Our projects range from commercial blocks to community spaces, but our approach always puts people first: the folks on our teams, the partners we work with, and the neighborhoods we help build. Around here, trust, open communication, and Friday afternoon chai breaks are just as important as timelines and blueprints. If you respect craftsmanship and camaraderie, you’ll fit right in.

- Organizing daily activity schedules, and making sure that materials and tools are in the right place at the right time
- Training and mentoring junior crew members, passing on best practices and safety habits
- Keeping daily records of activities, production, and any site incidents
- Communicating openly with project managers and other foremen to keep jobs running smoothly

- Strong understanding of workplace safety procedures and quality standards

- Leadership skills—able to foster teamwork while keeping deadlines in check
- Availability to start immediately (ideal, but we’ll wait for the right fit!)
Nice-to-Haves
- Basic spoken/written English or Arabic
- Previous experience on large-scale projects in the UAE or Gulf region
