Morocco is recruiting on a large scale to prepare for the 2030 World Cup. Construction, tourism, logistics, and digital: the sectors that are hiring and how to apply from abroad.

The 2030 World Cup will generate an enormous demand for skilled professionals. The sectors with the greatest needs include: construction and civil engineering (stadiums, motorways, the Kénitra-Marrakech high-speed rail line), hospitality and tourism (50,000+ hotel rooms to be built), transport and logistics (airports, railway stations), and digital and communications (ticketing systems, security, media). Skilled MRE are sought after for their cross-cultural background and international expertise. Key roles include: project managers, engineers, architects, hotel directors, security specialists, digital consultants, and translators. How to apply: visit the emploi.ma jobs portal, contact the CRI (Regional Investment Centre) in your target region, reach out to specialist recruitment agencies (Michael Page Maroc, ReKrute.com), and leverage your LinkedIn network. The MDM Invest programme also supports MRE who wish to establish a business in these high-growth sectors.
