Dokainish & Company Partners with SaudConsult to Enhance Project Management in Saudi Arabia

In an exciting development for the engineering consulting landscape, Dokainish & Company, which is recognized as Canada's leading consultancy for project controls and systems implementation, has officially joined forces with SaudConsult, the premier engineering firm in Saudi Arabia. This strategic partnership aims to bolster operations across the Kingdom, significantly enhancing project management practices and delivering robust infrastructure development solutions.

With over six decades of experience, SaudConsult stands out as Saudi Arabia's longest-standing engineering consultancy, boasting a workforce of over 1,800 professionals. This vital collaboration brings together Dokainish's award-winning project controls and systems expertise with SaudConsult's extensive engineering background, ensuring that clients benefit from complete Engineering, Procurement, and Construction Management (EPCM) capabilities across Saudi Arabia.

A New Era for Project Management in Saudi Arabia

The recent partnership was formalized during a trade delegation from Canada to the Gulf region, which was led by The Honourable Maninder Sidhu, the Minister of International Trade. This collaboration comes at a pivotal moment as Saudi Arabia embarks on its Vision 2030 initiative, aiming to transform its economy and infrastructure. By combining insights from both Canadian and local Saudi expertise, the partnership is set to foster economic ties and create new opportunities in line with the Kingdom's ambitious development plans.

Tarik Dokainish, President and CEO of Dokainish & Company, emphasized how this partnership complements the company’s existing delivery model. He expressed confidence in the partnership's potential, stating, “We’ve built award-winning PMOs and delivered programs on budget and ahead of schedule across the world’s most demanding industries. This partnership brings that discipline to Saudi Arabia at scale.”

Meanwhile, Fahad Al-Tamimi, CEO of SaudConsult, highlighted the significance of adding world-class project controls to their existing engineering prowess. “This partnership combines engineering expertise with essential project management skills, thus offering our clients a comprehensive EPCM solution,” he noted.

Strengthening Ties Between Canada and Saudi Arabia

The partnership represents a broader strategy for stronger international relationships, fostering collaboration that is built on shared values and objectives. Minister Sidhu remarked, “This partnership reflects Canada’s commitment to building strong global connections and supporting transformative initiatives like Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030. By fostering collaboration between Canadian and Saudi expertise, we strengthen economic ties, create new opportunities for Canadian businesses, and advance our objective of doubling non-U.S. exports over the next decade.”

As both companies gear up to leverage each other's strengths, their joint efforts are expected to play a significant role in reshaping the infrastructure landscape in Saudi Arabia. Already having established a solid foundation through years of service in the region, Dokainish plans to open a dedicated office in Saudi Arabia in early 2026, further solidifying its commitment to local projects.

Looking Forward

This collaboration not only signifies a remarkable milestone for Dokainish & Company and SaudConsult but also sets the stage for transformative growth in the infrastructure sector throughout Saudi Arabia. With a promise of improved project management capabilities and a strategic alignment with the Kingdom's Vision 2030, both firms are poised to create a lasting impact in the engineering and consulting domains.

As these companies continue their journey together, they aim to redefine project delivery and support substantial infrastructure development that will benefit the Kingdom for generations to come.
