HR Specialist.

canasa is hiring an HR Specialist to manage people operations for the Dammam yard. This is a full-time, on-site position in the 2nd Industrial City.

The HR Specialist is responsible for the full employee cycle: payroll, GOSI and statutory filings, recruitment and onboarding, employment contracts, personnel files, labour and visa coordination, and training. Wages must land on the day named; Iqama, contracts and contributions must remain in order. Discretion is required, as the role handles salaries and private employee records.

• Prepare and process payroll on schedule, including overtime, deductions, advances and final settlements.
• Register employees and file contributions through GOSI, Qiwa and related labour platforms, keeping statutory records current and accurate.
• Post open roles, screen applications, schedule interviews, and complete onboarding so each new employee arrives with a contract, PPE briefing and a complete personnel file.
• Draft, issue and renew employment contracts, and maintain employee records covering leave, warnings, certificates and expiry dates.
• Coordinate Iqama, sponsorship changes and labour-office matters with management and the PRO, and raise issues before they affect the employee or the company.
• Arrange induction, safety briefings and skills training, and retain attendance and certificates on file.
• Carry out interviews, training, handovers and payroll close on site at the Dammam yard.

• A minimum of three years' experience in HR, payroll or personnel administration in Saudi Arabia, including a completed payroll cycle and GOSI filing, not recruitment posting alone.
• Working knowledge of the Saudi Labour Law, GOSI, Qiwa and employment contracts. Experience in a recycling yard, logistics or industrial company is preferred.
• Fluency in Arabic and English, written and spoken, as contracts and employee conversations are conducted in both languages.
• Demonstrated discretion in handling salaries, Iqama details and private employee files.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Excel and HR or payroll software, and comfort with government portals.
• A valid, transferable Saudi Iqama.

Wages arrive when we said they would. PPE and training come with the job from day one, and the yard runs in the languages its people actually speak: English, Arabic, Urdu, Bengali, Hindi, Tagalog and Malayalam. The desk is in Dammam's 2nd Industrial City. It is the same promise we make customers, applied to our own crew.
