Changed to..... www.jobsataramco.com

They also advertise on www.climbto350.com whenever its required.

I guess that i will go the full 9 yards and save you the bother of checking the website..... they are only advertising for this position.

Good company from what i've heard they pay well if your an ex pat and have some good hardwear to cruise about in with the only downer being most of the flying is within kingdom. They also employ from all corners of the world. I tryed to go through Aramco in the states and had no joy so called them in Dammam and had much better luck. Don't have the number with me, sorry. They have a new C.P these days and he's a local but a very nice guy.

Thumbs down I strongly recommend against it

Don't do it. You will be sorry. You cannot consider it a career move. The money is compelling, but it will not make up for the sacrifices and isolation and racism and restrictions and dirtiness and disappointment and desperation and frustration and unhappiness that would soon take over your life. Read each of those words again and think about them. The company is a total mess, none of the pilot-type professional lifestyle perks exist, and still it's getting worse every week. Don't do it for any price. It will ruin your life more than you can imagine. No hesitation: Just say no.

Fructose,

Is that based on personal experience or hearsay?

I have a number of ex-colleagues flying there who actually enjoy the job.

Think it depends a lot on if you are a "consultant" (two year contractor) or a full time employee (university degree required)....have friends on both sides...two very different situations...but both are content.

I too have several friends there employed as 'consultants' and they say their deal sucks compared with what the permanent guys get, despite the fact that the 'consultants' do all the flying and the permanents do all the golfing.
The money as a 'consultant' is not that wonderful and if that's what you've been offered you'd get around the same pay, better flying and a much better quality of life with either Gulf Helicopters or Abu Dhabi Aviation. Several guys who left the Emirates returned after only a short time with Saudi Aramco.

Saudi Aramco

Does anyone have any insight into the aviation division of Saudi Aramco? Especially the cabin services aspect ie. how many crew currently in Saudi?, key cabin services personnel, opportunities etc.

Feel free to PM me and thanks in advance,


Regards,

Saudi Aramco

Hi c3000

Best thing to do is ring the recruitment department direct and ask to speak to a Mr Gerry Fitzgerald he will be able to tell you if there are any opportunities going. You can go to the website however the employment section is still under construction.

All the aircraft are 737 and basically used for all the head honchos over there. Hope this helps.

Are you sure??? Always thought that the DC8 and Gulfstreams were for the "head honchos", the B737's are in a normal passenger configuration and operate a shuttle service around Saudi for employees.

c3000, if by cabin services your are talking about working down the back, i think that you would be better off looking at their VIP operations and not the B737's. Different contract and i believe totally different benefit packages..

Saudi Aramco - pay & conditions?

Gidday all

Can anyone enlighten me on the pay package, t&c's at Saudi Aramco?

Would also be interested in anyone's opinion on how secure the jobs are, and what the general feeling is towards expats in the current political climate ... chances of making it out alive and all that?

[edited to say, this is a query about fixed wing flying not rotary, I believe they're looking for DHC8 and B737 crew at present]
