  • Manage medical insurance and Workmen Compensation Insurance (WCI), including additions, deletions, endorsements, renewals and claims coordination.

Payroll & Compensation

  • Coordinate monthly payroll with Finance, ensuring accuracy, compliance and timely salary disbursement.
  • Support compensation structures, benefits packages and market benchmarking.

Employee Relations & Engagement

  • Serve as the first point of contact for employee requests, grievances and welfare matters.
  • Handle disciplinary processes and documentation fairly and in line with UAE labour law.
  • Lead engagement, recognition and wellness initiatives that improve morale, reduce absenteeism and strengthen retention.

Performance Management

  • Implement and monitor performance review systems, goal setting and recognition and reward frameworks.
  • Support performance improvement plans, coaching interventions and succession planning.

Training & Development

  • Coordinate training and safety programmes, including safety inductions, toolbox talks and supervisor development.
  • Conduct training needs assessments and deliver or arrange leadership and skills programmes.

Compliance & Audit

  • Ensure full compliance with UAE labour law, company policies and regulatory requirements.
  • Review, update and enforce HR policies and procedures.
  • Support ISO and other audits by maintaining records, preparing evidence and liaising with auditors.

HR Analytics & Reporting

  • Track and report on turnover, absenteeism, headcount, hiring metrics and other HR KPIs.
  • Use data to recommend and implement improvements to HR processes.

Qualifications & Experience

Required

  • Bachelor's degree in Human Resource Management, Business Administration or a related field; a Master's degree in HRM is an advantage.
  • 8+ years of progressive HR experience, including at least 3 years in the UAE or GCC.
  • Strong working knowledge of UAE labour law, visa and Emirates ID processes, WPS and insurance requirements.
  • Proven experience in end-to-end recruitment for both white-collar and blue-collar workforces.
  • Hands-on experience with ERP/HRIS systems (Oracle ERP preferred) and payroll coordination.
  • Experience supporting ISO or similar compliance audits.

Preferred

  • Professional HR qualification (e.g. CIPD, IPM or equivalent).
  • Experience in construction, contracting, facilities management, FMCG, BPO or similar high-volume industries.
  • Background in counselling or employee well-being support.

  • HRIS and ERP database management
  • Performance management and HR analytics
  • Strong communication, conflict resolution and stakeholder management

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
