Self service laundry is a good option too. Thank you

Also, do NC1 cabins have ovens/stovetop?

Have been reading and honestly there is a wealth of helpful information here about Neom starting from the pre-interview stages all the way to on-boarding/arrival. So, thank you all!!!

I am already in the kingdom (have been for 3 years with the family) and was being approached by recruiters for Neom/Enowa roles. Reading through this forum answered most of my questions. But I am still wondering regarding the below (and would appreciate your view on these):
1. Is the relocation sum still be paid if I am already in the kingdom and just switching employer?

No. You're already in KSA. No relocation if you are already in the country.

2. Would the family iqama transfer be "seamless" (ie, the family would not have to exit the country and come back again under my new iqama etc.)?

Should be. Yes.

3. Do they offer additional housing allowance (and how much, if yes. 3 dependents) if the family resides off-camp (ie, in Jeddah, Riyadh etc.)?

No

4. How much is the yearly repat payment (family of 4, Melbourne)

Your base will be KSA as that is where you are being employed from. Theyll provide a sum for you to return to either RUH or JED if that is where you're moving from.

5. Do they pay in SAR or in USD? Do you have options to get paid into your overseas (Oz) account (full or split) directly?

SAR
Only your first pay will go to an offshore account if you do not already have a KSA bank acct. Assuming as you're already in the Kingdom, you already have an account, so the first and ongoing payments will go into that in SAR.

6. That 25%-30% increase of pay: Does it tend to happen regardless of your role at Neom?

No. Not a given.

7. Are all the conditions identical for a role with Enowa?

Yes


Many thanks in advance.

Grade7 - Manager
Grade 8 - Snr Manager
Grade 9 - Director

I believe the minimum for Grade7 is 60k/mth, with Grade 8 @ 80k and Grade 9 @ 100k
There is no science to it, but that is what i have heard.

EG; You may have been a senior manager elsewhere, but your title here will be based on what your salary is, and your salary here is determinant on what is what where you came from plus the % uplift of 25% - not your previous job title.

Again, generally speaking - Grades 7-9 will all be housed in B Units at NC2 on arrival. There is no difference in waitlists timing or anything. There are no differences in anything offered beside the salary paid."

Most probably/hopefully going to work in the port.
Having my second interview tomorrow, all happens a bit fast within a weeks time from sending my resume to the chat.
And i can't find much about Oxagon, are those different camps from NEOM community?
If anyone could share some experience about Oxagon please, thanks

What then is the impact of the Neom role that your are coming to? I am assuming the Neom role also has its defined Grade code or does it not?
Is it like this: You get selected for role A, you submit your payslips, they offer you something attractive based on your current salary and so the offered salary dictates which grade you fall under, rather than role A's grade code?

Regards

I have looked at hotels near the camp but I wasn't able to find anything beyond a website for a resort and it is quite pricy. I do not recall the name unfortunately..

Good luck!

On point # 4: Just to test it out further - If an Australian (or otherwise) national joins Neom say, from Dubai (being on a UAE work visa), would Dubai/UAE be considered as his/her base location, although he/she would have nothing to do with UAE as soon as he/she cancels his/her UAE work visa?
But anyhow, Are you (or anyone on the forum) able to advise roughly how much the yearly repat payment is if the base location is Sydney or Melbourne (family of 4)?

On point # 6: Are you implying that the target Neom role has to have the $ range to accommodate for the uplift?

Cheers.

Flight allowance to your “Home” is based on the annual average price for that sector, paid to you at the beginning of the year after your first.

The role and/or grade is a function of your salary. Whether they provide the uplift on your current earnings is up to them. Like i said, there is no guarantee to this, and there is little to no negotiation once your offer is provided to you or your headhunter.

Employed in the GCC (foreign passport holder) but deemed as their last place of residence/employment as home base. Not a citizen of this country, but merely it was their last place of residence before NEOM and hence is where their flight allowance returns them to.

But happy to accept if this is incorrect nonetheless.
