Guide

About this saudi arabia cv template

Saudi employers and recruitment agencies want to know quickly whether they can hire you legally and fast. That means your Iqama status (inside Saudi Arabia and transferable, or outside the Kingdom), membership of the right professional body (the Saudi Council of Engineers for engineers, SCFHS for health workers), your notice period and whether your degree is attested. A photo is still expected. This template puts all of that in a panel under your name. The sample is a civil site engineer in Riyadh.

Tips for Saudi job applications

State your Iqama status

A transferable Iqama means a faster, cheaper hire. If you are outside the Kingdom, say so plainly.

Register early

Engineers need Saudi Council of Engineers (SCE) accreditation and health workers need SCFHS. Mention your number or progress.

Attest your degree

Work visas need an attested degree (home country, MOFA and the Saudi embassy). Say if yours is done.

Show Vision 2030 projects

Experience on giga-projects or large government contracts is valued. Name the project type if you can.
