Ever found yourself navigating the vibrant streets of Dubai and thought, “I could do this for a living”? If you’re a responsible driver who takes pride in punctuality and safety, this might just be your next big move. We’re looking for a dedicated Driver to join our heavy equipment maintenance company in Al Nahda, Dubai. Your main mission?

In a city that never slows down, we make sure our people don’t get left behind.

- Maintaining the cleanliness and basic upkeep of the company vehicle—after all, first impressions count.
- Communicating with the team about schedules, location changes, or unexpected delays.

What You’ll Bring
- Must-Haves:
- Valid UAE driving license with a strong track record of safe driving.
- Your own residency status in the UAE (this is essential for the role).
- Good knowledge of Dubai’s roads, shortcuts, and traffic patterns.
- Reliability and punctuality—you’re the kind of person who’s always five minutes early.
- A professional, respectful demeanor with team members and clients.
- Nice-to-Haves:
- Previous experience as a company driver or in a similar transportation role.
- Basic conversational English or Arabic to communicate with the team.
- Familiarity with heavy equipment or industrial work sites.
Not sure you tick every box? We’d still love to hear from you.
Why You’ll Love Working Here
- Company-provided car—no need to worry about wear and tear on your own vehicle.
- Comfortable staff accommodation included, so you can rest easy after a day on the road.
- Stable, full-time hours: 9 AM to 6 PM, with your evenings free.
- Friendly, supportive team that values every member’s contribution.
- Opportunities to learn more about Dubai’s industries and grow within the company.
- Regular team gatherings (and yes, there’s always good food involved).
We know that driving is about more than just getting from A to B—it’s about trust, responsibility, and being part of a team that counts on you. If that sounds like your kind of environment, we’d love to welcome you aboard.
