Dear Friends,

Profession change to engineers is open. Just now I have my HR has requested on the MOL website. You will have to provide attachments, which includes certificates and letter from Saudi Engineers Council.

Ameen1993

Certificate and ID card will be couriered to you once you request on sce website and pay a fees of 50 SAR.
Request letter to mol will be provided once you visit their office, once they prepare the request letter. It will be updated to mol in 1 week according to sce. After that you may request for profession change online.

Shariff.Tarique

So since I have my temporary membership now, I need to visit SCE for the letter for mol.

After which I will have to proceed for online profession change. And then request for id and certificate?

Am I correct in understanding it?

Thanks

No, your membership is valid even now. You can request certificate even now.
For letter, you go to visit their office.

Then change profession from mol by hr.

Thank you to all.

Does anyone know if the company is not green, and it is in red state, how to change the profession?

Does anyone has any experience in this situation?
Thanks.

I think this is part of a long term filtering of foreigners from the work force.

There are many foreigners that are in saudi working as engineers but with a different profession in the icama. At the end of the day, they are still doing engineering and supervision work.

Now, as part of saudization, engineering positions shall be only to Saudi Employees.

So, it is a good move by the government, to everyone who is an engineer to correct your icama, then in 2019 they will not renew icama for foreigners with profession engineer and you will be on exit.
All foreign engineers will be know on the system.

These jobs must be for saudis.

The company must hire a saudi and this position is for a saudi.

do you understand the point ?

don't rush to change your profession. who cares what is says on your icama.

They are lots of young intelligent saudi engineers entering the work force. 1000s have come home from abroad after excellent training abroad.
if i was Saudi Arabia, i would do the same thing.

And Saudi is on its way to being a really advanced Country and the world can not just play dumb and ignore it. Fact is fact.

Saudi is a great country.

Hello Brother,

I wanted to change my profession to engineer. My profession in iqama is building technician and I have been registered in SCE as building technician even though after providing my attested engineering degree certificate to my employer, this was one year before. Now the profession change has opened again, one month ago  i had given my original certificate to my HR, he had sent it to GRO who sits in our head office. when i follow-up with our HR, he is saying that it is understudy in ministry of labour. However, when i spoke to call center executive of MOL by dialing 19911, they are saying that they've not received any request of mine for the change of profession.

It is bewildering to me, whom to approach and get this sorted out.

Could you please throw some light on your experience of changing a profession in iqama to engineer.

Your valuable inputs to my above dilemma is much appreciated.

Thanking you

Profession change to engineer is possible if the applicant is registered with the Saudi Council of Engineers. Because once the HR submits the request, it gets approved only once the Saudi Council of Engineers confirms that the applicant is registered with them. Then the profession gets changed to Engineer.
Once updated in the Ministry of Labor, the applicant can request online via SCE to update their information in the Jawazaat by paying SAR 100.
