WHO WE ARE
Engineers & Contractors - Leaders in turn-key EPC, powering data centres and infrastructure across the UAE, KSA, GCC and the MENA.

Its multi-cultural team is focused on maintaining a high standard of service, integrity and reliability – a strategy that has allowed it to grow and maintain its reputation.
As a leading Data Centres Contractor in Saudi Arabia (KSA) and the UAE (Dubai & Abu Dhabi), the company brings unmatched expertise to mission-critical infrastructure projects. Its ability to deliver high-performance data centers on time and to exacting standards has earned the trust of both regional clients and global technology firms.
Empowering a Data-Driven Future
“At JLW, now a subsidiary of Al Awael Modern Contracting Company and a member of the Rashed Abdul Rahman Al Rashed & Sons Group, we have transformed from a niche MEP subcontractor into a regionally recognized EPC leader. JLW was recognized as a contractor with depth to lead design—not just build—complex projects, particularly in the data center sector. With 85% of our revenue now driven by data centres across KSA and the UAE, our focus is clear and deliberate. Backed by deep in-house capability & long-term strategic alignment, we are helping define the future of infrastructure.”
