Jubail Industrial City is Saudi Arabia's largest petrochemical hub. Home to Sadara, Saudi Kayan, Sipchem, SABIC operations, and dozens of process plants under Royal Commission for Jubail and Yanbu (RCJY) oversight. Our partner network connects employers running oil & gas operations in Jubail with the full workforce stack required for rcjy contractor status, aramco ik/idc pre-clearance, and operator-specific shutdown windows.

Employers using Ajeer outsourcing benefit from partners' Saudisation compliance rather than holding direct quota obligations on outsourced workforce. See Saudisation guide.
