Utilizing a case study approach and relying heavily on available project documentation, the focus is on HR planning, recruitment, training, performance and appraisal, reward systems, and the development of a formalized communication structure. Results showed that the adoption of a FW’s military-based hierarchical framework, integrated contractor workforce management, prescribed and formalized HSE training, and a variety of communication systems, contributed to the successful completion of the project. Although some of the obstacles faced included a shortage of skilled labor, the remote nature of the project site, and language difficulties, these were solved with a few motivational incentives, the use of skilled labor with bilingual capabilities, and electronic coordination. Megaprojects in developing nations with an emphasis on digital HR, community engagement, and practice HR with real-time performance indicators and dashboards is the focus of the recommendations.</jats:p>}, number={3}, journal={International Journal of Advanced Engineering, Management and Science}, publisher={AI Publications}, author={Abdullah, Muhammad}, year={2026}, pages={254–257} }
