandating this requirement, which was initiated by the Ministry of Labour, the OSE is helping to protect entire communities within Oman including its members, their colleagues and the general public. This level of safeguarding is achieved by ensuring qualified engineering professionals can secure employment within Oman, helping to improve engineering excellence within the nation.

Sunil Kumar, CEO of the DataFlow Group, said, “As existing partners of the Oman Society of Engineers since 2016, we are delighted OSE membership has become mandatory within the region. As experts in PSV, we applaud this move within the engineering industry in Oman to promote and maintain safety within a typically high-risk sector. By doing so, not only is OSE helping to ensure only highly qualified engineers work within the region, but they are also protecting the safety of the public. We look forward to continuing to work alongside OSE as one of their official PSV partners to help them to continue sustained excellence within the country.’’

Upholding this level of professional quality sets a high standard for engineering expertise within Oman which is aligned with the country’s ongoing growth plans.
