About the job
Between a purchase order and a delivery at the plant gate sit a dozen things that can slip: a factory running late, a container stuck at the port, a missing certificate, a truck without the right permit. The logistics and expediting coordinator owns that gap. They chase manufacturers for production and shipping dates, work with freight forwarders and customs brokers on import clearance, arrange local transport from AKFAL's fleet and confirm to the client and the sales engineer exactly when the goods will arrive.
What you will do
- Expedite open purchase orders with manufacturers and distributors; obtain and verify production and shipping dates
- Coordinate sea, air and road freight with forwarders; prepare and check shipping documents and certificates
- Work with customs brokers on import clearance, SABER/SASO conformity and duty paperwork
- Schedule local delivery with AKFAL's transport fleet and the client's gate-pass requirements
- Keep delivery status current in the ERP and report weekly on late items
What we look for
- 3+ years in logistics, expediting or import coordination for industrial goods in the Gulf
- Familiar with Incoterms, shipping documents and Saudi import requirements (SABER, SASO, FASAH)
- Organised and persistent — the job is following up until the item is on site
- Strong written English; Arabic an advantage for customs and transport
- Confident with Excel and an ERP or tracking system
Certificates that help
- Diploma in logistics or supply chain
- Training in Incoterms / international freight, an advantage
- Familiarity with SABER / SASO conformity procedures
- Saudi driving licence, an advantage
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 coordinating shipments of industrial goods, ideally with Saudi import experience.
Which certificates do I need?
A logistics diploma is expected; freight and Incoterms training helps. We test with a real shipment scenario.
Iqama, transfer and visa
Candidates inside Saudi Arabia with a transferable Iqama are placed first. Saudi nationals are especially welcome.
Hours and shifts
Office hours in Jubail, with follow-up across time zones for overseas suppliers and occasional port or site visits.
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.
