Saudi Arabia Workforce Management Information
What Are the Unique Workforce Challenges of Fracking Projects in Saudi Arabia?
Fracking operations in Saudi Arabia are different from conventional oil and gas activity due to their location, intensity and technical complexity. Many projects are in remote desert regions, requiring resilient teams that can operate under harsh conditions. Operators must also comply with strict regulations and sector-specific Saudization quotas. Managing Iqama, GOSI and labour rules for both local and international hires makes workforce planning more difficult. Our deep understanding of these workforce demands, combined with our in-country presence, ensures you’re supported from day one, with the right mix of talent, mobility and legal protection.
How Does Leap29 Support Frac Operations from Start to Finish?
We act as your dedicated workforce partner through every phase of your frac project. We manage frac crew mobilisation, visa and Iqama processing, contractor onboarding and compliance with GOSI and Saudization policy. Our services also include RPO for hard-to-fill technical roles, payroll support and workforce structuring to optimise project delivery. Whether you’re growing fast or dealing with strict rules, our hands-on, flexible support helps your team work safely and stay compliant in Saudi Arabia’s changing energy sector.
Why Is Integrating Local and Global Talent So Important for These Projects?
Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 calls for the integration of local talent into all sectors, including unconventional energy. But fracking requires expertise that often lies outside the region. We help close this gap by finding both Saudi and international talent, supporting knowledge sharing, and building plans to keep teams in place for the long term. We help you meet Saudization targets without compromising on performance, building high-performing, legally compliant teams that drive your success and Saudi Arabia’s energy ambitions forward.
