Looking for a role where your skills keep a whole community running smoothly? As a Plumber at Apricot Towers in Silicon Oasis, Dubai, you’ll be more than just a fixer — you’ll be a key player in shaping comfortable, functional spaces for both residents and businesses.

About Us
At Apricot Towers, we’re not just another address in Silicon Oasis — we’re a vibrant mix of homes and workplaces with a reputation for quality, safety, and a little bit of heart. Our maintenance crew is known for its camaraderie (yes, team breakfasts are a tradition), and we pride ourselves on keeping every corner of our properties running like clockwork. Here, you’ll find a team that values reliability, open communication, and a hands-on approach to solving problems.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Install and maintain pipes, valves, fittings, drainage systems, and fixtures (think sinks, toilets, water heaters — the works) across both residential and commercial units.

- Document repairs and maintenance, keeping clear, accurate records for compliance and safety.
- Advise property managers and tenants on plumbing upgrades, maintenance tips, and cost-effective solutions.

- Previous experience working in mixed-use properties or high-rise buildings.
- Familiarity with eco-friendly plumbing solutions or smart home systems.
- Good communication skills in English; basic Arabic is a plus.
- Flexibility to handle after-hours or emergency calls.
Not sure you tick every box? We’d still love to hear from you.
