About the Role: Responsibilities, Skills, and Requirements
Ever thought about becoming the linchpin that keeps construction sites ticking like clockwork? We're looking for a Storekeeper with a construction background to join our busy team in Al Quoz, Dubai. If you’re already in the UAE and passionate about order, reliability, and keeping projects running smoothly, this isn’t just another job—it’s an opportunity to bring your skills to real, high-impact work. Whether you’ve looked after supplies on a sprawling high-rise or supported a fast-moving fit-out crew, you know how crucial your expertise is in this industry.
About the Company
We’re a well-established contracting company with a downright bustling materials yard in Al Quoz—think cranes overhead, delivery trucks coming and going, and a team that prides itself on precision. Our office culture finds energy in the everyday hustle, but there’s plenty of camaraderie, too. Everyone here, from the engineers to the crew on the ground, values clear communication and resourcefulness. We’re driven by deadlines, but we celebrate project wins (and birthdays) together, and you’ll always find someone willing to help you get up to speed.

- Inspecting incoming deliveries for quality and quantity; reporting any shortfalls or damages
- Creating clear, concise handover notes at the end of every shift
- Lending a hand with monthly inventory audits and assisting with logistics as needed

- Familiarity with construction materials, suppliers, and local lingo
- The ability to work legally and currently residing in the UAE
Nice-to-Haves:
- Forklift or pallet jack experience (but if not, we’ll show you the ropes)
