Construction and Civil Manpower

Complete site teams for Saudi contractors — civil engineers, foremen, masons, steel fixers, shuttering carpenters and construction labour.

Why This Category Differs

Site Teams, Not Individual Trades

Construction requirements are seldom confined to a single trade.

Construction requirements comprise site teams, frequently phased against construction readiness. The recruiting agency's responsibility is to move the complete team through one coordinated pipeline rather than delivering supervisory staff and their crews in separate mobilisations.

Assessment

Vetting Route for This Category

Two routes, because a substantial proportion of this category holds no formal qualification.

Trades listed under the Skill Verification Programme are assessed and certified prior to submission, following the same route applied to our MEP category: NAVTTC-authorised centres, tracked through to certificate issue.

Trades that fall outside the programme schedule require a different approach, and Jeewan's practice in this regard is stated openly. Masons, steel fixers and similar trades frequently hold no formal qualification and no documentary record, notwithstanding genuine competence acquired over many years. For these roles, assessment is conducted through practical demonstration and verification of employer references. Where a candidate's stated experience cannot be corroborated, this is recorded on the submission rather than left for the employer to establish after mobilisation.

Mobilisation timeline

The standard 45-day pipeline applies. For phased site teams, tranches are agreed in advance and mobilised against construction readiness rather than deployed simultaneously. Early arrival of personnel ahead of site readiness generates avoidable accommodation cost for the employer without operational benefit.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Jeewan supply complete site teams or individual trades only?+
Complete teams are supported and, where the requirement permits, preferred. Personnel sourced as a team are screened with regard to how the roles operate alongside one another, and progress through documentation as a single cohort.
Can a large site team be phased against construction readiness?+
Yes. Tranches are agreed in advance and mobilised against your programme rather than deployed simultaneously. The phasing schedule should accompany the Demand Letter so that sourcing and documentation are sequenced to match it.
How are masons and steel fixers assessed where no formal certificate exists?+
Through practical demonstration and verification of employer references. A substantial proportion of genuinely skilled tradesmen in Pakistan acquired their competence on site and hold no supporting documentation. Jeewan assesses the work rather than declining the category, and every submission distinguishes clearly between candidates whose competence is certificate-supported and those whose competence is experience-supported.
