You have to get your certificate attested...No other solution as you cannot go down on your profession

I know one HR department who did the following to a similar matter.

- They asked the employee to register in Saudi Engineering Council (SEC).
- SEC rejected his application saying that his certificate was not attested.
- Based on this rejection, The HR dept. asked Jawazat to issue a non-Engineer profession Iqama.
