Global EPC contractor for energy, water, and infrastructure projects
Alfanar Projects is a 10,000+ person EPC firm headquartered in Riyadh, executing landmark energy, water, and infrastructure projects across the Middle East, Asia, and beyond. The tech stack is industrial-grade (SAP, Siemens, ABB, AutoCAD) with no active migrations, signaling operational stability rather than transformation — hiring velocity is accelerating with a senior-heavy mix (19 of 28 open roles) concentrated in engineering, suggesting growth in project delivery capacity rather than organizational restructure. Pain points cluster around execution risk (cost estimation gaps, design risk, on-time delivery) and strategic alignment, typical of EPC firms scaling into new geographies.
Alfanar Projects develops and executes large-scale engineering, procurement, and construction projects in energy, water, infrastructure, and renewable sectors. The business serves government and state-owned enterprise clients across the Middle East, South Asia, and beyond, with a current portfolio spanning substations, high-voltage transmission lines, data centers, and hydrogen projects. Operating since 1976, the company employs over 10,000 people across six subsidiary entities (Alfanar Engineering Services, Steel Structures, Digital Solutions, Global Development, and Energía). Active hiring spans India, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, UAE, China, Jordan, and Qatar, reflecting a distributed delivery model typical of large EPC contractors managing concurrent multi-country projects.
Core tools include SAP (ERP), Siemens and ABB industrial controls, AutoCAD (design), Microsoft 365 (collaboration), and Intune/Active Directory (IT infrastructure). GPS and CCTV are deployed for site monitoring.
Current work includes substation and transmission line projects for Saudi Aramco, data center EPC delivery, portfolio governance model rollout, and cost-efficiency assessments of EHS systems across project sites.
