About the Role: Responsibilities, Skills, and Requirements
Introduction
Are you the kind of person who takes pride in skillfully maneuvering heavy machinery, even in tight spots?

- 2–3 years of hands-on experience operating Bobcat machinery, ideally on construction or transport sites
- Valid UAE equipment operator’s license (or ability to obtain one)
