Hi all have accepted a GC15 position with Aramco. Role is based in Dharam.
On accommodation, it's not specified in my contract that I will live on camp. Is this normal ie is on camp 1st come 1st serve. As my wife is a bit nervous about potentially living off camp, is it something to worry about (potentially being off camp). Many thanks

I would expect a GC 15 position would be on camp. I would also contact your advisor and ask them, as they know the answer. I would also insist that you be located on camp. You have some bargaining power before you arrive in kingdom.

There are plenty of empty houses in the camp. I believe everybody with grade 11 above will live in camp now.

The letter always says “on camp, if available”, I think just to cover themselves and left over from when camp was full. There is plenty of housing.

Many folk do and it’s not as hard as it used to be. Nope not jhah or subsidaries.. Thanks for the input Tamsin  I think the main concern offcamp is the driving 😅 |

There is plenty of housing in Dhahran. Did the recruiter give you explanation why? Unfortunately, it may be still some certain nationalities that on camp housing is not offered to. Which makes no sense or appears so discriminatory.
