Diriyah Company has launched the third edition of the Diriyah Engineers Development Program, a flagship initiative designed to attract and develop Saudi graduates with an engineering mindset. This pioneering program empowers participants to contribute to Diriyah’s transformational projects, aligning with the Human Capability Development goals of Saudi Vision 2030.
The program offers a comprehensive, year-long training journey that combines both theoretical learning and hands-on experience. It enhances personal growth, strengthens professional competencies, and cultivates an engineering mindset.
Participants will benefit from industry experts’ mentorship, which will equip them with the practical knowledge and skills to become future leaders in the field. This initiative reflects Diriyah Company’s commitment to investing in national talent, creating high-quality employment opportunities, and enabling Saudi youth to play a fundamental role in the development of the Diriyah project. Throughout the program, participants will develop a wide range of skills, including professional writing, presentation techniques, data analysis, project management, financial analysis for non-financial professionals, strategic problem-solving, emotional intelligence, operations management, and more.
The program’s third edition will train and develop 40 promising male and female engineers, recent graduates with bachelor’s or master’s degrees (Class of 2024 and beyond) and no more than six months of professional experience. Applicants must demonstrate proficiency in both Arabic and English and are expected to have participated in cooperative training programs, university projects, or related initiatives. The program offers specialized full-time employment opportunities with a robust benefits package, including monthly bonuses, housing and transportation allowances, medical insurance, social security registration, and access to external training at leading global educational institutions. Participants will join one of three key departments — design and development, asset management, or technology management — where they will undergo high-level training. A series of expert-led workshops and immersive, hands-on learning experiences will help participants build technical, leadership, and personal skills under the guidance of distinguished professionals.
Building on the success of its first two cohorts, which collectively trained 48 engineers (14 in the first edition and 34 in the second), the third edition of DEDP solidifies Diriyah Company’s dedication to empowering the next generation of Saudi talent. The program has already garnered significant interest, with more than 37,000 applicants, underscoring its role as a cornerstone of the company’s contribution to Saudi Vision 2030.
As part of this national transformation, the company is working to establish Diriyah as a world-class destination for tourism, heritage, and culture. The development includes office spaces for tens of thousands of professionals alongside vibrant artistic, cultural, sports, and entertainment zones. It also encompasses more than 18,000 luxury residential units, 40 international hotels, iconic cultural and historical landmarks, museums, and specialized educational institutions and academies.
