FalishaManpower

For engineering firms, contractors & manufacturers

Engineering manpower from Pakistan, from design office to plant floor

Falisha Manpower is an engineering recruitment agency in Pakistan, licensed by the Bureau of Emigration & Overseas Employment as Overseas Employment Promoter No. 4035. We recruit for engineering businesses rather than isolated vacancies: consultancies that need design and site engineers, EPC contractors building plants and infrastructure, manufacturers running production lines and machine shops, and operators maintaining what has been built.

An engineering business depends on more than its engineers. Behind each discipline engineer sit the technicians who install and commission, the inspectors who sign off quality, and the tradespeople who fabricate, weld and wire. This page follows a project from design through fabrication, construction and commissioning into operation, and links each stage to the hiring guides for the people it needs. If you are hiring engineers as individual professionals, our engineers hiring guide goes deeper into disciplines, registration and attestation.

Engineers and technicians are employed by you, under your contract and visa. Our part is in Pakistan: sourcing, verifying degrees, registrations and experience, arranging technical interviews and practical assessments to your specification, and taking the people you select through attestation, medicals, visas and emigration clearance.

Where we recruit

The engineering businesses we recruit for

Consultancies, contractors, manufacturers and the operators who run what they build.

  1. 01

    Engineering consultancies

    Design, supervision and project-management firms that need discipline engineers, draughtsmen and BIM modellers, and resident engineers and inspectors for site supervision.

  2. 02

    EPC and construction contractors

    Contractors delivering plants, buildings and infrastructure, who need site, planning, QA/QC and HSE engineers alongside the technicians and trades that execute the work.

  3. 03

    Fabrication and manufacturing

    Steel fabrication yards, equipment manufacturers, machine shops and production plants, where engineering sits beside welders, fitters, CNC operators and quality control.

  4. 04

    Operations, maintenance and asset integrity

    Plant owners and O&M contractors in oil and gas, power, water and industry who keep assets running through planned maintenance, inspection campaigns and shutdowns.

  5. 05

    Building services and facilities engineering

    MEP contractors and facilities-management companies maintaining HVAC, electrical and plumbing systems in hospitals, malls, airports and campuses.

Workforce across the project life cycle

From design office to operating asset

Each employer guide covers the specialisations, standards and assessments for that discipline or trade.

Stage 01

Design & engineering

Concept, detailed design and design review. Discipline engineers are judged on the codes and software they work in, and on whether they have designed the type of facility you build.

Stage 02

Procurement & fabrication

Vendor inspection, shop fabrication and machining, where weld procedures, material traceability and dimensional checks decide whether equipment arrives fit to install.

Stage 03

Construction & installation

Civil, structural, piping, electrical and mechanical scopes executed on site, where engineering intent is turned into finished work by supervised crews.

Stage 04

Testing & commissioning

Pre-commissioning checks, loop tests, energisation and performance runs: a small, experienced team that carries a great deal of risk in a short time.

Stage 05

Operations & maintenance

Planned and breakdown maintenance on rotating, static and electrical equipment, carried out by technicians who stay with the asset for years.

Stage 06

Shutdowns, inspection & integrity

Periodic outages and inspection campaigns that bring in large temporary crews and certified inspectors for a fixed window.

Before you request workers

Decisions that make an engineering hire work

Engineering hires fail on a mismatched stage, code or authority far more often than on raw ability.

  1. 01

    Engineer, technologist or technician?

    A PEC-registered engineer, a B.Tech engineering technologist and a DAE technician have different training and, in some destinations, different registration routes. Decide which the role needs, and which the visa occupation allows, before shortlisting begins.

  2. 02

    Hire for the stage of the project

    Design-office experience does not turn into commissioning experience, and a maintenance engineer who has kept one plant running for years thinks differently from a project engineer who moves on at handover. Tell us the stage and how long the role lasts, and candidates are judged against that.

  3. 03

    Name the codes, standards and software

    ASME, API, IEC, BS EN or your client’s own standards; AutoCAD, Revit, Primavera, a CMMS or a particular control system. List the ones that matter on your project so they are covered in the technical interview rather than taken from the CV.

  4. 04

    Plan registration and attestation time

    Degree verification and attestation in Pakistan come first, then destination registration such as Saudi Council of Engineers accreditation. These steps often take longer than finding the person, so they start as soon as a candidate is selected.

  5. 05

    Recruit the team, not just the lead

    Recruiting engineers, inspectors and technicians in one campaign keeps interviews, assessments and paperwork on one schedule and makes it easier to balance experience across the team you are building.

Site entry & competence

What workers must evidence before they reach site

Qualifications are issued by test bodies, training providers and regulators. We check what candidates hold and coordinate what your project still requires.

Degree verification and attestation

Pakistani degrees are verified by the Higher Education Commission and attested by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and some destinations add an embassy step. We collect the documents and track each stage for every selected candidate.

PEC registration and the Washington Accord

Engineers in Pakistan register with the Pakistan Engineering Council. Pakistan has been a full Washington Accord signatory since 2017, so PEC-accredited degree programmes are recognised by the other signatories.

Saudi Council of Engineers accreditation

Under Saudi Arabia’s Engineering Professions Practice Law, engineering may not be practised without accreditation from the Saudi Council of Engineers, and knowingly employing an unaccredited practitioner is penalised.

Qatar engineering registration

Qatar’s Law No. 19 of 2005 on the engineering professions requires engineers to be entered in the country’s register of engineers before practising, so registration belongs in the mobilisation plan for Qatar-bound engineers.

Inspector certifications

Inspection roles rest on personal certificates such as CSWIP, AWS CWI, API inspector programmes or NDT levels. Each is checked with the body that issued it wherever a verification route exists.

Saudi skill verification for technicians

Mandatory only for occupations Takamol has notified; NAVTTC onboards the test centres in Pakistan. Its approved list includes instrumentation and control technician, electrical technician, mechanical technician, HVAC mechanic and welding trades.

How it works

From crew plan to mobilisation

The same process for a single specialist or a full multi-discipline team.

Send us your requirement
  1. 01

    Role and specification review

    For each role we agree the discipline, level, project stage, codes and software, and the registration it will need at destination.

  2. 02

    Targeted search

    Candidates are drawn from our recruitment database and engineering networks in Pakistan, with direct search for senior or niche specialists who are not actively looking.

  3. 03

    Credential verification

    Degrees, PEC registration, inspector certificates and experience letters are checked with the issuing bodies wherever a verification route exists.

  4. 04

    Technical assessment

    We arrange technical interviews led by your engineers, and design exercises, drawing reviews or practical tests for technicians, matched to each role.

  5. 05

    Selection and client approval

    Your panel interviews the assessed shortlist and selects. Where your contract requires client approval of key personnel, those interviews are scheduled too.

  6. 06

    Attestation, registration and visa

    Degree attestation starts on selection, followed by destination registration such as SCE accreditation, the medical and the work visa.

  7. 07

    Mobilisation

    Protector of Emigrants clearance and travel timed to your project start, with replacements sourced if a selected candidate drops out.

Sourcing

Why recruit engineering workers from Pakistan

Qualifications that can be traced

PEC accredits engineering degree programmes and Pakistan is a full Washington Accord signatory, so the qualification behind an engineering CV can be traced to an accredited programme rather than taken on trust.

Engineering done in English

Engineering is taught and documented in English in Pakistan, so drawings, method statements, inspection reports and correspondence come in the language your clients and consultants use.

Every level of the technical ladder

Engineering degrees, three-year DAE diplomas and national vocational qualifications produce a workforce at every level from engineer to technician to tradesperson, which is what a multi-discipline team needs to recruit from one source.

Recruitment for employers in

Subject to active employer demand and each destination’s visa and work-permit requirements.
