Good news for skilled Pakistani workers eyeing the Gulf: the OEC Saudi Arabia Jobs 2026 advertisement is out, and this one is refreshingly straightforward. The Overseas Employment Corporation (OEC) — Pakistan’s own government recruiter, working under the Ministry of Overseas Pakistanis and Human Resource Development — has announced Advertisement No. 210, dated 8 October 2026, seeking Pakistani skilled workers for employment in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
There are just two technical roles on offer, but they come with a clean deal: 1,800 SAR salary, free accommodation, transportation and medical insurance, a one-year contract, and deployment expected between October and November 2026. No middlemen, no private agents, no “registration fees” to shadowy recruiters — everything goes through the official OEC portal.

Vacancies in OEC Saudi Arabia Jobs 2026
Advertisement No. 210 — the basis of these OEC Saudi Arabia Jobs 2026 — covers two technical trades. Both carry the same salary package and the same terms, so your choice comes down to which trade you are qualified for.
1. HVAC Technician – 4 Posts
- Number of Posts: 4
- Salary: 1,800 SAR per month
- Education: Diploma related to air conditioning or mechanics
- Experience: Minimum 3 years
- Age: 22–40 years
- Gender: Male
- Language: Knowledge of English preferred
If you have worked on split units, chillers, AHUs or central air-conditioning systems in Pakistan or the Gulf, this OEC Saudi Arabia Jobs 2026 post is aimed squarely at you. The official announcement stresses a diploma in air conditioning or a mechanics-related trade — experience alone is not listed as a substitute, so make sure your qualification matches before applying.
2. Mechanical Maintenance Technician – 2 Posts
- Number of Posts: 2
- Education: Diploma, high school, or vocational institute certificate specialized in pumps
- Experience: Minimum 3 years
- Age: 22–40 years
- Gender: Male
- Language: Knowledge of English preferred
This one is for the pump specialists — industrial pumps and their mechanical maintenance. A vocational certificate specifically in pumps is accepted alongside diplomas.
Eligibility & Requirements
The official announcement keeps eligibility deliberately simple, which is one of the attractive things about this ad:
- Must be a Pakistani national holding a valid CNIC.
- Education and experience exactly as listed against each post above.
- Male candidates only for both posts.
- Basic knowledge of English is preferred (not mandatory).
- Applicants must apply online through the official OEC portal — walk-in, courier, or email applications are not accepted.
- Candidates must generate a PSID (Payment Slip ID) through the OEC online portal and make the prescribed payment before submitting the application. The exact fee amount is not specified in the official source.
Age, Experience & Contract Terms
Both posts in these OEC Saudi Arabia Jobs 2026 share the same age bracket: 22 to 40 years. Each post requires a minimum of 3 years of relevant experience in the respective trade. The employment contract is for one year, and the official announcement expects deployment (joining) between October and November 2026, so the timeline from application to travel is tight — shortlisted candidates should keep their documents and passport ready.
Working hours and duty arrangements are listed as “to be confirmed,” which is standard for OEC ads at the announcement stage; the final offer letter and protector process will pin these down. The confirmed benefits are worth noting: accommodation, transportation, and medical insurance are all provided by the company — these are the three costs that usually eat into an overseas worker’s salary, so having them covered makes the 1,800 SAR package meaningfully better.
Application Process & Required Documents
Applying for these OEC Saudi Arabia Jobs 2026 happens entirely online. Follow these steps exactly as laid out in the official announcement:
- Visit the OEC portal — go to the official OEC website (oec.gov.pk) and use the online jobs portal (jobs.oec.gov.pk). Do not apply through any third-party site.
- Register / log in with your CNIC and complete your profile.
- Generate a PSID (Payment Slip ID) through the OEC online portal and pay the prescribed fee before submitting your application. (Fee amount: not specified in the official source.)
- Select Advertisement No. 210, choose your post (HVAC Technician or Mechanical Maintenance Technician), and fill in your details carefully — qualification, experience, and CNIC details must be accurate, as incorrect information leads to rejection.
- Submit before the deadline — the portal closes on 20 October 2026. Apply early; portal traffic always spikes in the last two days.
Documents you should have scanned and ready: CNIC, passport, recent photograph, educational certificates/diploma, and experience letters or certificates. OEC also strongly advises getting your Protector of Emigrants verified before traveling — that separate guide walks you through the whole protector process.
One warning that bears repeating: never pay anyone who promises selection. OEC is a government body; it charges only its official processing fee through the PSID system. No private agent or middleman has any role in this recruitment. Similar openings are also covered in our guides on the recent Kuwait mechanical helper recruitment through OEC and the Bahrain security guard openings through OEC.
Deadline – OEC Saudi Arabia Jobs 2026
The official announcement for OEC Saudi Arabia Jobs 2026 is unambiguous: the last date to apply is 20 October 2026. The PSID payment must be completed before you submit, so build in at least a day of margin — generate the slip and pay first, then finalize the application. Late or incomplete applications will not be entertained.
