Thousands of ambitious job seekers from around the world have successfully restarted their careers and improved their living standards by taking up electrical jobs in Saudi Arabia. If you’re an experienced electrician or electrical helper looking for a life-changing overseas opportunity, this may be the breakthrough you’ve been waiting for.
From arranging quick and easy visas to providing housing, medical care, and excellent compensation, top companies in Saudi Arabia are investing heavily to recruit reliable foreign workers like never before. In this blog post, I’ll break down everything you need to know to take advantage of this opportunity, from eligibility requirements to the application process.
High demand for experienced electricians and helpers
One of Saudi Arabia’s most well-known firms is urgently seeking qualified returnees for various electrical roles on their construction sites nationwide. With several major infrastructure and development projects currently underway, demand has never been higher for skilled tradespeople to join their team.
Specifically, they require experienced:
– **Electricians** to oversee installation, wiring, troubleshooting and repairs. Minimum 2 years experience in a Gulf country required.
– **Electrical helpers** to assist electricians on job sites. No prior experience necessary but knowledge of basic circuits and safety protocols is preferred.
Both roles offer stable long-term employment through initially 2-year renewable contracts. Successful candidates can expect to stay with growing projects and potentially assume new senior positions over time.
 Competitive salaries and benefits
Here’s a quick overview of the key compensation and perks on offer:
– **Electricians:** SAR 2000/month basic salary plus overtime. 8-hour workdays with occasional additional hours.
– **Electrical helpers:** SAR 1500/month basic salary plus overtime. Same working hours as electricians.
– **Full medical coverage** through company-provided insurance. Includes checkups, treatment and medications.
– **Housing allowance:** Fully furnished accommodation at labor camps near job sites. Utilities, WiFi and laundry facilities included.
– **Transportation:** Free bus service to and from work each day.
– **Food stipend:** SAR 500/month to cover your own meals outside of work.
With no tax and low living expenses, take-home pay far surpasses what most could earn back home – a life-changing financial opportunity for overseas workers.
Streamlined hiring process
To simplify hiring foreign talent, the company has removed traditional interviews from the application process. Here are the key steps:
1. Submit resume/CV highlighting your qualifications, skills and previous work experience via email or WhatsApp.
2. Documents will be reviewed and top candidates selected based on relevance to the job requirements.
3. Selected applicants will be contacted to arrange quick pre-employment medical examinations at a designated clinic.
4. Once cleared, new hires will be issued an Iqama (work visa/permit) and entry visa to Saudi Arabia within 2 weeks.
5. Orientation and onboarding at the job site – you’ll be ready to start your new duties within a month of applying.
By removing common barriers like interviews, paperwork can be processed efficiently from anywhere. This makes these Saudi opportunities more accessible than ever for skilled workers abroad seeking a fresh career start.
Eligibility requirements
A few basic criteria must be met to qualify:
– Minimum age 21 years, maximum 40 years. Outside this range your application may not be considered.
– Must be legally allowed to travel to Saudi Arabia and hold a valid passport for at least 6 months beyond your contract end date.
– No criminal convictions or serious health issues that could impact your ability to carry out physical work duties.
– Proficient in English for safety training and communication on job sites. Arabic skills not necessary but may be beneficial.
– Willingness to adhere to all Saudi labor laws and respect local customs/traditions during your stay.
If you’re a fit, able-bodied and reliable individual between 21-40 years of age, your background and qualifications may be a great match for these electrical career opportunities abroad.
