Runs day-to-day execution across several trade crews on a work front, sitting between the trade foremen and the supervisor.
Direct answer
Gulf Orbit supplies general foremen across Saudi Arabia to run multi-trade work fronts on construction and industrial projects, sequencing crews and reporting daily progress to site supervision.
Most lost time on a multi-trade front is not any single crew working slowly. It is one trade waiting on another, or two trades in the same space at the same time. A general foreman exists to resolve that in the moment rather than at the weekly meeting.
One work front with two or three trades usually needs a general foreman and can share supervision. Several fronts running at once need both: a supervisor holding the plan and the client interface, and a general foreman on each front turning it into a day's work.
Trade, headcount, site location, start date, duration and shift pattern. Anything you can add about site access and permit requirements shortens the next step.
We confirm what is available against your dates and flag anything in the scope that will affect mobilization.
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.
Iqama, identification and trade documentation are submitted for your review. Nobody mobilizes before you approve the profiles.
Commercial terms are issued against the confirmed scope. A purchase order is required before mobilization.
Workers are briefed on your site induction, permit-to-work and access requirements before they start.
Attendance, replacement and scale-up handled through a single point of contact for the duration of the requirement.
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.
A trade foreman runs one trade. A general foreman runs several trades sharing a work front and is responsible for how they sequence against each other.
Sometimes, if the fronts are close together and the trades are simple. Send the site layout and the crew shape can be proposed against it.
