Musanadah Facilities Management has graduated the first cohort of Saudi nationals from the Public Investment Fund (PIF)-led azm Program, reinforcing its commitment to Saudisation and workforce development in the Kingdom’s facilities management sector.

The first cohort includes eight Saudi graduates who completed structured technical training, practical industry exposure and workplace learning. The initiative aims to prepare Saudi professionals for long-term careers in facilities management while supporting the workforce goals of Saudi Vision 2030.

Musanadah is among the inaugural partners of the PIF-led azm Program. The programme develops Saudi talent and creates career pathways in strategic sectors of the economy. As a result, participants receive technical training alongside hands-on operational experience before entering the workforce.

The company said the programme forms part of its long-term strategy to build local capability and create sustainable employment opportunities for Saudi nationals. Moreover, it supports national efforts to reduce unemployment and increase private sector participation.

Ahmed Alhakeem, HR Director at Musanadah, said the graduation reflects the company’s national workforce strategy.

“This graduation is clear evidence of our Nationalization strategy in action. By investing in the training and development of Saudi nationals, we are helping to prepare the next generation of facilities management professionals while contributing to the Kingdom’s broader economic and social development goals. It also reflects our commitment to our slogan, ‘For a Vibrant Society,’ which aligns closely with the core pillars of Vision 2030.”

Nigel Wright, Managing Director of Musanadah, said the programme marks an important milestone for the organisation and its partnership with PIF.

“We are proud to be an inaugural partner of the azm Program, an important initiative from the Public Investment Fund to support Saudi talent development. Seeing the first group of participants complete the program is a significant milestone for Musanadah and highlights the value of this partnership.”

He added that developing Saudi facilities management professionals remains essential for the sector’s future. He also said Musanadah will continue supporting the programme as it strengthens its position as an employer of choice for Saudi talent.

PIF recognises Musanadah’s contribution

As part of the initiative, Musanadah provided structured learning, practical industry experience and ongoing mentorship. Consequently, graduates gained the technical and professional skills required to work in the facilities management industry.

The company also received recognition from PIF for its contribution to the azm Program, highlighting its role in developing Saudi talent.

Musanadah delivers integrated facilities management services across government, commercial, residential, hospitality, retail, education and critical infrastructure sectors throughout Saudi Arabia.

In addition, the company has earned several industry awards. It won the Best FM Company in Saudi Arabia title at the SBIA Awards in both 2024 and 2025. It also received the MEFMA Award for Community and Social Impact in Facilities Management for its contribution to the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 objectives.
