Every few months, a recruitment advertisement appears in the newspaper that genuinely changes the direction of a household. The advertisement published in Daily Express on 21 October, 2026 by Chaudhary Recruiting Agency is one of them. This is not a single vacancy or a small batch of openings — it is a bulk recruitment of 23 posts for Saudi Arabia, covering two of the Kingdom’s busiest work destinations, Riyadh and Dammam. The hiring spans four engineers, a long list of specialist technicians across electrical, mechanical, HVAC, BMS and plumbing trades, and skilled building trades including welders, tile masons, painters and carpenters. For Pakistani technicians and engineers looking for Gulf employment through a properly licensed channel, this is one of the larger single-agency recruitments of the season.
The window to act, however, is short. The advertisement fixes 28 October, 2026 as the last date for CV submission, which gives applicants barely a week from the date of publication. Because the application method is a simple email — your CV goes to cv@craglobal.com — there is no long form to fill and no portal to wrestle with, but there is also no room for delay. This article walks you through everything the advertisement states: every one of the 23 posts, the education bands, the salary figures as published in the ad, the exact application steps, and — because this is overseas recruitment — the verification steps you should take before paying anyone a single rupee.

About Chaudhary Recruiting Agency
Chaudhary Recruiting Agency is operating in this advertisement as a licensed Overseas Employment Promoter (OEP), and it prints its licence number — LIC: 0605/GJT — on the advertisement itself. That detail matters more than anything else in the ad. In Pakistan, overseas recruitment for foreign employers is regulated through the Bureau of Emigration & Overseas Employment, and only promoters holding a valid OEP licence are legally permitted to recruit workers for jobs abroad. The licence number printed on the advertisement is the worker’s tool: it can be checked against the Bureau’s official record before anyone pays a fee, signs a contract or hands over a passport.
A word of general context for anyone new to overseas recruitment. Licensed OEPs recruit Pakistani workers against confirmed foreign demand — in this case, demand from employers in Riyadh and Dammam, Saudi Arabia. The OEP collects CVs, screens candidates, and typically arranges trade tests or interviews for the shortlisted applicants. Legitimate recruiters work transparently: they print their licence number, they communicate through stated channels, and they document every payment with an official receipt. Keep that standard in mind as you read this article, because it is the standard this recruitment should be measured against, and the pro tip at the end of the application steps will show you exactly how to verify it.
Available Positions
The advertisement announces 23 posts in total, grouped here exactly as listed. The four engineering posts lead the list, followed by a wide band of technician posts and the skilled building trades.
Civil Engineer
A degree-level engineering seat for candidates with a B.E or Bachelor’s qualification in Civil Engineering. In Saudi maintenance and construction operations, a civil engineer typically oversees building works, repairs and site-level supervision — reviewing drawings, monitoring the quality of masonry, plastering and finishing work, and coordinating the civil trades (masons, carpenters, painters) so that maintenance jobs are completed to specification and on schedule.
Electrical Engineer
An engineering post for B.E or Bachelor’s holders in Electrical Engineering. The role centres on the electrical systems of buildings and facilities: distribution panels, wiring installations, lighting, backup power and the electrical side of building equipment. In a maintenance set-up, the electrical engineer plans preventive maintenance, troubleshoots faults, and supervises electricians and electrical technicians working under the engineer’s direction.
Mechanical Engineer
A mechanical engineering seat for B.E or Bachelor’s qualified candidates. Mechanical engineers in Gulf facility operations look after rotating and mechanical equipment — pumps, generators, HVAC plant and building services machinery. The work combines maintenance planning, breakdown diagnosis and supervision of mechanical technicians, with an emphasis on keeping equipment running with minimum downtime.
BMS Engineer
BMS — Building Management Systems — is the central nervous system of modern commercial buildings in Saudi Arabia: it monitors and controls HVAC, lighting, access, fire systems and energy use from one platform. A BMS engineer configures, programs and maintains these systems, integrates new equipment into the network, diagnoses communication and sensor faults, and trains operators. This is a specialist seat and suits engineers with automation or controls background alongside their degree.
BMS Technician
The hands-on counterpart to the BMS engineer. A BMS technician installs and maintains field devices — sensors, actuators, controllers and wiring — carries out routine system checks, assists in commissioning, and responds to alarms and fault reports from the building management platform. Familiarity with control panels and low-voltage wiring is central to this trade.
HVAC Technician
Heating, ventilation and air-conditioning technicians are in near-permanent demand across the Gulf, and this advertisement prices the post accordingly — 1700 SAR per month as published in the advertisement, the highest technician figure in the list. The role covers installation, servicing and repair of split units, package units, chillers and ductwork: leak detection, compressor and refrigerant work, filter and coil maintenance, and the seasonal servicing that keeps cooling systems alive through the Saudi summer.
Electrician
The classic building electrician’s trade: installing, maintaining and repairing wiring, switches, sockets, lighting fixtures, distribution boards and small appliances in residential and commercial buildings. Fault-finding on circuits, safe isolation of supplies before work, and neat, standards-compliant installation are the daily bread of this post.
Electrical Technician
A broader electrical trade role than the building electrician, typically covering panels, motors, control circuits and equipment-level electrical work in facilities. Electrical technicians read schematics, test and replace components, carry out preventive maintenance schedules on electrical plant, and respond to breakdown calls across a site.
Electronics Technician
This trade works at the component and circuit level: repairing and maintaining electronic equipment, control boards, communication devices and low-power systems. Soldering, board-level diagnosis, testing with multimeters and oscilloscopes, and replacing failed modules are typical tasks. In a building-services context, electronics technicians often support access control, CCTV and communication systems.
Mechanical Technician
The mechanical technician maintains and repairs mechanical equipment — motors, pumps, compressors, fans and building services plant. The work includes scheduled servicing, replacement of bearings, belts and seals, alignment checks, and assisting the mechanical engineer during major overhauls. Sound mechanical aptitude and safe workshop practice are the foundations of this trade.
Low Current Technician
“Low current” covers the systems that run on low voltage rather than mains power: fire alarm systems, public address, CCTV, access control, intercoms and data cabling. A low current technician installs, terminates and maintains these networks — pulling cable, mounting devices, programming panels and testing each system end to end. With security and life-safety systems involved, careful, documented work matters here.
Elevator Maintenance Technician
A specialist and safety-critical trade. Elevator technicians carry out preventive maintenance on lifts and escalators: inspecting ropes, brakes, doors, controllers and safety devices; adjusting and lubricating components; responding to entrapments and breakdowns; and keeping maintenance logs that demonstrate compliance with safety requirements. Manufacturers’ training or prior lift-company experience is particularly valuable in this seat.
Generator Electrical Technician
Backup generators are non-negotiable infrastructure in the Kingdom, and this technician keeps them ready. The role covers routine servicing of diesel generator sets — oil, filters, coolant and battery checks — load-bank testing, automatic transfer switch maintenance, and rapid response when a set fails to start or take load during an outage.
Water Treatment Technician
Water treatment technicians operate and maintain filtration, softening, reverse-osmosis and chlorination equipment that produces usable water for buildings and compounds. The work involves monitoring water quality parameters, dosing chemicals, backwashing filters, replacing membranes and cartridges, and maintaining pumps and control panels in the treatment plant.
Painting Technician
Distinct from the building painter trade below, the painting technician role in facility operations covers surface preparation and coating work on equipment, plant and building elements — industrial and protective coatings as well as decorative finishes. Surface cleaning, priming, spray and brush application, and knowledge of different paint systems for metal, concrete and masonry surfaces are the core skills.
Pumps Technician
Water supply, drainage, irrigation and fire-fighting systems all depend on pumps, and this technician is their keeper. The role involves installing, servicing and repairing centrifugal and submersible pumps, diagnosing cavitation, seal and motor faults, maintaining control panels and float switches, and keeping spare-parts records for the pump inventory of a facility.
Plumbing Sanitary Technician
The building plumber’s trade: installing, repairing and maintaining water supply lines, drainage and sanitary fittings — taps, mixers, WCs, washbasins, water heaters and the pipework behind them. Leak diagnosis, unblocking drains, replacing fixtures and testing new installations are daily tasks, carried out across residential units and commercial washrooms.
Welder
A general welding post covering arc and gas welding on structural and general fabrication work. The welder joins and repairs metal components — gates, railings, frames, pipe supports and equipment parts — reading simple fabrication drawings, selecting electrodes, and producing sound, safe welds. The advertisement places welder posts at 1400 SAR per month as published in the advertisement.
Welder (Metal Work)
Listed separately from the general welder post, this seat focuses on metal-work fabrication — the workshop and site production of metal items such as doors, windows, grilles, staircases and structural frames. It calls for the same core welding skills applied specifically to fabrication output: cutting, fitting, tacking and finishing metalwork to drawing and dimension.
Tile Mason
The tile mason lays floor and wall tiles in bathrooms, kitchens, lobbies and external areas: setting out, cutting, bedding in mortar or adhesive, grouting and finishing to level and line. Clean, even work with minimal lippage is the mark of a good tile mason, and Gulf clients inspect finishing closely. The advertisement groups mason posts at 1400 SAR per month as published in the advertisement.
Building Painter
The decorative building painter prepares interior and exterior surfaces — filling, sanding, priming — and applies emulsion, enamel and texture finishes to walls and ceilings. Straight cutting-in lines, even coverage and tidy site protection separate professional painters from casual labour, and this is the trade the advertisement values at 1400 SAR per month as published in the advertisement.
Finishing Carpenter
The finishing carpenter handles the woodwork that clients see and touch: doors and frames, wardrobes, kitchen cabinets, skirting, architraves and wooden panelling. Precise measuring, cutting and fixing, hanging doors true, and fine finishing work define this trade. The advertisement places this post at 1400 SAR per month as published in the advertisement.
General Maintenance Technician
The all-rounder of the maintenance team. A general maintenance technician handles the day-to-day repair calls that do not fit neatly into one trade: minor electrical fixes, plumbing touch-ups, carpentry repairs, painting patches and lock changes. Versatility is the requirement — this seat suits experienced handymen who can diagnose and fix a wide spread of small problems quickly and leave the site tidy.
Eligibility Criteria
Educational Qualification
The listing groups the required education as Matric, Intermediate, DAE, B.E and Bachelor, but it does not break these qualifications down post by post — so the advertisement itself does not say which qualification belongs to which seat. Read plainly, the natural reading is that the four engineering posts (Civil, Electrical, Mechanical and BMS Engineer) call for the degree-level qualifications — B.E or Bachelor’s — while the technician and skilled-trade posts draw on the DAE, Intermediate and Matric bands, with trade or technical training behind them. That said, because the ad does not assign qualifications per post, the safest approach is to apply for the post your own qualification and trade most clearly match, and let the screening process decide the rest.
Required Experience
The listing does not state any experience requirement — no minimum years, and no per-post experience condition. That is worth stating plainly, because many applicants will wonder whether they are excluded for being fresh. They are not excluded by the advertisement. In practical terms, though, these are hands-on trades: a technician or skilled worker who can demonstrate real site or workshop experience will always have an advantage, because overseas employers for Saudi maintenance operations routinely expect candidates to clear a practical trade test. If you have relevant trade experience, make it prominent on your CV — employer names, duration, and the equipment or systems you worked on.
Other Eligibility Notes
The advertisement does not state age limits, domicile conditions or passport requirements, so none are reproduced here. As general guidance for overseas employment — not as a condition printed in this ad — applicants should keep in mind that Gulf employment requires a valid passport and, at later stages, medical fitness certification and protector-of-emigrants documentation, all of which are handled after selection. Do not hand your passport or original documents to anyone before you have verified the recruiter’s licence and received a documented offer. Apply for one post only — the trade you can actually perform — because spreading one application across unrelated trades weakens every part of it.
Skills Required
- Trade-specific hands-on competence — the practical ability to do the work, not just the certificate
- Ability to read basic technical drawings, schematics and equipment manuals relevant to the trade
- Safe working practice: lockout/tagout, electrical isolation, PPE use and workshop discipline
- Fault diagnosis — tracing a problem to its cause before replacing parts
- Preventive maintenance routines: scheduled servicing, inspections and record keeping
- Familiarity with the tools of the trade, from multimeters and welding sets to tiling and painting equipment
- Clear communication with supervisors and facility users, in Urdu and basic work-site English or Arabic terms
- Physical fitness and readiness for site work in Gulf climate conditions
Job Responsibilities
Across all 23 posts, the unifying theme is the same: keeping buildings and their services running. Whether the seat is an engineer planning maintenance or a mason finishing a washroom, the employer’s expectation is reliable, quality-conscious site work in Riyadh and Dammam facilities. Day-to-day responsibilities vary by trade, but the pattern of duties below reflects what these posts involve in practice.
- Carry out installation, maintenance and repair work in the assigned trade to the required standard
- Respond to breakdown and maintenance calls promptly and restore services with minimum downtime
- Diagnose faults systematically — electrical, mechanical, plumbing, HVAC or finishing — before carrying out repairs
- Perform scheduled preventive maintenance: servicing, inspections, cleaning and replacement of consumables
- Engineers: plan maintenance schedules, supervise technicians and trades, and verify the quality of completed work
- Maintain tools, equipment and materials in good order; report shortages and spare-part needs
- Follow safety procedures at all times, including isolation of services before work and proper use of protective equipment
- Keep simple work records — job cards, maintenance logs and material usage — as required by the supervisor
- Coordinate with other trades on multi-trade jobs so that work sequences correctly (for example, plumbing before tiling)
- Leave every work site clean and hand it back in usable condition
The candidates who succeed in Gulf maintenance roles are rarely the ones with the longest certificates — they are the ones who diagnose quickly, work cleanly, respect safety rules and communicate problems honestly to their supervisors. A trade test, where one is held, will measure exactly those qualities rather than memorised theory.
Salary & Benefits
This advertisement is unusual — and welcome — in that it actually prints salary figures. Every figure below is reproduced exactly as published in the advertisement; these are the ad’s own numbers, and we have not independently verified them:
- Engineer posts (Civil, Electrical, Mechanical, BMS): 5000 SAR per month — as published in the advertisement.
- HVAC Technician: 1700 SAR per month — as published in the advertisement, the highest technician figure in the list.
- Technician posts (BMS, Electrical, Electronics, Mechanical, Low Current, Elevator Maintenance, Generator Electrical, Water Treatment, Painting, Pumps and Plumbing Sanitary Technicians, plus Electrician and General Maintenance Technician): 1600 SAR per month — as published in the advertisement.
- Skilled building trades (Welder, Welder Metal Work, Tile Mason, Building Painter, Finishing Carpenter): 1400 SAR per month — as published in the advertisement.
Be clear about what the advertisement does not state: it gives no detail on accommodation, transport, medical coverage, working hours, overtime, annual leave or contract duration. In general — and this is general context about Gulf employment, not a claim about this advertisement — Saudi employers commonly provide accommodation and transport for worker-category staff, and the final written contract is where every term should appear before you travel. Whatever the advertisement prints, treat the signed foreign service agreement as the document that actually governs your pay and conditions, and read it before you sign.
How to Apply — Step by Step
- Read the original newspaper advertisement carefully (Daily Express, 21 October, 2026) and confirm the post you are applying for is among the 23 listed.
- Choose one post — the trade you are genuinely qualified to perform. Do not apply for three trades at once.
- Prepare a clear, honest CV: your name and contact details, the exact post title at the top, your education (Matric / Intermediate / DAE / B.E / Bachelor as applicable), your trade experience with employers and durations, and the equipment or systems you have worked on.
- Email your CV to cv@craglobal.com — the address printed in the advertisement — with a clear subject line such as Application for HVAC Technician – Saudi Arabia.
- Send the email well before 28 October, 2026. Do not wait for the last day; inboxes for bulk recruitments fill fast and late emails risk being missed.
- If you need clarification, use the telephone numbers printed in the advertisement: 053-7701058, 053-7701280, 051-4917012, 0370-0030881, 0370-0030882.
- Keep a copy of the exact CV you sent and a record (screenshot or sent-mail copy) of the submission.
- Before paying any fee or signing anything, verify the agency’s OEP licence 0605/GJT with the Bureau of Emigration & Overseas Employment — see the pro tip below.
Pro Tip: The single most important step in any overseas recruitment is verifying the recruiter’s licence. Check licence 0605/GJT of Chaudhary Recruiting Agency against the Bureau of Emigration & Overseas Employment’s official record before you pay any processing fee, sign any agreement, or hand over your passport. Pay only against an official receipt, keep copies of everything, and remember: a genuine licensed recruiter will never ask you to pay in cash with no paperwork.

Selection Process
The advertisement itself does not describe the selection stages — it states the posts, the salary figures, the email address and the deadline, and nothing more about how candidates will be screened. What follows is therefore a description of how licensed OEP recruitment for Saudi jobs typically proceeds, offered as general guidance so applicants know what to expect; none of these stages are confirmed as this advertisement’s process.
Ordinarily, the agency first screens the emailed CVs against the trade applied for, and shortlisted candidates are contacted — usually by phone — for the next stage. For technician and skilled-trade posts, that next stage is very often a practical trade test: an HVAC technician may be asked to diagnose a faulty unit, a welder to lay a test bead, a tile mason to set a small area. Engineers are more likely to face a technical interview about their experience and methods. Candidates who clear the trade test or interview then move to documentation: verification of education and experience, medical fitness examination at an approved centre, and the protector-of-emigrants formalities through the Bureau of Emigration & Overseas Employment. The foreign service agreement — the contract stating salary, benefits and duration — is signed before travel, and it is the document you should read line by line.
Keep your phone reachable in the days after you email your CV, because shortlisting calls for bulk recruitments often come quickly. If you are called, confirm who is calling, which post the call concerns, and where and when the trade test will be held — and take your original documents and your tools of the trade if the test is practical.
Career Tips
- Apply for the one trade you can actually perform. In Gulf recruitment the trade test is the real interview. An electrician who applies as an electrician and tests cleanly will beat a jack-of-all-trades application every time — so pick your strongest trade and own it.
- Put the exact post title on your CV. With 23 posts in one inbox, the agency sorts by the title at the top of the CV. A CV headed “Application for Elevator Maintenance Technician” reaches the right pile; a generic “Application for Job” may not reach any pile at all.
- Rehearse the practical test for your trade. If you are a welder, practise clean, consistent beads. If you are an HVAC technician, revise gauge readings and leak detection. If you are a tile mason, work on level, evenly spaced setting. A trade test rewards recent practice, not old certificates.
- Get your travel documents in order now. A valid passport is the first thing checked after selection, and renewals take time. Check your passport’s validity this week rather than discovering a problem at the documentation stage.
- Verify licence 0605/GJT before paying anything. Check Chaudhary Recruiting Agency’s OEP licence against the Bureau of Emigration & Overseas Employment’s official record. This one check protects you more than any other step in the whole process.
- Email early and confirm delivery. Send your CV days before 28 October, 2026, keep the sent-mail record, and consider one polite follow-up call on the advertised numbers to confirm your CV was received and filed under the right post.
- Never hand over originals to an intermediary. Deal with the agency through its stated channels, keep your original passport and documents in your own possession until a documented stage requires them, and take an official receipt for every payment you make.
