Why work for TAQA?

TAQA is committed to helping its employees and contractors work more flexibly to suit both their own and the Company's needs.

Compressed Working Week (CWW)

TAQA offers onshore employees and contractors a Compressed Working Week (CWW) to help achieve a healthy work-life balance.

The CWW is an arrangement where employees and contractors work a standard two-week work period (10 days) over a compressed period of 9 working days i.e., employees contracted to work 37.5 hours per week will work 75 hours over 9 days (instead of 10 days).

The 10th day in the second week of the CWW period is known as 'Flex Friday', a non-working day.
