The group provides integrated EPC and O&M services, with a growing focus on public-private partnership (PPP) initiatives.
With roots dating back to 1875, JLW has built a longstanding reputation in engineered building services. In 2024, Al Awael Group acquired full ownership of JLW’s Middle East operations—strengthening its presence in advanced digital infrastructure and expanding its activities across Saudi Arabia and the wider GCC region.
Since launching its Middle East presence in 2007, JLW has evolved deliberately from a niche MEP subcontractor into one of the region’s leading EPC Main Contractors, with a sharp focus on data centre infrastructure.
Data centre projects currently account for over 85% of JLW’s revenue, reflecting its expertise in fast-paced, high-spec environments. The company follows a fully integrated delivery model—combining in-house design, engineering, and commissioning—to ensure precision and accountability throughout all project phases. With a workforce of more than 5,600 professionals, JLW is committed to safety, sustainability, and innovation, reinforcing its role as a trusted partner in the region’s digital transformation.
