Hiring process

Your hiring journey, from your application to your arrival in Saudi Arabia.

At Aramco, we aim to make our hiring process as straightforward and as smooth as possible — from the moment you submit your CV to the moment you arrive in Saudi Arabia to begin your employment with Aramco. Whether it’s the recruiters updating you on interview arrangements, a specialist advisor helping you through the relocation process, or the Aramco representative meeting you at the airport, we provide expert support every step of the way.

Step 1: Application

If your CV shows the skills we’re looking for, our hiring organization will ask you to complete an Application for Employment — which standardizes and sets out the information we need.

If you think you have the right skills, why not complete this application when you submit your CV? — This could reduce the time you'll need to wait for a response.

Step 2: Interview

If your application is successful, you will be invited to an interview with some of our technical representatives. This will take place within our London, Houston or Singapore offices, at a recruiting event elsewhere in the world, or remotely via video conferencing.

Step 3: The offer

Upon Aramco's authorization, Aramco Americas Company (AACO), Aramco Overseas Company UK (AOC UK), Aramco Singapore, Aramco India, or another regional external office acting on behalf of Aramco, will give you a written conditional offer of employment. This offer specifies those conditions that must be met by you to take up employment with Aramco and outlines the compensation package being offered.

Step 4: Relocation

After accepting our offer, you’ll be assigned a Relocation Advisor. They will help you meet any processing requirements, including:

Clearing a medical examination and background checks.
Obtaining our clearance for any dependents who will attend Aramco Schools.
Acquiring a visa, which we will have arranged for you with the Saudi Arabian Consulate.
Planning notice with your current employer.
Travelling to Saudi Arabia including arranging flights.

Visas:

To live and work in Saudi Arabia, you’ll need a visa and residence permit from the Saudi Arabian government. Our team will fully support you throughout the entire process of obtaining this documentation.

Step 5: Pre-departure orientation

Before Relocating to Saudi Arabia, you will be invited to attend a pre-departure orientation designed to help you and your family prepare for the move. This session provides important information to support your mobilization, and what to expect when living and working in the Kingdom, helping you prepare for a smooth transition.

Step 6: Arrival in Saudi Arabia

Aramco has a general office at Dammam airport, which is operational 24 hours a day. Here, you’ll be issued with temporary identification and information on the local orientation that you’ll attend soon after you arrive.

A company representative will also meet you on arrival and take you to your accommodation.
