Civil trades cover the structure and the finish: formwork and reinforcement during the frame, then blockwork, plaster, tiling and paint as the building closes in. Scaffolding runs across all of it, because almost every other civil trade needs safe access before it can start.
16 documented trades
Direct answer
Gulf Orbit supplies 16 civil construction trades across Saudi Arabia, from scaffolders and steel fixers to masons, carpenters, painters and civil foremen, for construction, industrial and maintenance projects.
Gulf Orbit supplies TUV-carded scaffolders, with helpers and supervisors, to projects anywhere in Saudi Arabia. Card copies are sent with CVs for your approval before mobilization. Scaffolders erect, alter and dismantle access scaffolding so other trades can work safely at height.
What they do on site
Erect, modify and dismantle tube-and-fitting and system scaffolding
Build working platforms, stair towers and edge protection to the agreed scope
Hand over completed scaffolds for inspection and tagging before other trades use them
Dismantle and relocate access as the work front moves
Work to the client's permit-to-work and working-at-height requirements
Structure and frame · Facade and cladding · Shutdown and turnaround · Industrial maintenance
What to put in your RFQ: State the scaffold system (tube and fitting or system scaffold), the work type (building or industrial), the heights involved, and whether TUV or Aramco cards are required.
Runs the civil crew on the work front: allocates the day's work, checks it against the drawing, and is the point of contact between the supplied crew and the client's site engineer.
What they do on site
Allocate daily work to the civil crew and track progress against the programme
Check setting out, levels and finished work against drawings before it is covered up
Interface with the client's engineer on sequence, access and inspection points
Enforce site safety rules and permit requirements within the crew
Report attendance, progress and material shortfalls
What to put in your RFQ: State the element types (footings, slabs, walls, columns), the approximate tonnage or area, and whether benders are needed too.
General site workers with trade experience who handle preparation, assistance and secondary tasks across civil work fronts without being tied to one trade.
What they do on site
Support trade crews across multiple work fronts
Prepare work areas, materials and access before trades start
Carry out secondary civil tasks under a foreman's direction
Keep work areas clear and compliant with site housekeeping rules
Trade, headcount, site location, start date, duration and shift pattern. Anything you can add about site access and permit requirements shortens the next step.

Response within 24 hours
A complete RFQ gets a priced quotation, or an acknowledgement with any questions needed to price it. Responses run on working days, Sunday to Thursday.
3
Worker matching
Workers are matched to the trade and to the site conditions — industrial versus building work are not interchangeable, and we do not treat them as such.
4
Documentation and client approval
CVs, iqama and trade documentation, with TUV or Aramco card copies where the trade holds one, are submitted for your review. Nobody mobilizes before you approve the profiles.
5
Quotation and purchase order
Commercial terms are issued against the confirmed scope. A purchase order is required before mobilization.
6
Mobilization within 48–72 hours of the PO
In-Kingdom personnel travel to sites anywhere in Saudi Arabia, subject to worker documents and site approvals. Every worker completes Gulf Orbit's safety induction before deployment, and is briefed on your site's permit-to-work and access requirements.
7
Ongoing support
Attendance, replacement and scale-up handled through a single point of contact for the duration of the requirement.
Documentation supplied with every worker
Iqama, identification and trade documentation are available for client review before mobilization. Where a client requires a specific certification or a trade test before a worker is accepted on site, say so in the requirement and it will be addressed during matching rather than after arrival.
Send your manpower requirement
Trade, headcount, site location, start date and duration. The more detail you send, the more precise the response.
The published register lists 57 documented trades across civil construction, mechanical and electrical, and site and office staff, from scaffolders, welders and pipe fitters to crane operators, supervisors and HSE officers. Any mix can be requested in one RFQ.
Do your workers hold TUV cards or Aramco certification?+
TUV-carded workers are available for trades that require a TUV card. Aramco-certified and non-Aramco workers are both available. Card copies are sent with CVs for your approval before mobilization. TUV cards apply to trades such as scaffolders, riggers, crane operators and forklift operators. State in your RFQ which your site requires.
Which rigger level do you supply?+
Level III riggers, who sling loads and signal the crane. Level III is the rigger level Gulf Orbit supplies. State in your RFQ the lift type and any card the site requires.
Do you supply crane operators?+
Yes. Gulf Orbit has supplied operators for mobile cranes from 25 t to over 250 t (truck-mounted, rough-terrain and all-terrain). Tower crane operators are also on the register. State the crane type, capacity and any card the site requires.
