LinkedIn in Jubail: petrochemicals, ports, water and the contractors behind them

Jubail Industrial City is often described as the world’s largest industrial city and has been ranked the top industrial park globally for performance. It covers 1,016 km² and adds about 7% of Saudi Arabia’s GDP.

SABIC, founded in 1976 to turn oil by-products into chemicals, polymers and fertilisers, has most of its plants here, and the company employs more than 40,000 people worldwide.

Utilities are on the same scale. Jubail’s independent water and power project produces 2,743.6 MW of electricity and 800,000 m³ of water a day, and the SWCC desalination plant set a Guinness record in 2019 at 5.6 million m³ a day.

Bechtel has managed the Jubail project since the mid-1970s, including Jubail II, a $3.8 billion expansion of the industrial and residential areas.

That creates a large B2B market for engineering, inspection, maintenance, safety, logistics and software firms. We write LinkedIn content for them. A maintenance contractor can share a shutdown case study with safety numbers. An inspection firm can explain a new testing method. A logistics company can show port and heavy-lift services. A training provider can post certified safety courses.

Plant managers and buyers scroll between shifts, so posts are short, specific and backed by numbers, in English or Arabic, with directors’ posts drafted in their voice and signed off by them.

Each month we list who engaged by company and job title, so your sales team can follow up with the right plants.

The Royal Commission also runs Yanbu, Ras Al-Khair and the newest industrial city in Jazan, so a supplier that wins work in Jubail can use the same case studies to reach buyers in the other cities, and LinkedIn is the easiest place to show that track record.

• Maintenance. Shutdown case studies.
• Inspection. Testing methods.
• Logistics. Port and heavy-lift services.
• Training. Certified safety courses.

What month one looks like on LinkedIn

• Week 1: Company Page, certifications and safety record.
• Week 2: a shutdown or project case study.
• Week 3: a hiring post before turnaround season.
• Week 4: engagement by company and job title.
