Saudi Arabia Expansion Advice
Why Use Contract Recruitment for Mechanical Engineering in Saudi Arabia?
Saudi Arabia is undergoing one of the most ambitious national development programs in the world, the Vision 2030 Initiative. This transformation is a drive to diversify the economy, build world-class infrastructure and enhance domestic industrial capabilities. This makes mechanical engineering a critical discipline in sectors such as:
- Oil & Gas
- Power & Renewable Energy
- Water & Wastewater
- Manufacturing & Industrial Automation
- Construction & Infrastructure
Contract recruitment is the most agile solution for these fast-moving sectors, helping businesses meet urgent project demands while avoiding long-term overheads.
But recruitment in Saudi Arabia comes with challenges:
- Strict Saudization policies requiring quota compliance by job category
- Complicated visa and iqama processes
- GOSI (social insurance) and tax contributions
- Cultural and legal employment considerations
- Sector-specific regulatory nuances
Leap29 ensures all contractors are fully compliant from day one, providing peace of mind and operational efficiency for your business.
How We Help You Meet Saudization Requirements
Saudization, also known as the Nitaqat program, is a central component of Saudi Arabia’s labour policy. It mandates that private companies employ a specific percentage of Saudi nationals, with requirements varying by sector, company size, and job role.
In mechanical engineering, certain functions are classified under mandatory localisation, meaning they must be filled by Saudi nationals unless a valid exception is approved.
Leap29 can help your business meet these Saudization requirements by:
- Assisting with your understanding of Saudization quotas specific to your industry and project location
- Integrating Saudi nationals into your workforce where necessary
- Structuring contracts to comply with regulations while maintaining project timelines
- Managing audits, reporting and documentation to demonstrate full legal compliance
By aligning with Saudization rules, your business avoids penalties, protects its reputation and strengthens local partnerships in the Kingdom.
What’s Included in Our Mechanical Engineering Contract Recruitment?
Our Saudi-focused contract recruitment services cover everything mechanical engineering contractors need to start and stay working compliantly:
- Fast access to qualified mechanical engineers via local & global networks
- Legal contracts that comply with Saudi labour law and industry norms
- Visa & work permit processing for compliant mobilisation
- Payroll, tax, and GOSI handled end-to-end
- 24/7 contractor support, including medevac and emergency response
- Mobilisation and demobilisation logistics
You can hire a single mechanical engineer or a full installation team with a seamless, compliant process and expert contractor care.
