Let’s Talk About the Role
Interested in putting your heavy vehicle skills to good use at a company that values your experience? As a Heavy Truck Driver with one of Abu Dhabi’s prominent agricultural teams, you’ll play a vital part in supporting local farms, groves, and green projects across the region. If you appreciate open roads, steady routines, and being an essential link in the supply chain, this just might be your kind of opportunity.
Who We Are
We're not your average agricultural business. Our team’s roots run deep in Abu Dhabi’s farming community, and we pride ourselves on blending tradition with innovation. Every season, our logistics teams pull together to ensure fresh produce gets where it needs to go—on time and safely. Expect an environment where hard work is respected, good humor is appreciated (traveling stories welcome!), and taking pride in a job well done is the unspoken rule. Regular check-ins and a supportive crew mean you’re never just a number here.

- Inspecting vehicles before and after trips, reporting any mechanical issues promptly
- Navigating Abu Dhabi’s agricultural zones efficiently, using your local knowledge to avoid delays
- Keeping detailed logs of routes, deliveries, and vehicle maintenance
- Maintaining high standards of road safety—and acting as an ambassador for the company on every trip
- Pitching in when needed with basic maintenance or helping teammates at delivery points
What You’ll Bring
Must-Haves:
- A valid UAE heavy vehicle driving license
- At least 2 years’ experience with heavy truck driving (bonus points for agricultural transport)

- Ability to work flexible shifts as operations require
Nice-to-Haves:
- Previous experience with temperature-controlled cargo or agricultural loads
- Basic mechanical know-how for minor troubleshooting on the road

Not sure you tick every box? We’d still love to hear from you.
