General office support: document runs, refreshments, office upkeep and errands between site offices.
Direct answer
Gulf Orbit supplies office assistants to project and site offices anywhere in Saudi Arabia for general office support: delivering documents between offices, the site and the consultant, maintaining office supplies and upkeep, supporting meetings and visitors, and running errands as directed by the office team.
A site office runs on small tasks that nobody else has time for: carrying signed documents to the consultant, collecting stamped drawings, restocking stationery and water, setting up the meeting room, and receiving visitors at the site office. An office assistant frees engineers and secretaries from those tasks. List the daily tasks you expect, so the person matched is comfortable with the mix.
A site office assistant works in cabins or temporary offices, often walking between site, stores and gate, and follows site safety rules like everyone else on the project. A head office assistant works in a permanent office with more reception and filing work. The habits differ. State where the assistant will be based and how much time is spent on site, so the match reflects it.
Many document runs are by car: to the consultant's office, the client, government offices or couriers. If the assistant will drive, they need a valid Saudi driving licence for the vehicle, and the vehicle arrangement has to be agreed, either provided by your project or quoted on request. Say in the RFQ whether driving is part of the role, so the licence is checked before approval.
Site offices receive clients, consultants, inspectors and suppliers every week. The office assistant prepares meeting rooms, arranges refreshments, guides visitors to the right person and makes sure visitors complete the site induction or sign-in your site requires. Brief the assistant on your visitor procedure on day one, because they are often the first person visitors meet.
An office assistant usually works for the office secretary or site administrator, supporting the whole site office team. On larger projects, one assistant may cover several cabins or offices, or a second assistant may handle driving and document runs. Send the size of the office and the tasks, and the support is proposed with the rest of the office team.
