About the Role: Responsibilities, Skills, and Requirements
Ever considered how much a perfectly pressed shirt or freshly laundered sheet can brighten someone’s day? We’re looking for seasoned Laundry Workers—both Pressers (Ironing Staff) and Washmen—to bring their expertise to our busy laundry facility in Abu Dhabi. If you’ve mastered the art (and science) of professional laundry care and are searching for a reliable, full-time position with a supportive team, this could be the fresh start you’ve been waiting for.
About the Company
Here’s a little about us: we’re a well-established laundry service right in the heart of Abu Dhabi, trusted by locals and businesses alike for our attention to detail and friendly service. Our team is a lively group, always swapping tips on the best stain-removal tricks or the quickest way to get perfect creases. We believe in treating our staff with respect—many of our laundry workers have been with us for years, and we make it a point to celebrate every milestone, big or small. Free accommodation near our facility means most of us are practically neighbors (and yes, we do tend to share more than a few post-shift meals together).

- Operating commercial washing machines and dryers, making sure every load meets our quality standards
- Ironing and pressing linens, uniforms, and garments with care and skill (knowing the difference between a sharp hotel sheet and a gently pressed dress shirt)

- Checking for stains, tears, or repairs needed before, during, and after the washing process
- Folding, hanging, and packaging laundry to keep everything organized and ready for delivery

- Reliability, punctuality, and a genuine commitment to quality
Nice-to-Haves:
- Experience specifically in ironing or pressing for hotels or commercial clients

- Strong teamwork skills—everyone here supports each other
Not sure you tick every box? We’d still love to hear from you.
Why You’ll Love Working Here
- Competitive salary ranging from AED1600–1800 per month, based on your experience
