Drives light vehicles for crew transport, site errands and small material movements between accommodation, office and site.
Direct answer
Gulf Orbit supplies light vehicle drivers to projects anywhere in Saudi Arabia, for crew transport between accommodation and site on the shift schedule, site errands and small material collections. Drivers keep trip and mileage records and report vehicle defects. Vehicles and any transport arrangement are quoted on request.
A late pick-up does not delay one person; it delays a whole crew's start and their permits. Crew drivers work to the shift schedule, often with early starts, split runs to several camps, and pick-ups for night shifts. Share the shift times, the number of trips per shift and the distance between accommodation and site, so the number of drivers and relief cover matches the actual transport pattern.
Drivers need a valid Saudi driving licence for the vehicle class, and many industrial sites add their own requirements: a site driving permit, a defensive driving induction, or a vehicle inspection before entry. Inside the fence, speed limits, one-way routes and parking rules apply. State your site's driving requirements in the RFQ, so drivers are ready for them before the first gate.
Drivers are supplied as manpower. The vehicle is either provided by your project or, where you want transport arranged, quoted on request as a separate item, never assumed to be included. Say in the RFQ which arrangement you want, and the vehicle types, such as pick-ups, vans or small buses, so the drivers and any transport quotation match.
Trip logs, mileage and fuel records let you check transport costs and spot misuse. Daily checks of tyres, lights, fluids and seat belts keep vehicles safe and reduce breakdowns on crew runs. Agree the log format and the defect reporting route at the start, so the records are useful to your transport or admin team from the first week.
Light drivers usually report to a site administrator, transport coordinator or camp boss, who sets the runs against the shift schedule. On projects with several camps or shifts, a small pool of drivers covers the runs with relief for rest days. Heavy drivers handle bulk material, and forklift operators handle loading. Send the shift times, trips and distances, and the number of drivers is proposed.
Send how many workers you need for Light Driver, the city, the start date and the duration. CVs and documents for each worker come to you for approval, and nobody mobilizes before you approve them. See the full request process
It depends on the bus size. Larger buses may need a different licence class from light vehicles. State the vehicle type and seating capacity in the RFQ, so drivers with the right licence are put forward.

Yes. State the shift times and the number of runs per shift, so enough drivers and relief cover are planned for the full working day and night.
Yes. Site errands, document runs and small material collections are part of the role. List them with the crew transport so the driver's day is planned.
The licence copy comes with the CV for your approval. Compare it with the original on arrival and confirm the class covers your vehicle.
Mobilization of in-Kingdom personnel to project sites anywhere in Saudi Arabia takes 48–72 hours from purchase order (PO), subject to worker documents and site approvals.
