Specialist practice
Manufacturing & Industrial Recruitment
The UAE wants more made at home, and factories here need managers and engineers who can run lines safely and well. We recruit for plant leadership, production, engineering, quality and the supply chain and sales teams that support them.
We'll ask what you make, how your lines run and which standards you work to. A quality manager in food production needs a different background from one in steel or plastics. We look for people who have worked in similar plants and can talk us through how they handled safety, output and cost when things didn't go to plan.

How we can help
Permanent recruitment
You're hiring for the long term. We find, vet and introduce people, and you employ them directly.
Executive search
For director and head-of roles we run a confidential search and approach people who aren't on the market.
Contract hiring
You need someone for a fixed period, to cover a gap or see a programme through. We find and introduce them, and you employ them on a fixed-term contract.
Project-based hiring
A new contract or tender means several hires at once. We plan the roles and timing with you and fill them together. Everyone we introduce joins your payroll, not ours.
You employ the people we introduce. Whether the role is permanent, fixed-term or part of a project, the person joins your company and your payroll. We don't employ, sponsor or second staff ourselves.
For manufacturing and industrial professionals
If you work in manufacturing and industrial and you're thinking about your next move in the Gulf, send us your CV. We'll tell you honestly about the roles we're working on and where you'd fit, and we'll only put you forward with your agreement. We never charge candidates a fee.
