The Egis-led Technical and Program Management Joint Venture, comprising leading international engineering firms Setec, Egis, and Assystem (SEA), is pleased to announce the opening of its new office in AlUla, Saudi Arabia. The establishment of the new office will cultivate SEA’s capabilities and support its ongoing and anticipated infrastructure development projects of AlUla, supporting on-time delivery of its most urgent projects and long-term development.
The inauguration of the office was attended by senior representatives from the Royal Commission for AlUla (RCU), Egis’ Saudi Arabia Managing Director, Robert Hope, along with senior members from the SEA JV.
This expansion follows the partnership between RCU and SEA, which was reinforced last October through a ten-year alliance and a significant increase in SEA’s workforce presence from 40 to 200. SEA’s current responsibilities cover the entire infrastructure development cycle of AlUla, including high-quality operation and maintenance activities, professional capabilities development, localization and community development, and the adoption of innovative digital practices. The Egis-led JV will contribute to a sustainable, innovative, and inclusive development model, designed to benefit the local population and visitors from around the world.
Over the years, SEA has played a pivotal role in facilitating the development of AlUla’s infrastructure,” said Robert Hope, Egis’ Saudi Arabia Managing Director. “With the opening of the new office in AlUla, SEA is dedicated to harnessing innovative, digital, and world-class practices, tools, and methodologies to deliver infrastructure projects efficiently and promptly. We are also committed to empowering the talented local individuals in AlUla, leveraging their skills and knowledge to further enhance our capabilities,” he added.
With its diverse engineering expertise, Egis has contributed to significant projects aligned with Vision 2030, such as the Riyadh Metro, Green Riyadh, NEOM, DGDA, and Riyadh Airport. The establishment of SEA’s new office underscores the company’s dedication to supporting Saudi Arabia’s vision of becoming a global hub for business and tourism.
