We supply a wide range of technical professionals across the energy sector, including:

Workforce Support Across the Energy Lifecycle
Energy developments in Saudi Arabia move through multiple stages, each requiring different workforce volumes and technical expertise.
We support manpower delivery across all phases of the energy lifecycle, including:
- Front-end engineering and design (FEED) support
- Construction and installation phases
- Mechanical completion and commissioning
- Start-up, operations and maintenance
Our workforce delivery model allows project teams to scale manpower levels up or down as project demands change, helping maintain productivity without creating unnecessary employment risk.
Saudi-Licensed Manpower Delivery
All manpower services are delivered through Leap29 Arabia Limited, our locally licensed Saudi entity. This ensures workforce deployment is fully aligned with Saudi labour regulations and Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development (MHRSD) requirements.
We manage the local employment responsibilities associated with manpower deployment, including:
- Iqama sponsorship and employment documentation

This structured approach ensures technical personnel are employed correctly and can integrate into project teams without creating administrative complexity for contractors.

Mobilisation timelines vary depending on visa routes and workforce availability. Typical timeframes include:
- Temporary Work Visa: 30 to 45 days

Having a locally licensed entity allows us to manage these processes efficiently while ensuring full compliance with Saudi employment regulations.
