insights 8 reasons to bring your project management career to Saudi Arabia with AtkinsRéalis
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) is on track to become a global tech hub centered around innovation and digital entrepreneurship.
Vision 2030 has already made waves in transforming the nation’s infrastructure in a bid to move away from reliance on oil and gas.
With the rapid development in the construction sector, there are boundless opportunities for career growth. As such, working in Saudi Arabia is increasingly attractive for many professionals on their project management career path.
Is Saudi Arabia a good country to live and work?
Along with an abundance of great career opportunities for professionals in many sectors, numerous cultural and lifestyle factors make KSA an attractive place to live and work.
From the beautiful scenery, rich culture, and fantastic weather to economic growth, a boom in the construction industry, and a shift towards a renewable-focused policy, there are plenty of reasons why working in Saudi Arabia is both enriching personally and professionally.
Below, we’ve expanded on eight reasons why you should consider bringing your project management career to KSA with AtkinsRéalis.
1. Contribute your expertise to groundbreaking mega-projects
Whether it’s NEOM in the heart of the Tabuk province or the New Murabba Project in the scenic region of Riyadh, bringing your project management career to the KSA with AtkinsRéalis will open many doors for your future.
With these state-of-the-art projects, you’ll work hands-on on beacons of innovation to engineer a better, greener tomorrow.
2. Expand your career potential
Moving your career to Saudi Arabia not only brings a host of cultural benefits but also career opportunities.
Investments in renewable energy and project infrastructure are set to increase as the KSA strives towards a net zero future by 2060.
A project management career move to KSA with AtkinsRéalis is certainly a secure one as the nation announces more and more projects to meet its policy focuses.
3. Assist with reaching the goals and objectives set out in Saudi Vision 2030
At its core, Saudi Vision 2030 embodies the principles of a vibrant society, a thriving economy, and an ambitious nation committed to efficiency.
Similar to our own mission at AtkinsRéalis, Vision 2030 strives to create a renewable, sustainable future that unlocks the potential of its people.
When you bring your project management career to KSA, you’ll be assisting with making Vision 2030 a reality.
4. Expose yourself to different cultures and ways of living
Working in Saudi Arabia offers a unique cultural experience.
With the Kingdom’s rich history and heritage as well as the diverse range of cultures residing in the nation, moving your career here gives you the opportunity to familiarize yourself with new ways of living and working.
5. Earn a tax-free income
In KSA, there is no individual income tax scheme.
Compared to many other countries, the nation’s tax system is quite unique - there’s no income tax if you are an employee in Saudi Arabia as well as no wealth taxes or stamp duty. This makes it an attractive location for many professionals to move their careers.
6. Experience first-hand new tourist destinations
In recent years, the tourism industry in Saudi Arabia has been booming. The KSA is on a massive building spree, whether it’s building new hotels or sports resorts or creating islands, there’s a lot of investment in this sphere at present.
The boom in tourism not only offers opportunities for project managers to make their mark but also offers the chance for those who relocate to the nation to enjoy what’s on offer.
7. Explore beautiful historical sites and take in the scenery
Across the vast expanse of the scenic Saudi Arabian desert, you’ll find an array of historical and religious sites.
When you aren’t using your expertise in project management to plan and execute some of the marvels of engineering across the nation, you can unwind and immerse yourself in the Kingdom’s history and culture.
8. Take advantage of the travel opportunities
KSA is very well connected when it comes to air travel.
The nation boasts over 30 airports that travel internationally and regionally. The Saudi Air Connectivity Program (ACP) was established in 2021 and aims to position KSA as a leader in air connectivity.
With plans to develop and expand air routes, Saudi Arabia is a great location when it comes to international travel opportunities.
Engineer a better future in Saudi Arabia on your project management career path
The rapid growth and diversification in the KSA have led to a high demand for skilled project managers, translating into excellent career growth prospects across the region.
Cultural experiences, travel opportunities, and making a real difference with groundbreaking projects are among just a few of the reasons why you should bring your project management career to Saudi Arabia with AtkinsRéalis.
