Almazov Oleg Arnoldovich Bashneft. Omsk young specialists can make a career in oil refining

The future actor of Russian cinema spent his childhood in a small room in a Leningrad communal apartment, where he lived with his mother, and in three schools in the city on the Neva. Until my mother received a two-room apartment on the outskirts of the city, Oleg Almazov thoroughly experienced the “charms” of communism.

Failed Engineer

Oleg Almazov has been familiar with the theater and concert stage since childhood. For more than ten years he attended classes at the Rainbow dance group. As part of the team, he visited many regions of the USSR and even abroad, but at the same time he dreamed of becoming an employee of state security agencies.

When the time came to make a meaningful choice, the Soviet Union and its intelligence services were experiencing destructive processes. One of his friends advised Oleg to enroll in a theater institute, but my mother insisted that her son go to study as an engineer at LEIS.

Almazov's fuse was only enough for two courses. He managed to get through his first year somehow, but from the second year he began to skip classes. Exams became an insurmountable barrier; neither a certificate of illness nor promises to learn and pass everything helped.

One day Oleg told his mother that he would no longer study to become an engineer and took away the documents.

But while studying at LEIS, the guy met people who pushed him into the world of great art. After leaving the Almazov Institute under the patronage of a friend got a job as an administrator at Leningrad television in the concert department. His duties included meeting and seeing off the artists and accommodating them in hotels.

After working in this position for a year, the young man took the documents to LGITMiK and entered without any problems.

In parallel with his studies, he got a job at Eldoradio, where he stayed for two decades. He hosted original programs and communicated with listeners live. For a long time, he was constantly in the top three in the popularity ratings of radio presenters in the city on the Neva.

The actor tried to find work in the theater, visited more than a dozen different theater institutions, but never found a job.

"Complete workaholic"

In the early 2000s, Oleg Almazov made his film debut and since then played about 100 roles. These were mostly episodes, but even the minor characters performed by the actor were remembered by the audience.

He organically got used to the image of a reporter, bandit, clergyman, psychotherapist.

Oleg Almazov’s track record includes participation in the films “Colt-and-Stepmother”, “Always Say “Always””, “State Protection”, “Traffic Cops”, “Legionnaire”, “Deadly Force”, “Labyrinths of the Mind”, “Foundry” , “Sea Devils”, “The Cry of an Owl”, “Maryina Roshcha”.

Recognition among movie fans and considerable The actor's popularity was brought to him by the role of Major Kotov in the TV series "The Far Side of the Moon" and in its continuation. In the first season of the series, Oleg Almazov almost died while performing a difficult stunt, but escaped with only a slight fright.

In 2016, the actor starred as businessman Dmitry Novikov in the film “Rescuer”. In 2017 he played in the films:

• “Identity not established”;
• "Raid";
• "Someone else's happiness"
• "Cycle":
• "Indian summer".

In addition to filming films and working on radio, Oleg Almazov voiced characters in several foreign films.

Monogamous man with a guitar

In the personal life of Oleg Almazov, everything worked out a long time ago. For more than twenty years he has been living in a civil marriage with choreographer Irina Panfilova. According to the actor, he has a family, kind and warm relationship with Irina. Almazov does not believe that a stamp in a passport is the basis for a happy marriage.

This couple has no children. The actor considers himself a monogamist and treats romances on the set only as a work process that has nothing to do with real life.

Representatives of the yellow press attribute the actor to a relationship with singer Tatyana Bulanova, but Almazov claims that there are only good friendly relations between him and Tatyana.

In his youth, the actor played the guitar well, but later abandoned this activity. Now he sometimes entertains his friends with music, but does not consider himself a professional musician. From time to time he agrees to host weddings, holidays, presentations, and corporate events, but considers such activities only additional income, and not a vocation.

In January of every year, the actor tries not to work and, together with his wife, goes to the sea to warm countries. On such trips he likes to sleep off and just lie on the beach. He is not interested in excursions, nor is he interested in extreme pastimes.

Films by Oleg Almazov

Omsk, March 29 - AiF-Omsk. Qualified specialists, engineers, technologists - this is the real shortage. However, there are examples when an industrial enterprise leads the list of the most promising and prestigious employers for both experienced specialists and young people. This is exactly what the Omsk oil refinery of the Gazprom Neft company traditionally is.

Our profile

There are stereotypes that getting a job at a factory is not easy. Oleg ALMAZOV, Deputy General Director of Gazprom Neft-ONPZ for Personnel and Organizational Issues, is confident that every young specialist has the opportunity for this, you just need to study well and be purposeful.

Firstly, a person must have a specialized specialty for an oil refinery, and this is a legal requirement. An enterprise whose employees work in specialties controlled by Rostechnadzor must have a personnel reserve. Today in Omsk, four educational institutions train personnel in professions related to oil refining: Omsk Industrial and Economic College, University Chemical and Mechanical College, Omsk State University and Technical University, says Oleg Almazov. - Already in the process of studying, when a young man has determined for himself what he wants to become, he comes to the enterprise for an internship. To get to us, you need to at least study well. There are always more candidates for trainees than our average annual personnel requirement; accordingly, we select the best. Based on the results of the internship, we receive feedback on the work of the young specialist. At the same time, we understand that the guys are just learning. But the attitude towards work is immediately visible. We include those who have performed well in our personnel reserve.

Everyone who comes to the Omsk plant comes for blue-collar jobs. And it doesn’t matter whether you graduated from a university or technical school, you will have to start your career at the enterprise with the basics of the oil refinery profession.

Upon arrival at the plant, young specialists begin a three-year corporate program. At this time, the guys receive additional competencies and master working professions to perfection,” continues Oleg Almazov. - Some of the guys are immediately hired to work at the plant, and the rest end up in the personnel reserve, from which selection is constantly made for emerging vacant positions. The decision on appointment is made taking into account the personal and professional qualities of the person and his potential. And one more important aspect: Gazprom Neft divisions are located not only in Omsk. So those who read books about travel in childhood, once at the plant, have the opportunity to see the world: the company also owns foreign assets. But in this case, knowledge of English is required.

From school to factory

Several years ago, the plant entered into long-term cooperation agreements with educational institutions of higher and secondary vocational education and gymnasium No. 84. As part of the partnership, the company helps educational institutions with equipment, which, in turn, work on the personnel potential of the enterprise.

In addition to the Omsk OPEC, the University of Chemical and Mechanical College and our two universities, we have a cooperation program with the St. Petersburg Mining University,” comments Oleg Almazov. - Every year the university holds Olympiads in a number of subjects in Omsk. We help organize and conduct them. Of course, we are primarily interested in our core science - chemistry. The guys who later enter St. Petersburg for our specialties have the opportunity to do internships at the plant. Our task is to give young people a chance to study at one of the most prestigious and oldest universities in the country. And whether they will return to Omsk, everyone will decide for themselves. We have a scholarship program for students of Omsk educational institutions. To become a scholarship holder, a young person must study well and participate in a scientific and technical conference, which is held on the basis of Omsk State Technical University for students of schools, secondary and higher educational institutions. And if you are a scholarship holder, study and do an internship at the plant. Well, then start your career with us!

The real deal

Until 2020, Gazprom Neft will have to implement ambitious plans for the modernization and development of the plant.

In fact, this will be the construction of another plant within the existing one, which will require attracting a large number of qualified specialists to the plant, explains Oleg Arnoldovich. - So now we really need experienced specialists in the field of capital construction, design, and project management. Therefore, we are waiting for purposeful, proactive, talented young people who have a real chance to work at one of the most modern refineries in the country.

Student Awards

The Omsk Refinery awarded corporate scholarships to the best students of specialized specialties of regional universities and colleges: a monthly scholarship for college students - named after the first director of the Omsk Refinery A. M. Maluntsev, for university students - named after I. D. Litskevich.

Scholarships were awarded to 30 students from Omsk State University, Omsk State Technical University, Omsk Industrial and Economic College, and University Chemical and Mechanical College, who are studying in specialties related to oil refining. All students developed projects that were presented at the Gazpromneft-ONPZ scientific and technical conference, and at the end of the session they had an average score of at least 4.

“The company is interested in young qualified specialists. By encouraging high academic results, mastery of skills and necessary competencies, we hope to soon see you on industrial practice at the plant,” said Alexander Glazov, Deputy General Director for Production at Gazpromneft-ONPZ. “After successfully completing your internship and completing your studies, you will have the opportunity to work at one of the most modern and high-tech factories in Russia.”

Reference

The Gazprom Neft-ONPZ scholarship is one of the forms of long-term cooperation between the enterprise and specialized educational institutions that train personnel for the oil refining industry. The scholarship program has been implemented by the Omsk Oil Refinery since 1995.

The Gazprom Neft-ONPZ scholarship program is part of the extensive “School - University/University - Omsk Refinery” program, the goals of which are:

• assistance to educational institutions in Omsk and gifted students;
• training future oil refiners.

A system of continuous personnel training for the local process plant has been implemented. What's next? How now to move on to training the personnel of the technological complex?

Since July 2012, we have begun implementing a staff rotation program between individual installations. As part of the personnel policy, rotation at our enterprise is not some spontaneous, one-time process - it is a well-thought-out personnel training system with clearly defined rules, aimed at expanding the competencies of employees, stimulating their professional growth and, ultimately, increasing labor productivity.

As I noted in the first part of the tour, the transition from managing individual technological installations to managing technological complexes at JSC Gazpromneft-ONPZ is a new stage in increasing production efficiency. The transition to managing complexes and reducing the number of control levels makes it possible to make the best unified, system solutions for the same type of interconnected technological processes or implement a system solution for a group of installations in the interests of the final result of the production cycle.

This step requires a clear vision of the state of the enterprise for several years ahead - what the plant will be like, what its management system will be, what employees (level of competency development) are needed for this. The OMPZ management team answered all these questions. In order to ensure the implementation of our plans regarding the development of competencies among blue-collar personnel, we developed and implemented a rotation program, which became part of the enterprise’s long-term personnel policy.

Specifics of the rotation program The point is that this is a long and multi-stage process. During its implementation, a number of mandatory steps (stages) are performed:

1. The target group for participation in the rotation program is determined - senior operators (foremen) on shift and one person each, who is their personnel reserve. Without their training, it will be impossible to move on to managing the complex. The total number of Rotation participants in this group depends on the shift schedule and ranges from 8 to 10 people. Considering the fact that at the combined installations there are candidates with the necessary experience, but on a local installation scale, from 12 to 17 people, only those who wish to participate in the program. All other employees are involved in the rotation program as far as possible and on their initiative.
2. Professional career ladders are being developed for the future technological complex. One for the transition period - the time of rotation - and the final one from the moment the installations are combined (an example of such a simplified rotation program is in Fig. 9). The career ladder for the transition period ensures the parallel existence of two systems - for a local installation and for a complex, which allows motivating (assigning higher qualifications - rank and category) those who participate in the rotation.
3. Information about the candidate is collected (education, experience and work results) and based on this data and career ladders, an individual development program for each candidate is drawn up, indicating specific activities and deadlines for their implementation.

The total training time for an employee (including annual leave) under the rotation program averages 1.5-2 years.

To maintain the skills and competencies of personnel working at the technological complex, periodic short-term rotation is required to all production facilities that are part of this complex. The frequency of this type of rotation is shown in the table in Figure 10.

Participation also provides many additional opportunities.

In 2014, a basic department of the Gazprom Neft company was created at the Omsk State Technical University. Starting from the new academic year, 40 students will begin studying at the department in the applied bachelor's program. The goal of the project is to train qualified practitioners for oil company enterprises.

Oleg Almazov, Deputy General Director of Gazprom Neft Omsk Oil Refinery OJSC, spoke about how to start a career as an oil refiner and what are the prospects for future graduates of the new department.

- Oleg Arnoldovich, let's start with the main thing: what advantages does the new educational project have for all its participants?

We are confident that not only the technical university and the company, but also the Omsk region as a whole will benefit from our joint project. Today's applicants have a unique opportunity to receive a high-quality education, in demand in the oil refining industry and supported by practice. Gazprom Neft is expanding the scope of its activities, and the company needs promising specialists who have deep theoretical training and practical skills. Today, unfortunately, graduates' practical skills are at a minimum level. After employment, you have to learn a lot from the basics. The basic department at Omsk State Technical University is designed to radically change this situation.

The main advantages of an applied bachelor's degree are in-depth theoretical training and emphasis on applying the acquired knowledge in practice. After the third and fourth years, students will undergo an internship at the plant for 3.5 months. They will write coursework and theses on topics relevant to the Omsk Refinery.

The graduate will receive two working professions in the petrochemical industry with the necessary permits according to the rules of Rostechnadzor. And also - the specialty of technical English translator, since the volume of language learning at the department will double.

After graduation, graduates of the basic department are guaranteed employment at one of the company’s enterprises, which are located not only in Omsk, but also in Moscow, Yaroslavl and Serbia. After a bachelor's degree, the best students will have the opportunity to continue their studies at a master's degree in specialties that meet the needs of the company. I am sure that Omsk, thanks to the basic department at Omsk State Technical University, will become an industry center for high-quality vocational training in specialized oil refining subjects.

- How will you select applicants?

For the 2014/15 academic year, enrollment is planned for 40 targeted places in the specialties: “Machines and apparatus for chemical production” and “Chemical technology of natural energy carriers and carbon materials.” The selection will be based on three criteria. The first and main one is the Unified State Examination results in mathematics and physics. The second is the conclusion of the medical commission of the Omsk Refinery clinic. And the third, probably the most important, is the desire of the future student to work in the Gazprom Neft company. The interview will be conducted by specialists from the plant’s HR service, who are part of the selection committee. Gazprom Neft will enter into an agreement with enrolled students, according to which the company will provide modern, high-quality education, and then a guaranteed job.

- Many parents may have doubts about the objectivity of the selection, because it’s no secret that in our country “blat” and “telephone rights” are ineradicable?

Since 2011, it is impossible to get a job at the plant without a specialized education, regardless of how many generations from the family of the job applicant work here. We will select the best for the department: purposeful, efficient and talented, regardless of what their parents do.

The Omsk Refinery is currently being actively modernized, modern technologies are being introduced, which can only be operated by professionals with deep theoretical knowledge and practical skills. Therefore, high-quality training of highly qualified specialists is an important resource for the development of not only the company, but also the entire region.
