Trades we supply for Maldivian sites
- Steel fixers for slabs, columns and marine foundations
- Shuttering and finishing carpenters, including formwork for over-water structures
- Masons and tile masons for block work, plastering and resort villa finishing
- Scaffolders trained in tube-and-fitting and system scaffolds
- Chargehands for carpentry and masonry crews, who keep small island teams moving without constant supervision
How we test them
Every candidate completes a practical test at our Lahore centre: a steel fixer ties a column cage to drawing, a carpenter sets up formwork to level, a mason lays a straight course and checks plumb. We film each test and send it with the CV. You receive a shortlist within 7 working days.
How hiring works on the Maldivian side
The employer registers on the Xpat Online System, secures quota for each position and applies for a Work Permit Entry Pass. After the worker arrives, the work permit and work visa are completed. Since 1 April 2026, micro, small and medium businesses employing fewer than 20 expatriates are exempt from quota fees, which makes a first small crew far easier to justify.
What we handle in Pakistan
- Sourcing, trade tests and reference checks
- Medical, police clearance and document attestation
- Bureau of Emigration processing and protector stamp
- Pre-departure briefing on site safety, camp rules and Maldivian customs
Recruitment is Zero Cost to Employer. We do not publish salary figures; tell us the package you plan and we match candidates to it.

Yes. We build crews with a chargehand, the core trades and helpers, tested together where possible, so the team arrives ready to work as a unit.
Who applies for the Maldivian quota and work permit?
The employer, or its appointed representative, through the Xpat Online System. We prepare everything needed from Pakistan.
How quickly can workers arrive?
The shortlist comes within 7 working days. Arrival depends on your quota and Work Permit Entry Pass; we give you a dated plan in writing.
Do you charge the employer?
No. Recruitment is Zero Cost to Employer. Salary and statutory obligations remain with the employer.
