About Almarai in Saudi Arabia

Founded in 1977, Almarai has grown from a dairy business into a full food group producing fresh milk, laban, yoghurt, cheese, juices, bakery products (under brands such as L’usine and 7 Days), poultry (Alyoum) and more. It runs its own farms, feed operations, processing plants and one of the largest cold-chain distribution networks in the Middle East.

Because products are fresh and chilled, Almarai needs a large, round-the-clock workforce for production, loading and delivery. This is why driver, warehouse and factory roles are the most common openings for foreign workers.

Can Indians and Other Foreign Workers Apply?

Yes. Almarai employs a large expatriate workforce in driving, warehouse, production, maintenance and farm roles. A job offer is not a visa – Almarai must issue your Saudi work visa and arrange your iqama through Qiwa after you arrive. Do not assume sponsorship unless it is stated in your offer letter.

Saudization rules mean office, HR, administration and many sales roles are increasingly reserved for Saudi nationals. Driver and technician roles remain more open to foreigners, but drivers must obtain a Saudi driving licence, usually by converting their home licence or passing tests after arrival, as arranged with the employer.
