Oil, Gas and Energy Workforce Solutions in Saudi Arabia

Technical Manpower for Oil, Gas and Energy Projects

Energy projects operate within strict safety frameworks, tight construction schedules and demanding performance requirements. Technical personnel must meet both project specifications and site compliance standards.

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

  • Engineers across core oil, gas and energy disciplines
  • Construction managers and site supervisors
  • Commissioning and start-up specialists
  • HSE professionals
  • Operations and maintenance personnel
  • Project controls, planning and scheduling specialists

Our teams support both short-term project mobilisation and longer-term operational staffing, depending on project requirements.

With access to talent across more than 180 countries, we are able to support projects requiring specialist expertise or difficult-to-source technical skills.

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
  • GOSI registration and compliance
  • WPS-compliant payroll administration
  • Medical insurance provision
  • Workforce secondment through Ajeer, where applicable

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

Mobilisation Timelines for Technical Personnel

Mobilisation timelines vary depending on visa routes and workforce availability. Typical timeframes include:

  • Temporary Work Visa: 30 to 45 days
  • Iqama mobilisation: approximately 6 to 10 weeks
  • Local employee transfer: typically 1 to 4 weeks

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

Our approach combines:

  • Global talent access across more than 180 countries
