payroll and insurance. This guide explains how Ajeer works for Jeddah buyers, where the demand sits across the industrial cities, the port and the hotel sector, how to plan housing, meals and transport for the crew, and what to check before you sign.<\/p>\n<div class=\"meta\"><span>November 2026<\/span><span>9 minute read<\/span><span>Manpower<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<section class=\"sec\"><div

site, and the provider remains their employer for the whole term.<\/p>\n<p>In Jeddah the service is used by factories in the industrial cities, logistics and port operators, contractors on residential and infrastructure projects, hotels and hospitals, cleaning and facility management contractors, and companies that need extra hands for a season or a short project.<\/p>\n<p>A complete provider covers more than the workers themselves.<\/p>\n<ul><li>Sourcing workers who already hold valid residence and work permits in the Kingdom.<\/li><li>Issuing the Ajeer permits that allow them to work for your establishment.<\/li><li>Paying wages through the wage protection system and keeping medical insurance in force.<\/li><li>Supplying supervisors, attendance records and replacements for absent

manpower in Jeddah?<\/h2>\n<p>Ajeer is the government platform, now run within Qiwa, that lets one establishment make its workers available to another without transferring their sponsorship.<\/p>\n<p>The platform offers two main routes, and a Jeddah buyer should know which one the provider will use.<\/p>\n<table class=\"mtr-table mtr-tr-th\"><tr><th data-mtr-content=\"Route\"

the profession shown on the work permit.<\/li><li>A permit ends after three years at most or at the end of the service contract, whichever comes first.<\/li><li>The worker&#x27;s consent is required unless the employment contract already allows the arrangement.<\/li><li>Work should start only after the permit is issued, not when the contract is created or the invoice is paid.<\/li><\/ul>\n<p>Ajeer fees vary with the permit duration you request, and the invoice is paid through SADAD after the beneficiary approves the request.<\/p>\n<p class=\"more\"><a

areas ask mostly for general labourers, loaders, forklift and machine operators, packers, cleaners and helpers on rotating shifts.<\/p>\n<p>Jeddah Islamic Port, the Kingdom&#x27;s main gateway on the Red Sea, handles about 20,000 containers a day, and Mawani announced a further SAR 641 million expansion in July 2026.<\/p>\n<p>The port and the logistics parks around it create steady demand for warehouse helpers, drivers, tally clerks and maintenance technicians.<\/p>\n<p>Hotels, hospitals, malls and towers across the city ask for cleaners, housekeeping staff, kitchen helpers and maintenance technicians, and their demand rises before the Hajj and Umrah peaks because Jeddah is the gateway to Makkah.<\/p>\n<p>Residential, road and fit-out projects in the north and south of the city ask for masons, carpenters, steel fixers, painters, electricians, plumbers and HVAC technicians, with foremen to run each crew.<\/p>\n<div class=\"box\"><b>Practical tip<\/b><p>Write the exact profession for every role in your request, because the worker must hold that profession on the work permit.<\/p><p>A request for five cleaners and one supervisor should list both professions separately, so the provider can match each permit to a role.<\/p><\/div>\n<h2>What do Jeddah buyers ask before they hire?<\/h2>\n<p>The requests BICC received from Jeddah and Makkah in October 2026 show four recurring questions.<\/p>\n<p>The first is size and duration: buyers range from a small temporary team of one supervisor and five workers to crews of 200 and 500 people for 12 months.<\/p>\n<p>The second is nationality: some buyers ask for a specific nationality, so the provider must say early what its current workforce can supply.<\/p>\n<p>The third is housing: larger crews need a whole building or camp with a group housing licence, often with three meals, transport, cleaning, laundry, Wi-Fi and security in one package.<\/p>\n<p>The fourth is speed: buyers want to know how quickly the crew can be on site, which depends on workers already being on the provider&#x27;s sponsorship and on the Ajeer permit being issued.<\/p>\n<p>A good provider answers all four in the first proposal, with a rate for each option and a clear line on what the rate includes.<\/p>\n<h2>How do heat and the midday work ban affect a Jeddah crew?<\/h2>\n<p>Jeddah&#x27;s long, hot and humid summer shapes shift planning for every outdoor crew.<\/p>\n<p>In 2025 the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development banned outdoor work in the private sector from 12 noon to 3 pm between 15 June and 15 September, and contractors should check the dates announced each year.<\/p>\n<p>Plan an early start and a split shift for outdoor trades in summer, and agree in the contract how lost hours and overtime are handled.<\/p>\n<p>Rest areas with shade, cool drinking water and air-conditioned buses between camp and site protect the crew and keep productivity up.<\/p>\n<h2>How should you handle housing, meals and transport for a Jeddah crew?<\/h2>\n<p>Every establishment with 20 or more workers is expected to regularise its labour housing, either by holding a collective housing licence through Balady or by using a licensed housing provider.<\/p>\n<p>Non-compliance can lead to recorded violations and the suspension of some government services for the establishment.<\/p>\n<p>For a seconded crew, the cleanest answer is a rate that includes the bed, the meals and the bus, so that housing compliance sits with the provider and not with you.<\/p>\n<table class=\"mtr-table mtr-tr-th\"><tr><th
