About the Role: Responsibilities, Skills, and Requirements
Ever fixed a stubborn printer or saved the day with a well-timed password reset? As our next IT Technician in Deira, you’ll be the go-to problem solver for all things tech — bridging the gap between people and the systems they rely on. In a fast-paced work environment where uptime matters, your knack for troubleshooting and proactive support will make you a real hero to our team. If you enjoy keeping things running smoothly and genuinely helping people, this could be the perfect fit.

Here, every team member’s voice is valued, and Friday afternoons often turn into impromptu brainstorming sessions (with plenty of snacks on hand). We enjoy rolling up our sleeves, collaborating openly, and celebrating both small wins and big milestones.
