Overview of the new salary scale

The Saudi Arabian government has just rolled out an exciting new salary scale for engineers, effective December 31, 2024.

This move is set to revitalize the engineering sector, creating a more dynamic and rewarding environment for professionals across government agencies.

Approval by the Saudi Cabinet

The new salary structure was approved by the Saudi Cabinet during a meeting chaired by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in Riyadh.

The initiative targets government employees who hold engineering positions and have a bachelor’s degree in an engineering discipline from recognized universities, both from Saudi Arabia and abroad.

Targeted groups in the engineering sector

The salary scale overhaul focuses on engineers working only in the public sector. The changes will affect the following categories of professionals:

  • Engineer
  • Associate Engineer
  • Professional Engineer
  • Consultant Engineer

These categories are aligned with the Saudi Council of Engineers’ system, which sets professional accreditation standards.
