Living and working in Red Sea Project
A single professional should budget around SAR 10,800 per month here, excluding school fees.
A coastal tourism development in the Umluj and Al Wajh area, with roles split between site-based positions and corporate posts in Riyadh. AMAALA, further up the coast, is part of the same organisation and is often recruited for in the same breath.
Who is hiring
Construction and marine works during the build phases, then hospitality, resort operations, aviation and marine transport, environmental and conservation roles, and the facilities functions that keep remote luxury assets running.
The conservation commitment is not decoration: the destination is built around marine and habitat protection targets, and that genuinely shapes how construction and operations work day to day — which is worth knowing if you are coming from a conventional development background.
What daily life actually is
Accommodation is generally provided for site-based roles, in purpose-built villages. The setting is remote and coastal; the nearest substantial city is a long drive. Rotational patterns are common.
Before you accept
- Is the role site-based or Riyadh corporate? The two lives have almost nothing in common.
- What is the rotation and the flight arrangement?
- Is this Red Sea, AMAALA, or a shared function across both — the locations are not interchangeable.
