"We opened a F&B outlet launch in Sohar and needed 17 Waiters on a tight timeline. Mahad sent video service assessments before anyone flew — we shortlisted remotely and they arrived deployment-ready. The GAMCA Medical + Oman Health Check was arranged by Mahad before departure. 2 batches placed now, no replacements."

Sohar Projects Hiring Waiters

While Sohar's economy is primarily driven by Oil & Gas, there is an emerging demand for Waiters as the city diversifies its project portfolio. Oman's Ministry of Manpower has streamlined work permits for Hospitality professionals, and Sohar employers increasingly source Waiters for specialist roles in Sohar Freezone expansion-style developments. The very high demand level reflects current market conditions, with forward forecasts projecting growth as Sohar's Oil & Gas sector expands and cross-trade requirements increase. Mahad Manpower deploys Waiters to Sohar with full Sanad compliance and a 90-day placement guarantee.

Sohar currently has extremely high demand with multiple concurrent mega-projects for Waiters. Key sectors include petrochemical, aluminum smelting, logistics. Sohar is Oman's industrial growth engine. Freezone expansion attracts $10 billion+ in manufacturing investment.

Active Projects

  • Sohar Freezone expansion
  • Liwa Plastics
