Jan 28 (Reuters) - Canada's SNC-Lavalin Group Inc SNC.TO cut its forecast for full-year 2018 profit on Monday, citing a problem with a project in its mining and metallurgy unit, as well as ongoing trading challenges in the Middle East and Saudi Arabia.
The company now expects full-year adjusted profit to be between C$2.15 and C$2.20 per share, down from its previous forecast of C$3.60 to C$3.85 per share.
Over 15 percent of the company's global workforce is employed in Saudi Arabia, SNC-Lavalin said in a statement.
