OEC Saudi Arabia Jobs 2026: Advertisement 210 for Woodworking and Wood Painting Technicians, SAR 1,500 to 2,000, Apply by 14 November
OEC Advertisement 210 offers 2 Saudi jobs for woodworking and wood painting technicians at SAR 1,500 to 2,000 a month. Rs 1,000 fee, apply by 14 November 2026.
The Overseas Employment Corporation (OEC) has two Saudi Arabia jobs open under Advertisement No. 210: one Woodworking and Cabinetry Technician and one Wood Painting Technician, each paying SAR 1,500 to SAR 2,000 a month, for men aged 25 to 40, with applications closing on 14 November 2026. You apply on OEC's job portal after paying a Rs 1,000 fee against a PSID.
OEC is the government's own recruitment company under the Ministry of Overseas Pakistanis and Human Resource Development, so there is no private agent in the chain. The advert is dated 27 October 2026 and went up on OEC's site on 28 October. Below you will find the job details, the benefits the employer lists, how to apply, and the checks to finish before you fly. We read the OEC advertisement and OEC's job listing on 31 October 2026.
OEC wants 2 woodworkers for one Saudi employer
Advertisement No. 210 is for a single Saudi employer that OEC calls its client. It asks for one Woodworking and Cabinetry Technician and one Wood Painting Technician. Both posts need full practical experience, proven skills and experience that fits the employer's line of business.
| Job | Posts | Monthly salary | Age | Gender |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Woodworking and Cabinetry Technician | 1 | SAR 1,500 to SAR 2,000 | 25 to 40 | Male |
| Wood Painting Technician | 1 | SAR 1,500 to SAR 2,000 | 25 to 40 | Male |
The salary depends on experience and qualifications, the advert says. With only two posts, competition will be tight. Apply only if you have real workshop experience you can show, such as photos of finished cabinets or a letter from a past employer.
The employer lists housing, iqama, insurance and a ticket every 2 years
The advert sets out seven terms. The employer provides accommodation, the iqama (Saudi residence permit), medical insurance and transport. A return air ticket to Pakistan comes every two years. The contract runs for one year and can be renewed.
- Housing: accommodation provided.
- Iqama: legal residency provided under the applicable rules.
- Health: medical insurance provided.
- Transport: provided as the work requires.
- Tickets: round-trip air tickets to Pakistan every two years.
- Working week: six days, with one day off.
- Contract: one year, renewable by agreement.
Food is not mentioned in the advert, so plan for it out of your salary. Ask about it at interview. Saudi law also sets rules on hours and overtime, and the limits on working hours, overtime and rest days in Saudi Arabia apply to any contract you sign.
Apply on OEC's portal and pay Rs 1,000 against a PSID first
The advert says you apply through OEC's website and must generate a PSID, a payment slip ID, and pay the fee before you submit. OEC's job listing sets that fee at Rs 1,000 for each of the two jobs. Applications close on 14 November 2026.
- Open oec.gov.pk and find the Saudi Arabia advert for workers, then click to apply.
- Sign up or log in on the OEC job portal.
- Choose the job that matches your trade.
- Generate the PSID and pay the Rs 1,000 fee against it.

OEC has three other adverts open in November
OEC's announcement list shows other jobs open at the same time. If woodwork is not your trade, these may suit you. Each has its own deadline, and two close before this Saudi advert does.
| Advert | Closing date on OEC's list |
|---|---|
| Republic of Tajikistan, workers | 5 November 2026, 1 pm |
| Kingdom of Bahrain, skilled workers | 6 November 2026, 1 pm |
| Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, woodworkers (No. 210) | 14 November 2026 |
| Belarus, skilled workers | 15 November 2026 |
The details of the OEC Tajikistan garment jobs and the OEC Bahrain technician job are set out separately. We have not read the Belarus advert yet.
Finish the Saudi skill test, medical and protector before you fly
Selection is only the first step. A Saudi job from Pakistan can need a trade skill check, and it needs a Gulf medical and the protector stamp from the Bureau of Emigration. Start on them as soon as OEC confirms you, because each one takes days.
Saudi Arabia runs a professional skill verification for many trades, and the steps and fee for the Takamol Saudi skill test in Pakistan are worth knowing in advance. The protector stage also asks for a soft skills certificate, explained under the PakSoftSkills certificate before protector registration. Once you are in Saudi Arabia, your iqama number becomes your key document.

How we verified this
What we checked, where we read it, and what we could not confirm.
Last checked 31 October 2026. We read OEC's Advertisement No. 210 dated 27 October 2026, OEC's announcement list (which shows the advert posted on 28 October 2026) and the two job entries in OEC's job portal data on that date. The jobs, salary, age, benefits, helpdesk and closing date come from the advert. The Rs 1,000 fee comes from OEC's job data, not the advert. The advert does not name the employer or the city in Saudi Arabia, and we could not confirm either.
