About the Role: Responsibilities, Skills, and Requirements
Ever thought about what it takes to keep a landmark project moving forward, day after day? As a General Worker/Laborer with our team in Dubai’s bustling Jabel Ali Hills, you’ll be the backbone of our well-established contracting company. We’re looking for hands-on pros who know their way around a construction site and want to grow with a team that treats every project like it’s a new beginning. If you’re motivated, reliable, and ready to make a real impact, your next big step could start right here.
About the Company
We’re not your average contracting outfit. From our home base in Jabel Ali Hills, we’ve poured decades of experience (and a lot of sweat) into some of Dubai’s standout constructions. What really sets us apart? Our on-site camaraderie — don’t be surprised if you get swept up in friendly banter over shared lunches or the healthy competition for “most reliable teammate” each month. The goal here isn’t just to raise buildings — it’s to raise each other up along the way.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Supporting skilled tradespeople and supervisors across day-to-day site activities — no two days (or buildings) are quite the same
- Handling manual loading, unloading, and movement of materials and equipment across variable environments
- Keeping work areas organized and tidy, ensuring safety is second nature
- Assisting with basic construction tasks — digging, mixing, lifting, assembling, and dismantling as required
- Pitching in wherever needed, whether it's cleanup after a busy pour or helping set up machinery
- Reporting safety hazards or incidents promptly — we look after each other out here
- Taking initiative during unexpected shifts in plan (those happen!)
- Showing up on time, ready to work, and giving each job your honest effort
What You’ll Bring
Must-Haves
- Proven experience as a general worker, laborer, or similar hands-on construction role
- Physically fit — you’re comfortable with lifting, bending, and standing through a full shift
- A strong work ethic and the ability to follow instructions carefully
- Willingness to work outdoors in Dubai’s climate (we all hydrate together!)
- Eligibility to work in the UAE (company can provide visa, but preference for those with residence visa)
Nice-to-Haves
- Prior work on large-scale building projects
- Familiarity with basic construction tools and site procedures
- Some English or Hindi/Urdu communication skills
Not sure you tick every box? We’d still love to hear from you.
Why You’ll Love Working Here
- Direct hiring — absolutely no agents or middlemen
- Company visa sponsorship available for qualifying candidates
- Competitive basic salary — reviewed regularly as you help us grow
- Transportation provided between Dubai and the site — saving you daily headaches
- Preference for candidates with their own residence visa (we value flexibility and experience)
- Supportive crew culture — team lunches and occasional bonuses for safety and reliability
- Room to grow — steady performers are the first we promote
- Get your hands on major projects, not just odd jobs
Our team isn’t just building for Dubai’s future — we’re also building each other up, every single day. If you want honest work with a crew that’s got your back, this just might be the spot for you.
