To the best of my knowledge, any profession from Technician and above has family status available. Which means you don't need to change your profession and may apply for family visa.

If you still want to change your profession (for whatever reason), you may switch to 'financial consultant' or 'accountant'. Don't try for any profession w.r.t HRM as Saudis are given preference for HR.

You're right, you will need to show educational certificates to prove your profession. As you do not have a building technician relevant degree, you will need to change your profession.

When you're changing your profession, why would you change it to admin level, the fees is the same no matter what the profession is. Your MBA finance goes perfectly with 'financial consultant'.

Financial Analyst محلل مالى is another good option.
