About the Role: Responsibilities, Skills, and Requirements
Ever find yourself in a bustling marketplace, thinking, “This is where real connections happen”? As Customer Service Staff at Harvest Green Foodstuff Trading L.L.C., you’ll be right at the heart of it all — serving up friendly support alongside the colors and flavors of Dubai’s vibrant Al Aweer Fruit & Vegetable Market. If you’re enthusiastic about helping people and enjoy a dynamic workday, this could be your chance to shine in a truly unique setting.
About the Company
Harvest Green is one of those places where work feels like being part of a lively family business — team lunches are impromptu, conversations flow across languages, and there’s genuine pride in every crate we hand off to a customer. Since day one, we’ve built our reputation not just on top-notch produce, but on honest, old-school service and relationships that last. Whether you’re talking with a lifelong client or welcoming someone new, you’ll feel the spirit of growth (and maybe even catch a manager weighing tomatoes alongside you!).
What You’ll Be Doing
- Greeting customers with a warm, approachable attitude — it really sets the tone for their visit
- Answering questions about our products, prices, and availability, both in person and over the phone
- Handling sales transactions with care — from weighing produce to managing simple payments
- Helping to resolve small issues or concerns before they turn into bigger problems
- Working with our warehouse and delivery teams to keep orders flowing smoothly
- Updating records or entering basic data on our systems (don’t worry, we’ll show you how)
- Switching between Arabic and English as needed — you might chat with a vendor in one language and a customer in another, often in the same breath
What You’ll Bring
Must-Haves:
- A positive, welcoming attitude — people can see it from across the counter
- Good communication skills in both Arabic and English
- Willingness to learn (none of us had all the answers on day one!)
- Basic computer literacy — just enough to handle records or check a stock list
- Genuine interest in helping customers and working as part of a reliable team
Nice-to-Haves:
- Experience in retail or food markets
- Familiarity with fruit, vegetable, or foodstuff trading
- Comfort juggling in-person and phone conversations
Not sure you tick every box? We’d still love to hear from you.
Why You’ll Love Working Here
- Supportive team — questions and laughter are both welcome
- A dynamic environment (there’s always something new to learn or fresh produce to try)
- Staff discounts on the products we’re proud to source
- Opportunities to learn about food, trade, and customer care
- Stable, reliable work schedule in a well-known Dubai location
- We care about finding the right fit, not just filling a seat — if you stick around, you’ll grow with us
If you like the idea of connecting with your community, working alongside a down-to-earth team, and building skills for the long run, this is your place.
