For utilities, IPPs & power contractors
Falisha Manpower recruits power-sector engineers, technicians and crews from Pakistan, licensed by the Bureau of Emigration & Overseas Employment as Overseas Employment Promoter No. 4035. We work for utilities, independent power producers, EPC contractors building plants and grid infrastructure, and the O&M companies that run them, on requirements ranging from a single protection engineer to complete substation, transmission-line or solar-farm crews.
Power work divides along the system itself. Thermal and combined-cycle plants need mechanical, electrical and control staff who understand rotating machines and steam. Transmission and distribution need linemen, cable jointers and substation technicians who work to strict switching and isolation rules. Solar and wind projects need installation crews in volume, then small, multi-skilled O&M teams. This page follows that structure, with the hiring guides that apply to each part.
The employment relationship is yours: your contract, your visa and your safety rules. Our work is in Pakistan: finding candidates whose voltage levels and equipment match yours, verifying their records, coordinating the assessments you specify, and taking the people you select through attestation, medicals, visas and emigration clearance.
Where we recruit
From the power station to the substation and the solar farm, and the contractors who build and maintain them.
Gas-turbine, steam and combined-cycle plants, where mechanical, electrical and control staff keep turbines, boilers, generators and balance of plant running through operation and major overhauls.
High-voltage overhead lines, underground cables and grid substations, built and maintained by line crews, cable jointers, substation technicians and protection engineers.
Medium- and low-voltage networks, ring main units and service connections, where high-volume work by linemen and electricians is governed by the utility’s switching and safety procedures.
Utility-scale solar PV and wind projects: large installation crews during construction, then compact O&M teams for inverters, trackers, turbines and collector substations.
Contractors who build generation and grid assets, and the operation-and-maintenance companies that run them under long-term service agreements.
Workforce by asset type
Each employer guide covers the specialisations, standards and assessments for that role.
01
Steady teams that run and maintain generation plant: operators on shift, mechanical and electrical maintenance, and control-system specialists.
Employer hiring guides
02
Major inspections and overhauls bring in large temporary crews for a fixed outage window, planned the same way as a process-plant shutdown.

Before you request workers
Electrical work punishes loose definitions, so a precise brief protects both the project and the people on it.
Experience on an 11 kV distribution network does not prepare someone for switching at transmission voltages. Tell us the voltage levels, equipment types and manufacturers in use, and whether the role is construction, testing and commissioning, or operations.
High-voltage authorisation is normally issued by an employer under its own safety rules and does not travel with the worker. Previous authorisations show experience; your organisation decides what each person may switch, isolate or work on after arrival.
Construction needs volume for a defined period; O&M needs fewer, broader technicians who stay for years. Treat them as separate requirements with separate terms, even when both are for the same asset.
Wind technicians are commonly expected to hold GWO Basic Safety Training, and line crews may need climbing, rescue and first-aid training. Agree which must be in hand before departure and which are delivered on site.
Line, substation and solar crews work outdoors, and Gulf states restrict outdoor work in the hottest hours of summer, with exemptions largely limited to emergency and essential repairs. Shift patterns and crew sizes should allow for it.
Site entry & competence
Qualifications are issued by test bodies, training providers and regulators. We check what candidates hold and coordinate what your project still requires.
Engineering degrees, DAE electrical diplomas and trade certificates are checked, together with experience letters that state voltage levels, equipment and the work actually performed.
For Saudi-bound electrical staff, skill verification applies only to occupations Takamol has notified, with tests at NAVTTC-onboarded centres in Pakistan. Electrician, electrical technician, power line operator, power cable connector and instrumentation and control technician are on the approved list.
Projects following American practice often refer to NFPA 70E, the standard for electrical safety in the workplace, including arc-flash protection; others apply the utility’s own safety rules. We confirm which your site uses and include it in the assessment.
The Global Wind Organisation’s Basic Safety Training covers first aid, manual handling, fire awareness and working at heights, with sea survival for offshore work, and is delivered by GWO-certified training providers.
A power-sector engineer bound for Saudi Arabia needs Saudi Council of Engineers accreditation before practising, and the application rests on a Pakistani degree that has already been through HEC verification and Ministry of Foreign Affairs attestation.
Outdoor work in direct sun is restricted during the hottest summer hours across the Gulf: in 2026, 12:00–15:00 in Saudi Arabia and 12:30–15:00 in the UAE from 15 June to 15 September. In the UAE, emergency repairs and utilities are among the narrow exemptions.
How it works
Run for a single protection engineer or for full construction and O&M crews.
Asset type, voltage levels, equipment, roles, headcount and start dates, plus the certificates each role must hold before travel.
Candidates come from our recruitment database and from targeted searches among Pakistan’s generation, transmission and distribution workforce.
Degrees, diplomas, trade certificates, safety training and experience letters are checked, with particular attention to documented voltage levels and equipment.
We arrange technical interviews for engineers and practical tests for technicians and linemen, such as terminations, test procedures or safe isolation sequences, at a test facility or witnessed by your team.
Your engineers interview the assessed candidates and confirm selections; utility or client approval interviews are added where your contract requires them.
Saudi skill verification where the occupation is notified, degree attestation and engineer accreditation where needed, then the medical and work visa.
Protector of Emigrants clearance and travel in batches timed to construction milestones, outage dates or the start of an O&M contract.
Sourcing
Pakistan runs a national transmission network and a large generation and distribution sector regulated by NEPRA, so linemen, substation technicians and plant staff learn on working assets at home before they work abroad.
Electrical engineering degrees from PEC-accredited programmes, DAE electrical diplomas and vocational electrician courses produce a workforce from engineer to technician to lineman, and Takamol test centres in Pakistan cover the electrical trades Saudi Arabia has notified.
Saudi Arabia and the other Gulf states consistently rank among the leading destinations for Pakistani workers in Bureau of Emigration statistics, so many candidates already know outdoor work in Gulf summers and the site rules that come with it.
Subject to active employer demand and each destination’s visa and work-permit requirements.
