Saudi Aramco

The world's largest integrated energy company, headquartered in Dhahran in the Eastern Province, and the longest-established employer of international professionals in the Kingdom.

What candidates should know

• Dhahran camp is a distinct living arrangement with its own schools, facilities and long-established expatriate community. It is unlike living in Riyadh or Jeddah, and worth researching specifically before accepting.
• Recruitment cycles are long and structured; multiple interview rounds and formal assessment are standard.
• Benefits and schooling provision are at the top end of the market; this is the benchmark other Saudi employers are measured against.
