projects<\/h1>\n<p>Manpower supply in Dammam and Al Khobar means a licensed provider places workers who are already in the Kingdom at your plant, warehouse or project under an Ajeer permit, while it keeps them on its own sponsorship, payroll and insurance. This guide explains how Ajeer works for Eastern Province buyers, where the demand sits across the three Dammam industrial cities and King Abdulaziz Port, how to handle licensed roles such as forklift operators, how to plan housing, meals and transport, and what to check before you sign.<\/p>\n<div class=\"meta\"><span>November 2026<\/span><span>9 minute

service contract: the provider supplies a crew of named workers, you direct their work at your site, and the provider remains their employer for the whole term.<\/p>\n<p>In Dammam, Al Khobar and Dhahran the service is used by factories and chemical plants in the industrial cities, logistics and port operators, contractors on residential, commercial and infrastructure projects, hospitals, malls and offices, and companies that need extra hands for a shutdown, a peak 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 workers.<\/li><li>Arranging licensed housing, meals and transport when your site does not provide them.<\/li><\/ul>\n<div class=\"box\"><b>BICC at a glance<\/b><ul><li>BICC (Basr International Contracting Co.) is a Saudi contractor providing worker accommodation,

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 an Eastern Province buyer should know which one the provider will use.<\/p>\n<table class=\"mtr-table mtr-tr-th\"><tr><th data-mtr-content=\"Route\" class=\"mtr-th-tag\"><div

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,

machine operators, cleaners and helpers on rotating shifts, often in small numbers to start with.<\/p>\n<p>King Abdulaziz Port in Dammam is the Kingdom&#x27;s main gateway on the Arabian Gulf, and a SAR 1.5 billion expansion of its second container terminal, inaugurated in November 2025, raised that terminal&#x27;s capacity from 2.5 million to 3.8 million containers a year.<\/p>\n<p>The port and the logistics parks around it create steady demand for warehouse helpers, drivers, forklift operators, tally clerks and maintenance technicians.<\/p>\n<p>Al Khobar and Dhahran add demand from offices, hospitals, malls, hotels and waterfront and residential projects, which ask for cleaners, housekeeping staff, kitchen helpers, maintenance technicians and fit-out trades.<\/p>\n<div class=\"box\"><b>Practical tip<\/b><p>For roles that need a certificate, such as forklift or crane operators, ask the provider to name each worker and send a copy of the operator certificate with the proposal.<\/p><p>Write the exact profession for every role, because the worker must hold that profession on the work permit.<\/p><\/div>\n<h2>What do Dammam and Al Khobar buyers ask before they hire?<\/h2>\n<p>The requests BICC received from the Eastern Province in October and November 2026 show four recurring questions.<\/p>\n<p>The first is size: many buyers start small, with two or three general workers or operators, and want to know that the provider can scale the same contract up later.<\/p>\n<p>The second is the rate basis: buyers ask for monthly and annual rates side by side, with and without transport to the site.<\/p>\n<p>The third is certified roles: plants and warehouses ask for licensed forklift operators and other certified trades, so the provider must show each worker&#x27;s certificate as well as the right profession on the permit.<\/p>\n<p>The fourth is housing: larger crews and staff teams ask for full-board accommodation with three meals, sometimes with a named cuisine, and a choice of room sizes from single to four-person rooms.<\/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 an Eastern Province crew?<\/h2>\n<p>Dammam and Al Khobar have a long, hot and humid summer, and heat shapes shift planning for every outdoor crew and every warehouse without cooling.<\/p>\n<p>In 2026 the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development banned outdoor work in direct sun in the private sector from 12 noon to 3 pm between 15 June and 15 September.<\/p>\n<p>The ministry reported 29,945 inspection visits and 1,771 recorded violations during the 2026 period, so enforcement is real.<\/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 the housing and the site protect the crew and keep productivity up.<\/p>\n<h2>How should you handle housing, meals and transport for a Dammam 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 data-mtr-content=\"Item\" class=\"mtr-th-tag\"><div
