Hi all,
I hope this finds you all well and it's great to join this forum.
I am a Malaysian, currently residing in my native city of Kuala Lumpur.
I have accepted an offer from Saudi Aramco back in early September 2013 to join as International Media Relations Specialist II with Grade Code 12.
I am currently a Manager at my present company - Petronas, where I have served for close to 10 years.
The offer from Aramco is really good and I am really looking forward to start, pending issuance of my visa (at the moment Aramco Overseas Company London is still waiting for Riyadh to issue my visa block).
My question is :
1. As a Specialist, does the position fall under the middle management bracket or lower? What does the II means?
2. My job offer is under the Indefinite Employment Term Agreement. Is this an open ended employment contract which means I can work with Aramco for as long as I wish and for as long as Aramco wants me? Is there also an annual salary review based on merit and performance?
Some additional info - I will be relocating to Saudi Arabia on Bachelor Status as my wife and kids have opted to remain in Malaysia. Is it difficult for me to secure family visit visas for them?
I have been assigned housing in Abqaiq which means I will have to take a bus to Dhahran. What time is the last bus from Dhahran to Abqaiq (assuming there are days when I have to work late).
Thanking you in advance for the answers and support.
