Riyadh Region
I am a Talent Acquisition, Workforce force, Planning and Global Mobility, International Onboarding professional based in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where I have built my career over the past 17+ years, with regional exposure through close coordination with UAE operations and wider GCC teams. My experience covers the full workforce journey, from understanding business and project requirements and finding the right talent to recruitment, onboarding, relocation, mobilization and workforce readiness. I have worked across corporate HQ, shared services, EPC, PMC/PMO, RPO and multinational joint ventures, supporting corporate functions and complex project environments. My industry experience spans engineering and construction, infrastructure, transportation and rail, aviation and airports, oil & gas, energy and utilities, real estate and mixed-use developments, entertainment and destination development, technology and data centers, industrial/EPC, and professional services and consultancy. Riyadh Metro has been an important part of my career. I supported recruitment and mobilization for the USD 7 billion Line 3 construction program and later worked on the large-scale Operations & Maintenance workforce program. My wider experience also includes major national and development programs across Saudi Arabia. For the past 8+ years, my work has increasingly been within enterprise and corporate teams, working directly with Vice Presidents, Program and Project Directors, functional leaders, hiring managers and regional/global teams on business-critical, technical and senior-level workforce requirements. I believe successful workforce delivery is not only about finding people. It is about understanding what the business needs, bringing the right people into the organization and making sure they are ready when needed.
