Many people ask: What jobs will OEC offer in 2026?
Overseas Employment Corporation (OEC) works under the Government of Pakistan to help Pakistanis find jobs abroad. They also plan and announce new job chances each year.
This post shares what you can expect for 2026 OEC jobs, how to prepare now, and tips to get selected.
🇸🇦 Types of Jobs Likely in 2026
In past years, OEC has helped people find work in the Middle East, Gulf countries, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman.
Some common job types are:
- Senior Software Engineer
- Project Manager
- Healthcare staff (nurses, aides)
- Construction and trade workers
- Hospitality (hotel staff, cooks)
- Office staff and administrative roles
- Education / Teachers
- Technical roles (electrician, plumber, technician)
Because OEC Soft Skills Training gives you communication, teamwork, leadership—many roles will prefer those skills.
When Job Announcements Happen
From past trends:
- OEC usually announces job listings early in each year (January-March)
- Sometimes mid-year (May-July) new projects begin
