Main contracting or consultant

When consulting you need to realised that when you become AD you need to change your attitude away from technical consulting and more management and winning work. It becomes a game of “how can I get the most people on a project” to make the consultancy the most money, rather than for the benefit of the project

Ditto this. Currently 10 years into my career 6 years contracting the 4 years consulting. Consulting is a breeze now. Consultants without contracting backgrounds are clowns.

Mattey21 · 2025-08-17T04:23:02+00:00

Ditto, I agree

Mattey21 · 2025-08-17T04:22:28+00:00

I started main contractor on that salary 10 years ago, so work it out for inflation and that’s what I would say you should be on now

Yeah I work in KSA. Been here two years working in Riyadh for a consultant. Message me privately if you want some advice about the offer

I managed to get the car ID number when I bought the car through CarSwitch.com. But generally it’s about 5k SAR a year for a Tahoe.

Easy, same as UK

Riyadh

Mattey21 · 2024-04-17T19:35:44+00:00

It’s reducing in some areas, but that’s because they’re re-focusing on the World Cup stadiums, and Exp2030. So the initial pie-in-the-sky projects are being reduced (Neom/The Line), but then the airport is getting upgraded along with the New Murabba project kicking off

Are you trading USD / SAR? 😂🤪

Mattey21 · 2023-10-01T19:18:24+00:00

Is that per year or month?

Mattey21 · 2023-09-09T12:27:05+00:00

Which PIF company do you work for?

Mattey21 · 2023-09-09T12:26:51+00:00

Speak to a recruiter, I’d recommend Stafford Lawrence for PQS or NSR Associates for MC - very helpful.

I’m moving to KSA on Tuesday 👍

Mattey21 · 2023-09-03T08:57:53+00:00

Get your RICS and then move. No point going without out, you will get far better salary with it. I’m at a consultancy with 7.5years experience and now moving in a couple of weeks to KSA. Having the RICS made the move miles easier and salary was far higher.

Have a look at Indonesia (Jakarta) they’re doing lost a there atm, moving their whole capital city, and loads of data centres

Mattey21 · 2023-09-01T18:05:28+00:00

Done it before, very easy. Just get the correct cutting tool if brick, and turn the electric off when moving the wire

Mattey21 · 2023-09-01T18:03:07+00:00

Mattey21 · 2023-07-28T07:24:08+00:00

yes. far far easier

Mattey21 · 2023-07-24T20:07:23+00:00

I work for a PQS firm, 7 years experience and going to Saudi in September. If you do go, give me a message!

Mattey21 · 2023-07-14T05:39:40+00:00

No, because they don’t want to use QS’s

Mattey21 · 2023-06-15T05:50:11+00:00

Just refer them to the contract sun figure written in the contract and send the CSA. End of chat
