Eastern Diamond Construction Co. Ltd. (EDC) has announced an urgent recruitment drive dated 22 October 2026 for 70 workers across three industrial project categories. The vacancies include 20 Work Permit Receivers (WPR) for non-Aramco work, 20 Rigger III personnel with TUV certification, and 30 Scaffolders with TUV certification. The advertised hourly rates range from SAR 13 to SAR 20, depending on the position.
The recruitment notice identifies the project as EDC-EGC-FNS-Sawiq-Haibat-Al Harakha, with work locations listed as Abqaiq and Dammam. These positions support different aspects of industrial construction and site operations, including permit coordination, lifting activities, and temporary access structures. The notice also states that FAT is free. Applicants should confirm the full meaning of FAT and any related arrangements with the employer before mobilization.
Key Responsibilities and Site Duties
Work Permit Receivers generally coordinate work activities under an approved permit-to-work system. Their responsibilities may include understanding permit conditions, communicating safety requirements to work teams, and ensuring that work proceeds within the authorization and controls specified for the task. The notice specifies non-Aramco WPR positions, so candidates should verify the precise client and project requirements.
Rigger III personnel support lifting and material-handling operations. Typical duties can include checking lifting accessories, attaching loads correctly, following the lift plan, and communicating with crane operators and other lifting personnel. Scaffolders assemble, modify, and dismantle scaffolding according to approved procedures and safety requirements. Their work helps provide access for construction, inspection, and maintenance teams. Exact duties must be confirmed against the project’s operating procedures.
Required Skills, Certifications and Experience
The recruitment announcement specifically states TUV certification for both Rigger III and Scaffolder positions. Candidates applying for these categories should ensure their certificates are valid and acceptable for the assigned work. WPR positions are described as non-Aramco, but the notice does not provide further qualification or certification details for this category.
The announcement does not specify minimum years of experience, educational qualifications, Iqama validity, required supporting documents, or interview arrangements. Applicants should ask the recruitment contacts about these requirements and prepare an updated CV and relevant certificates. Candidates should not assume that meeting the certification requirement alone guarantees selection.
Industrial Context and Work Environment
The project locations are listed as Abqaiq and Dammam, areas associated with industrial and construction activity in Saudi Arabia’s Eastern Province. Permit coordination, safe lifting, and secure scaffolding are important to maintaining worksite safety and operational continuity. These roles may involve coordination with supervisors, equipment operators, safety teams, and other trades. The supplied notice does not identify the exact worksite for each category, shift timings, contract duration, or accommodation and transport arrangements; candidates should verify these details before accepting an offer.
