Hire Engineers from Pakistanfor Overseas Projects and Operations

Falisha Manpower recruits civil, mechanical, electrical and specialist engineers from Pakistan for contractors, consultants, operators and manufacturers abroad — from a single specialist to a complete project engineering team. We are a BEOE-licensed Overseas Employment Promoter (OEP Licence No. 4035).

Hiring an engineer is different from hiring a tradesperson. The degree has to be verified and attested, professional registration and destination accreditation have to be planned for, and competence is judged on project history, codes and software rather than a practical trade test. This page explains how we handle each of those steps, and how to brief us so that the shortlist fits the work.

You set the discipline, role type and seniority, and your own engineers run the technical interviews. We source, screen, coordinate, document and mobilise.

Before you hire

What makes engineer recruitment different

The degree has to be verified and attested

For overseas employment, Pakistani engineering degrees are normally verified by the Higher Education Commission (HEC) and then attested by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA). Some destinations add their own embassy attestation. This takes time, so it starts as soon as a candidate is selected.

Registration and accreditation are separate steps

Engineers in Pakistan register with the Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC). Destinations can add their own requirement — under Saudi Arabia’s Engineering Professions Practice Law, for example, engineering may not be practised without accreditation from the Saudi Council of Engineers. Plan the time it takes into the mobilisation schedule.

Check that the degree is the right kind

A BSc or BE from a PEC-accredited programme leads to PEC registration; B.Tech and DAE holders are technologists and technicians. Pakistan has been a full signatory of the Washington Accord since 2017, so PEC-accredited programmes are recognised by other signatories — which is why we check accreditation of the programme, not just the degree title.

Discipline is not enough — the role type matters

A design engineer, a site engineer, a maintenance engineer and a project engineer in the same discipline do very different work. Specify the role type and the project stage, not only “mechanical” or “civil”.

Experience is judged by project type

Five years on residential towers and five years on a refinery shutdown are not interchangeable. We screen experience against the industry, project scale and scope you describe.

Codes and software are part of the competence

Engineers are expected to work to the codes your project uses and in the software your teams run. These are tested in the technical interview rather than taken from the CV.

  • Seniority and minimum years of relevant experience
  • Industry and project type (e.g. high-rise, infrastructure, oil and gas, power, HVAC)
  • Codes and standards the engineer must work to
  • Software the role requires
  • Degree level and any preferred universities or accreditation
  • Registration or destination accreditation requirements
  • Language, report-writing and client-facing expectations
  • Interview format and who sits on the panel
  • Package, contract type and duration
  • Required joining date

Assessment

How engineers are assessed

Project-portfolio review

We review each engineer’s project history — scope, scale, role and responsibilities — against the work you described, before shortlisting.

Technical interview with your panel

Your engineers interview the shortlist by video, in person, or during a recruitment visit to Pakistan. We coordinate scheduling and the format you choose.

Discipline exercise or case discussion

Where you want it, candidates complete a short technical exercise or talk through a design or site problem relevant to your project.

Software check

For roles that depend on specific software, a practical check of the candidate’s working competence can be arranged.

Document and reference verification

Degrees, transcripts, PEC registration and experience letters are checked, and references can be taken with the candidate’s consent.
