Gulf Orbit

Site Management & Support

Supervision, survey, plant operation and camp support are what let a supplied crew actually function. A crew without a foreman, a storekeeper or transport is a crew the client ends up managing themselves — which is rarely what they wanted when they raised the requirement.

How to request this trade

  1. 1

    Send the requirement

    Trade, headcount, site location, start date, duration and shift pattern. Anything you can add about site access and permit requirements shortens the next step.

  2. 2

    Requirement review

    We confirm what is available against your dates and flag anything in the scope that will affect mobilization.

  3. 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. 4

    Documentation and client approval

    Iqama, identification and trade documentation are submitted for your review. Nobody mobilizes before you approve the profiles.

  5. 5

    Quotation and purchase order

    Commercial terms are issued against the confirmed scope. A purchase order is required before mobilization.

  6. 6

    Mobilization and site induction

    Workers are briefed on your site induction, permit-to-work and access requirements before they start.

  7. 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.
