About the Role: Responsibilities, Skills, and Requirements

Ever found yourself thriving when keeping things organized, handling multiple requests, or simply lending a helping hand where it’s needed most? If so, we might just have the perfect spot for you. Our logistics & cargo company in Jebel Ali is on the lookout for Admin Assistants, Office Assistants, and Store Helpers — individuals ready to jump in, keep operations running smoothly, and grow with us during this busy hiring round. If you’re already based in the UAE and eager to take on a new challenge, your next opportunity could be waiting here.

About the Company

We’re a well-established logistics and cargo provider based in the heart of Jebel Ali, handling shipments for businesses across the UAE and beyond. Our team is as diverse as the labels on our parcels — with friendly collaboration and plenty of can-do spirit at the center of everything we do. Fridays usually end with a shared meal and stories about the day’s most surprising delivery (they’re often more interesting than you’d expect). If you’re looking for a place where your work is noticed and your teammates have your back, you’ll feel right at home.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Supporting day-to-day office tasks, from data entry to document preparation — every detail counts in logistics.
  • Coordinating between teams to make sure packages, supplies, and paperwork always end up where they should.
  • Helping keep storerooms organized, counting inventory, restocking shelves, or assisting as shipments come and go.
  • Answering phones or emails in a professional, approachable way; sometimes, you might be the first impression for our customers.
  • Pitching in wherever you’re needed — some days, you’re on your feet in the storeroom; others, you’re sorting through spreadsheets or setting up meeting rooms.
  • Working closely with a tight-knit team who value reliability, punctuality, and a positive attitude.
  • Maintaining a clean and safe work environment for both you and your colleagues.

What You’ll Bring

Must-Haves:

  • Current residency in the UAE (you’ll need to be here to apply)
  • Willingness to join immediately — we’re hiring on short notice!
  • Reliability, with a natural knack for staying organized and multitasking
  • Comfortable using basic office equipment (computers, copiers, phones)
  • A team-player attitude and a spirit that helps keep things running smoothly, no matter the task

Nice-to-Haves:

  • Previous experience in admin, office, or warehouse support roles
  • English language skills (additional languages are a bonus)
  • An adaptable mindset — logistics can be full of surprises

Not sure you tick every box? We’d still love to hear from you.

Why You’ll Love Working Here

  • Competitive salary, from AED2200 to AED4000, depending on experience and role
  • Visa, accommodation, and transportation provided by the company — one less thing to worry about
  • Multicultural team environment where your background is valued, and everyone pulls together
  • Plenty of on-the-job learning; you’ll pick up new skills and knowledge every week
  • Clear path for growth — we prefer to promote from within whenever possible
  • Immediate start available, so you can get settled into your new role without a lengthy wait

At the end of the day, you’ll find a group of people who look out for each other and aren’t afraid of a little hard work or a well-earned cup of tea after a busy shift.

(Please note: This recruitment company applies a job application fee.)
