Purchasing a significant portion of the necessary equipment for the complex and continuing installation and construction operations were other important actions taken by Mahdavi during this period. In this regard, he emphasized that hiring for the operational phase should be conducted through recruitment exams.
Hiring and Human Resources Provision
In 2018, Mahdavi announced that for the operational phase of Miandoab Petrochemical, between 200 to 250 people would be recruited through a recruitment exam. This exam was met with great enthusiasm, with over 11,000 participants. The recruitment process included a written exam, interviews, and selection stages. At this stage, there was also an emphasis on utilizing local and regional workforce.
After years of operational activities, Miandoab Petrochemical was officially inaugurated on June 25, 2020, with a production capacity of approximately 140,000 tons of high-density polyethylene per year. The inauguration was attended by provincial officials and included a video link with the then-President.
Performance After Inauguration
With the inauguration of Miandoab Petrochemical, the management focus shifted from construction and equipment installation to operation, production stability, and management of operational units. This complex is one of the polymer units connected to the West Ethylene Pipeline, which supplies its feedstock from this pipeline. The launch of the Miandoab unit has enabled the conversion of ethylene into higher value-added polymer products in the region, making this complex one of the links in the petrochemical industry chain in the northwest of the country.
Ahmad Mahdavi's name is frequently mentioned in sources related to the construction and commissioning period of Miandoab Petrochemical as the CEO of this company. Additionally, some sources still introduce him as the CEO of Miandoab Petrochemical until 2023. However, there is no explicit and reliable information regarding his continued presence in the CEO position in newer public sources.
