Construction Firm Moves Into Saudi Arabia
An Irish construction firm has announced a new strategic alliance with Saudi Arabian construction giant El Seif Engineering company.
Under the alliance, John Sisk & Son will collaborate with El Seif on a the prestigious new Sabic Plastics Application Development Centre which forms part of the Riyadh Techno Valley (RTV) Development at King Saud University.
The announcement was made in Saudi Arabia during the Enterprise Ireland trade mission led by the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation Richard Bruton.
John Sisk & Son have been working with El Seif in Saudi Arabia for almost a year. Under this latest collaboration Sisk will second a number of staff to the project including a project manager, package managers, construction managers and quantity surveyors.
Paul Hackett MD of John Sisk & Son Middle East said: "Our partnership with El Seif has been highly beneficial to date and we believe that Sisk are well placed to develop our interests in the Middle East.
"With the scale of the projects currently underway in Riyadh we see great opportunities for our staff to develop their careers working alongside a progressive company like El-Seif Engineering Co. Advances in construction methods made during the Celtic Tiger are highly applicable in Saudi Arabia's current construction boom which will see around $400bn spent over the next four to six years.
"The potential for both Sisk and El Seif is substantial and we are hopeful that the relationship will develop and prosper over the coming months and years."
