AL Jidar Al Handasi

What AL Jidar Al Handasi does

AL Jidar Al Handasi, operating under the brand 'JH Iraq,' is a privately held Iraqi Mechanical, Electrical & Civil (MEC) contracting firm headquartered in Aljazaeer, Basra, Iraq. The company delivers technically advanced, cost-effective foundation and construction solutions, with a primary vertical focus on the oil and gas industry and a stated strategic ambition to extend into mining, metals, and energy. Its service portfolio is organized as twelve discrete lines — Civil Construction, Piling, Ground Works Roadways, Wellpads, Mechanical and Chemical, Piping, Electrical, Foundation, Logistics, Hospitality, Water Treatment Technology and Chemical Supply, and Coating — deployed across infrastructure, oil services, industrial, commercial, residential, and environmental projects. Operations are project-based, with a workforce of over 150 personnel deployed across Iraq.

The go-to-market is enterprise field sales: the firm engages customers from the earliest stages of a project, applying engineering and execution expertise to influence design and delivery. Pricing is quote-based and project-specific, not publicly disclosed, consistent with negotiated B2B construction contracts. Distribution is domestic and direct, with no use of intermediaries, resellers, or digital channels beyond the corporate website (jh-iraq.com). A formal 'Al Jidar Al Handasi Safety Framework' underpins operations, alongside statutory environmental clearances obtained under Iraqi pollution-control and Environment Management requirements, and a stated 'Zero injuries' objective.

Revenue is undisclosed. The stated growth thesis combines organic expansion with acquisition-driven moves, supported by a 'continuously expanding client database,' additional offices planned within Iraq, and aspirations for geographic and vertical diversification. No public listing, funding rounds, M&A transactions, named customers, or management bios are present in the available source material, limiting external visibility into scale, ownership, and financial trajectory.
