HR That Protects Your Project

Poor industrial relations and non-compliant HR practices are among the most underestimated project risks in the Oil & Gas and construction sectors. A workforce dispute, a payroll error or a social security lapse can halt work, damage client relationships and trigger regulatory consequences — often at the worst possible moment.

Mansol's HR and Industrial Relations Management service is designed to take that risk off your desk entirely. We handle payroll processing, statutory compliance, labour law adherence, grievance resolution, community relations and all government and administration liaison — leaving your project management team free to focus on engineering and delivery.

Our KSA operations are headed by Dr. Saqlain Sher, Chief People Officer — a Ph.D. and MBA-qualified HR leader with certifications including SHRM-SCP, SPHRI, MCIPD and PMP, and with experience spanning Saudi Bin Ladin Group, Descon Engineering, Doosan, PTCL and the National Bank of Pakistan. This is not generalist HR support — it is specialist industrial HR at the highest professional level.

HR operations at Apex Core Engineering's KSA entity are led by Dr. Saqlain Sher, Chief People Officer, based in Al Jubail. Dr. Sher holds a Ph.D. and MBA in HR and global certifications including SHRM-SCP, SPHRI, MCIPD, PMP, GDEIB and Lead Auditor ISO 30414. His career spans banking, telecom, oil and gas, and engineering sectors across the GCC, Pakistan and Scotland, with experience at organisations including Saudi Bin Ladin Group, Descon Engineering, Doosan, PTCL and the National Bank of Pakistan. He is contactable at dr.saqlain@apexcoreeng.com or +966 53 128 4035.

Yes. Apex Core Engineering's KSA entity is fully compliant with Saudi regulatory requirements and holds verified certificates for GOSI Occupational Health & Safety, the Wage Protection System (WPS) with zero active violations, and the QIWA platform. Our current Debt Certificate shows zero active violations and zero penalty amounts. With Dr. Saqlain Sher's deep regional experience — including prior roles with Saudi Bin Ladin Group — our KSA HR advisory team navigates GOSI, WPS, Nitaqat and Saudi Labour Law with direct first-hand knowledge.

We provide both. The MANSOFT databank covers the full spectrum from tradespeople through to senior management — Project Directors, Senior Engineers, QA/QC Managers, HSE Managers, Planning Engineers, Cost Control Engineers, HR Managers, Business Development Managers and Finance professionals. For senior appointments, our head-hunting approach is targeted and confidential: we leverage our 15+ years of industry relationships across GCC and Pakistan to identify candidates who are not actively on the market, not just those responding to advertisements.

Yes. HRIS implementation is a defined area of expertise for Dr. Saqlain Sher and the Apex Core Engineering HR consultancy team. We can advise on HRIS selection, manage implementation projects and align the system configuration with your specific HR processes and reporting requirements. Our own internal infrastructure includes MANSOFT (our proprietary manpower data management system), MTSOFT (training management) and ACCEDER and PEACH TREE (accounts management) — giving us direct working knowledge of what effective HR technology infrastructure looks like in practice.

Our industrial relations management service operates on a prevention-first principle. By maintaining clear documentation of employment terms, providing prompt payroll disbursement, and ensuring statutory compliance from day one, the conditions for disputes are minimised before they arise. Where grievances do occur, our team follows a structured process: early intervention, documented investigation, impartial resolution and — where necessary — direct engagement with labour authorities or community representatives on the client's behalf. Our 15+ year track record across challenging project environments demonstrates that this approach works.
