I am interested in working in Saudi and I have applied to Saudi Aramco several times, I haven't been successful at present but I am going to keep trying. I am trained in Technical/Process Hazards Analysis/Process Safety as a Scribe and Document Controller roles using SAP and I have had a lot of experience at Conoco Phillips/Jacobs and Tata Steel. I am working currently at the moment in the NHS in administration. I have also applied to Randstad In the Middle East and I am on Monster and various other job sites. I was just wondering what the life is like in Saudi and what to expect in terms of (relocation package -accommodation), work life culture outside of work and what is it like working for Saudi Aramco ? advantages and disadvantages/would I like it there? What is the recruitment process like? Do they like you to use "buzz" words on the application?

Are you male or female? Unless given Aramco camp accommodation, I really wouldn't fancy being a single female here. I believe Aramco have stopped new recruitment, so the number of vacancies to be filled is rapidly diminishing. The oil price has had a massive influence on all roles out here. Very few are recruiting, many are cutting back. Things to do out here... shop, eat, sleep, work, excerise if you have access to a ladies gym /pool. Great for family time. I suspect your greatest obstacle will be applying as a female, or with a degree/ equalivent experience they don't understand. If your dead set on Aramco, join their forum. More likely to get accurate responses there.

Firstly you are on the wrong forum try the KSA one, secondly as a Female it wouldn't be easy to find work there, thirdly Saudisation is huge in the Kingdom and finally oil and gas is taking a massive hit at present due to the price decline Good luck
