Across the Gulf, mining is being built deliberately as a national capability, not just an export. Saudization and Omanization targets, local-supply requirements and In-Country Value frameworks all point the same way: the workforce and the supply chain should be national, and deepening.
Corica treats that as the operating model, not a compliance line. Local workforce development is written into the workforce plan for each contract from mobilisation — trade training, ticket progression and structured operator-to-supervisor-to-superintendent pathways, backed by real training budgets. The company builds the local team that runs the mine, rather than importing one that leaves when the contract ends.
The same applies to procurement: local suppliers developed and used wherever they can meet the standard, so the economic value of a contract stays in the country hosting it.
Corica commits to reporting nationalisation and local-content progress openly to clients and to the authorities, in the form each contract and jurisdiction requires. Genuine capability, not headline percentages, is the measure.
