Al Rajhi Construction Group

Saudi Arabia

01The Challenge

A major Saudi construction conglomerate required 850 skilled workers for a critical infrastructure project in Riyadh. The requirement spanned multiple trades including certified masons, shuttering carpenters, steel fixers, and MEP technicians. The project had a tight 60-day mobilization window with strict penalties for delays.

02Our Strategy

The Riyadh Infrastructure Expansion is one of the most ambitious projects in the Kingdom's Vision 2030 roadmap. Our client, Al Rajhi Construction, faced a critical bottleneck: local labor shortages threatened to derail the initial phase timeline. Our strategy focused on three pillars: **Speed, Quality, and Compliance.** 1. **Sourcing:** We didn't just post ads; we tapped into our database of "Gulf-Return" workers—veterans with prior GCC experience who required minimal training. 2. **Vetting:** Every steel fixer and mason underwent a practical test assessed by rigorous third-party inspectors. Only those scoring above 85% were shortlisted. 3. **Deployment:** We chartered logistics for medicals and visa stamping, creating a "green corridor" that bypassed typical delays. The result was a textbook example of high-volume mobilization managed with military precision.
