The Challenge
Offshore fabrication yard in Dammam needed to scale welding capacity by 60% within 90 days to meet deadline for jacket fabrication contract with a major oil & gas operator. Local labor market shortage, strict ASME IX/AWS D1.1 certification requirements, and tight project timeline. Previous recruitment agency delivered under-skilled workers (40% failed qualification tests).
