Hire Indian Workers in Ras Laffan & Al Khor
Manpower for the industrial north: plant construction and maintenance trades for Ras Laffan contractors, and the camp, catering, transport and service staff who support them from Al Khor.
Qatar’s Gas Hub and the Town That Supports It
Ras Laffan Industrial City lies on the coast north of Doha and houses gas-processing, LNG, gas-to-liquids and related plants together with a dedicated port. Al Khor, the nearest sizeable town, and the settlements around it provide much of the accommodation, catering and services for the contractors who work inside the industrial city. Ongoing expansion of North Field output keeps contractor demand in the area high.
Hiring for this region has two sides. Inside the fence, employers need plant-experienced trades who can pass the operator’s access requirements. Outside it, they need camp bosses, cooks, cleaners, bus drivers and maintenance staff to run worker accommodation at a distance from the capital. We recruit for both.
Roles We Deploy
Why Ras Laffan Contractors Recruit From India
- Technicians with refinery and gas-plant backgrounds are familiar with permit systems and hazardous-area rules
- Workers who have lived in project camps before adapt more readily to a remote posting
- Core trades and camp support can be ordered together, so accommodation is staffed before crews arrive
- Candidate files are prepared with the detail needed for client approval and pass applications
- Batch mobilisation is planned around your induction slots and bus capacity from camp to plant
From Subcontract Award to Plant Entry
On award, define trades and dates, apply to the Ministry of Labour for visas and tell us the plant operator’s personnel criteria.
We test trades, verify certificates and compile CVs. Support staff are selected through practical trials suited to camp operations.
Workers attend the Qatar Visa Center for health screening, fingerprints and contract e-signature. ECR passport holders are then cleared by India’s Protector of Emigrants via eMigrate.
Arrivals are transferred to accommodation in the Al Khor area, obtain Qatar IDs, attend mandatory safety training and receive industrial-city entry passes arranged by you.
Pay, Conditions & Timeline
Posting to the north normally means employer-provided camp accommodation, meals and daily transport, which affects how the minimum wage applies. The law effective since 2021 guarantees a basic wage of no less than QAR 1,000 a month; the additional QAR 500 housing and QAR 300 food allowances are due only where the employer does not provide lodging and food itself. Verify the present amounts with the Ministry of Labour. Rates above the minimum are a matter for each contractor and are not quoted here.
Neither Qatar nor India permits recruitment costs to be charged to the worker, so the employer bears agency, visa and travel expenses. We mobilise to Gulf countries in a range of 1 to 25 days from visa approval and do not present that as a guarantee. Entry passes and client training in Ras Laffan take additional time. Much plant work is outdoors, so the summer ban on midday outdoor work needs to be reflected in shift patterns.

Employer FAQs
Who arranges Ras Laffan gate passes?
The employing contractor applies through the industrial city’s system, usually via its main contractor or client. We supply the worker documents required for the application.
Can you staff a workers’ camp in Al Khor?
Yes. We recruit camp supervisors, cooks, mess staff, cleaners, laundry workers and maintenance technicians employed by the contractor or its catering company.
Will workers accept a remote location?
Candidates are told the location, camp conditions and distance from Doha at interview. Those with previous project-camp experience are prioritised.
Do you recruit for short shutdowns?
We recruit for direct employment on Qatari work visas. Shutdown crews are possible when visa type and duration are settled early with the authorities.
