RECRUITING STAFF FOR MASS TRANSIT RAILWAY CORPORATION
The Mass Transit Railway Provisional Authority today announced
the commencement of a recruitment exercise to fill the top managerial
posts of the future Mass Transit Railway Corporation.
A spokesman for the Authority said that the top six posts are those
of Chairman, Managing Director, Director of Engineering, Director of
Finance, Director of Administration and Director of Operations. He added
that "because of the magnitude of the Mass Transit Railway project and
the importance of obtaining the highest quality management for the future
Corporation, it is essential to advertise these posts as widely as
possible internationally in order to attract applicants of the right
calibre and who possess the required experience."
"For this reason," he continued, "P.A. Management Consultants
Ltd. have been appointed to assist with the recruitment exercise."
Through the firm's world-wide connections, advertisements will
be placed in the United Kingdom and other European countries, Canada
and Australia. All the posts will also be advertised in Hong Kong.
It is expected that it will take about five to six months
before those persons eventually appointed to these posts will be ready
to assume duty.
