About the job

AKFAL electricians install and maintain LV and MV distribution, motors, lighting and cable systems at plants, camps and project sites. Much of the plant work is in classified (Ex) areas, so glanding, termination and inspection to the hazardous-area standard is part of the daily job, always under a permit and with the circuit isolated and proved dead.

This job sits in the Industrial Support — Skilled Trades division.

What you will do

Install and terminate LV/MV cables, glands and panels to drawings
Maintain motors, starters, MCCs and lighting circuits
Isolate, lock out and test dead before any work
Inspect and maintain Ex-rated equipment in hazardous areas
Fault-find with meters and record readings on the job card

What we look for

3 years or more as an industrial electrician (plant, oil and gas or construction power)
Reads single-line diagrams and cable schedules
Knows LOTO and permit-to-work practice
Hazardous-area (Ex) awareness is a plus; CompEx is a strong plus
Basic English or Arabic for permits

Certificates that help

Electrical trade certificate or diploma
CompEx or equivalent hazardous-area certificate, if held
LOTO and permit-to-work training
Client site induction, if held

Questions applicants ask

Do I need experience?

Yes — three years or more in industrial or construction electrical work. Domestic wiring experience alone does not pass the test.

Which certificates do I need?

A trade certificate is expected. Hazardous-area certification such as CompEx is not mandatory but is the single most valuable extra for plant work.

Iqama, transfer and visa

Electricians already in Saudi Arabia with a transferable Iqama are placed first. Overseas hiring runs through licensed agencies with no cost to you.

Hours and shifts

Camp and plant maintenance run regular day shifts; project and shutdown work runs extended shifts with paid overtime.

How is salary decided?

Fixed from the trade test, certificates and experience, and confirmed in writing before you accept. Not published.
