Construction Recruitment Agency in Riyadh
Marfa Overseas supplies certified Pakistani manpower for Riyadh’s construction sector — a capital that sits within genuine strategic reach of several of Saudi Arabia’s largest giga-projects at once.
Alongside overseas sourcing from Pakistan, we also provide local manpower already based in Riyadh, for employers who need staff without a visa or deployment timeline attached.
Unlike remote developments that struggle to attract and retain a workforce, Riyadh’s proximity to its surrounding giga-projects is a genuine talent-attraction advantage, and our Gujrat and Kharian sourcing base is positioned to serve this demand at scale.
The Giga-Projects Driving Riyadh’s Construction Demand
Diriyah Gate, employing roughly 110,000 workers on heritage restoration and mixed-use development, sits just fifteen minutes from central Riyadh — a proximity that solves the talent-attraction problem plaguing more remote sites like NEOM, and one reason it has emerged as one of the best-funded, most active giga-projects in the current PIF strategy cycle. Qiddiya, the entertainment and sports giga-project roughly forty-five minutes from the capital, currently runs at approximately 95,000 workers, with peak headcount projected at 145,000 by mid-2027 as its second phase of attractions enters fit-out. King Salman Park, a sixteen-square-kilometre central park development in Riyadh itself, employs a further 56,000 workers. Beyond these named giga-projects, Riyadh is also preparing for Expo 2030, generating additional construction and infrastructure demand, and city-wide initiatives including Riyadh Metro-linked development and the Green Riyadh programme add further steady demand beneath the giga-project headlines.
