TAWAL – Telecommunications Towers Company Limited

TAWAL, a subsidiary of Saudi Telecom Company (stc), is a leading telecommunications towers company. In 2023, TAWAL expanded its international footprint into Europe through the acquisition of more than 4,800 telecom tower sites across Bulgaria, Croatia, and Slovenia.

The challenge

Following the acquisition, TAWAL required an experienced HR and Operations Manager to oversee its newly established European operations. The role was critical to ensuring operational continuity, compliance with local labor frameworks, and the establishment of effective HR and operational processes across multiple countries.

Project outline

Salience partnered with TAWAL to identify and secure a senior HR and Operations Manager capable of operating in a complex, multi-country environment. The engagement included comprehensive market mapping, salary benchmarking, and assessment of diversity and talent availability across the region.

Salience conducted detailed candidate screening and interviews, and worked closely with TAWAL’s internal talent acquisition team to coordinate interviews, support offer negotiations, and complete reference checks.

Our impact

The successful placement played a key role in establishing TAWAL’s HR and operational framework in Europe. The appointed manager supported integration of the acquired assets, strengthened internal processes, and contributed to stable operations and continued growth across the region.

Salience continues to support TAWAL with strategic talent and resourcing needs as the company expands its European presence.
