The King Fahd Rd, Al Olaya District office has been running for over 5 years and is largely utilised as a ‘Project Office’. A number of the technical teams that have delivered projects here have done so by being based in our clients’ offices in Riyadh for the most part, and utilising our office as a supplementary location if required.

A small number of local employees are based in the office, but the vast majority of the technical team travel to the region from elsewhere to deliver project tasks. A number of long term projects in the region have necessitated multi-year and long-term commitment from delivery teams.

The office is located within approximately 30 mins of our Ricardo Rail offices, where six employees are currently based. Ricardo Rail is our sister company and has a number of other regional offices, located in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Doha in Qatar.

Our team have a close relationship within the office and with our clients. This helps us ensure visiting colleagues are able to fully experience both the culture and the business aspects of this modern and vibrant city when they are with us.

If you join us, you will have the opportunity to work and socialise with both our ‘local’ team members and also with other expatriate office-based technical staff.
