Gulf Orbit supplies construction, MEP, scaffolding and site manpower to projects in Jeddah, from the 57 trades on its register. Crews are supplied from its offices in Dammam, Jubail and Al Khobar; there is no Jeddah office. Mobilization takes 48–72 hours from purchase order, subject to worker documents and site approvals, and complete RFQs get a response within 24 hours.
Jeddah is the largest construction market on the Red Sea coast: high-rise residential and commercial towers, hotels, waterfront and district redevelopment, hospitals, the port and the logistics zones around it, and the industrial areas south of the city. Much of the work is building and fit-out rather than heavy plant, so the trade mix leans towards civil, finishing and MEP crews, with scaffolders for facades and structures.
A Jeddah building project moves through distinct crews: steel fixers, shuttering carpenters and masons on the structure; scaffolders on the facade; then electricians, plumbers, duct and AC technicians, gypsum carpenters, tile fixers and painters as the floors close in. Send the programme by stage, not one total headcount, so each trade is proposed for the weeks it is needed and the crew changes as the building does.
Gulf Orbit's offices are in Dammam, Jubail Industrial City and Al Khobar, so a Jeddah crew travels across the Kingdom. Mobilization still takes 48–72 hours from purchase order for in-Kingdom personnel, subject to worker documents and site approvals. Accommodation and daily transport are quoted on request. For a crew larger than a few workers, include a foreman or supervisor who stays on site as your day-to-day contact.
Jeddah's port, warehouses and industrial areas need a different mix from the towers: riggers, forklift and crane operators, mechanical fitters, welders and industrial electricians for maintenance and installation work. State whether the site is inside a port or customs area, since gate passes there have their own lead times, and list any card requirements per trade so copies can be sent with the CVs.
Jeddah is hot and humid for much of the year, and outdoor work stops for the midday break in summer. On towers and waterfront sites, crews often work early and late shifts to keep output up. Share the site's working hours and shift pattern in the RFQ, so headcount is planned for the hours that can actually be worked.

Yes. Riggers, forklift and crane operators, mechanical fitters, welders and industrial electricians are on the register. State the area and its gate-pass requirements in the RFQ.
TUV-carded workers are available for trades that require a TUV card, such as scaffolders, riggers and equipment operators. Card copies are sent with CVs for your approval before mobilization.
