Work Permit Receiver (15 position)
Industrial and utility projects depend on experienced permit and site-control professionals to keep daily activities organized and compliant with established safety procedures. A Work Permit Receiver plays an important role in coordinating authorized work, understanding permit conditions, and communicating requirements between field teams and project management. A current recruitment opportunity is available for Non-Aramco Work Permit Receivers in Jeddah, with long-term employment and company-provided food, accommodation, and transportation.
Opportunity for Experienced Work Permit Professionals
This vacancy is intended for candidates who understand permit-to-work systems and have experience working around industrial or utility operations. The employer is seeking 10 Work Permit Receivers, creating a sizeable requirement for qualified personnel who can communicate effectively and manage site responsibilities with confidence.
Unlike positions focused purely on technical trade work, a Work Permit Receiver must understand how planned activities are controlled before work begins. The position requires good coordination, awareness of site conditions, and the ability to communicate permit-related information clearly to workers and supervisors.
What the Work Permit Receiver Will Do
The selected professionals will be responsible for receiving and understanding work permits, checking that required conditions are in place, and coordinating with relevant personnel before and during work activities. They may communicate permit requirements to field workers, monitor compliance with stated conditions, and report concerns to the appropriate supervisor.
Because the role involves interaction with different teams, strong communication is important. Candidates should be able to understand instructions, maintain basic documentation, and communicate confidently in English. Awareness of overhead transmission line environments is also relevant because the vacancy specifically requests OHTL experience.
The position also calls for familiarity with third-party training requirements and an EWA certificate, indicating that applicants should have the credentials and practical exposure requested by the employer before applying.
Experience, Certifications and Candidate Profile
Applicants should have relevant experience as a Work Permit Receiver and be comfortable working in a structured industrial environment. The recruitment notice specifies Non-Aramco experience and requires an EWA certificate, Saudi driving licence, third-party training and certification, and OHTL experience.
Strong English communication is also required, including the ability to read and write English. Candidates who can communicate clearly with supervisors, workers, and project personnel will be better positioned for this role.
Applicants should also ensure that their employment and identification documents are valid. The stated documentation includes a medical report, valid Iqama, insurance, Muqeem, original passport, and Ajeer.
