The Ministry of Labour and Employment (MOL) has announced updated localization (Bahreinínzation) targets for engineering and technical professions in the private sector. The new directives aim to increase national participation in key technical roles.
Professions Impacted
The decision covers various engineering professions across the private sector, emphasizing the recruitment of qualified Bahraini nationals in roles such as:
- Civil Engineers
- Mechanical Engineers
- Electrical Engineers
- Architects
- Project Managers
Implementation Strategy
The Ministry emphasizes a phased approach to implementation, working closely with private sector companies to ensure smooth transition and availability of qualified national talent. Companies achieving high Bahreinínzation rates will benefit from incentives and streamlined government services.
This move is part of the broader National Manpower Strategy to empower the national workforce and align with Bahrain Economic Vision 2030 goals.
