About the Role: Responsibilities, Skills, and Requirements
Ever wondered what it takes to help shape the skyline of Dubai—one building at a time? We’re urgently looking for dedicated Gypsum Board Carpenters, Bricklayers, Plasterers, Construction Blacksmiths, Construction Carpenters, and Ceramic & Marble Installers to join our growing crew in Warsan, International City. If you have hands-on construction experience and a transferable UAE residence permit (or you’re able to get one soon), this is your moment to be part of something remarkable. Right now, we’re offering a probationary period, with every intention to bring the right people aboard for the long run.
About the Company
We’re a dynamic, boots-on-the-ground construction team with a reputation for tackling some of the region’s most challenging projects. You’ll find a work environment that’s high-energy, professional, but never lacking for a laugh on break (ask anyone about our legendary team lunches). While we move fast—deadlines wait for no one—we always look out for each other, valuing craftsmanship, safety, and a job well done over cutting corners. Think of us as a family where everyone’s voice matters—from site veterans to new joiners.

- Building, repairing, and fitting all manner of wooden frameworks on-site.
- Cutting, fitting, and installing ceramic and marble tiling with an eye for lasting beauty.
- Collaborating with supervisors and fellow tradespeople to meet deadlines—because teamwork really does make the dream work.

- A valid UAE residence permit, preferably transferable within the first 6–12 months.
