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.
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
Working in Ras Al Khair
Ras Al Khair, 80 km north of Jubail, is Ma'aden's industrial city: phosphate and ammonia plants, the aluminium smelter and rolling mill, the desalination and power complex and the shipyard. It is heavy industry with long maintenance campaigns and a steady need for mechanical, electrical and rigging trades. AKFAL crews commute from the Jubail camp.

- Ma'aden Phosphate and Ma'aden Wa'ad Al Shamal (ammonia, phosphoric acid, DAP)
- Ma'aden Aluminium smelter, rolling mill and casthouse

Typical work
- Planned maintenance on kilns, mills and conveyors
- Electrical and instrumentation maintenance in the smelter
- Structural and piping repairs; heavy rigging
- Crane and telehandler hire for maintenance campaigns
- When demand peaks
- Ma'aden's maintenance campaigns run through the year with larger turnarounds in the cooler months; demand is steadier than in Jubail's shutdown peaks.
- Accommodation and transport
- Crews are housed in the AKFAL camp near Jubail and travel by company bus, about an hour each way; site camps are used on longer campaigns.
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.
Where would I live in Ras Al Khair?
Crews are housed in the AKFAL camp near Jubail and travel by company bus, about an hour each way; site camps are used on longer campaigns.
How is salary decided?
Fixed from the trade test, certificates and experience, and confirmed in writing before you accept. Not published.
