Working in Jafurah
The Jafurah gas field, south-east of Al-Ahsa, is being developed in phases by Saudi Aramco with international EPC contractors. It is a construction environment rather than a running plant: gas processing trains, pipelines, compression and utilities being built at the same time, which means sustained demand for welders, pipe fitters, riggers, scaffolders, electricians and certified operators over several years.
Plants and projects
- Jafurah gas processing plant and compression facilities
- Field gathering pipelines and well sites
- Utilities, power and water infrastructure for the field
- EPC contractor camps and laydown yards
Typical work
- Construction crews for piping, structural and electrical scopes
- Pre-commissioning and commissioning support
- Crane, telehandler and heavy-transport hire to EPC contractors
- Camp and catering services for project workforces
- When demand peaks
- Project phases set the demand rather than plant shutdowns; mobilisation runs in waves as each package moves from civil to mechanical to commissioning.
- Accommodation and transport
- Workforces live in project camps at the field; AKFAL mobilises crews from Jubail with transport and accommodation arranged under the contract.
Questions applicants ask
Do I need experience?
Yes — three or more years on heavy trucks in the Kingdom with a Saudi heavy licence. A licence from another country must be converted before you can drive.
Which certificates do I need?
The Saudi heavy licence is the requirement; a defensive-driving certificate is a plus.
Iqama, transfer and visa
Drivers already in Saudi Arabia with a transferable Iqama and a Saudi licence are placed first. Saudi nationals are especially welcome for driver roles.
Hours and shifts
Day shifts with occasional long-distance trips; night driving only under journey-management approval. Overtime is paid.
Where would I live in Jafurah?
Workforces live in project camps at the field; AKFAL mobilises crews from Jubail with transport and accommodation arranged under the contract.
How is salary decided?
Set by licence class and experience and fixed in the written offer. Not published.
