Construction Manpower in the UAE

Every project phase calls for a different mix. Structural work needs steel fixers, masons and carpenters; fit-out brings in electricians, plumbers, painters and technicians; general helpers support throughout.

Tell us the trades, the numbers and the experience level you need, and where the site is. Trade tests and certification requirements are worth flagging early, because they shape how candidates are screened.

Contractors who employ their site workforce directly usually choose International Recruitment & Placement. We coordinate with recruitment partners in Nepal, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Cameroon, Ghana and the Philippines to source and screen candidates against your trade requirements, then shortlist them for your team.

Your team conducts the main interview and any trade assessment, makes the selection, and completes the employment and visa/work-permit process under its own arrangement.

Managed Workforce Supply suits projects that need operational manpower on site without the employer running the hiring and administration. Depending on what is agreed, the arrangement can cover sourcing, deployment to the site, accommodation, transportation, payroll, and attendance and approved timesheets.

Site workforce requirements change as a project moves through its phases. Share the programme alongside the headcount so our team can discuss how the arrangement should be structured.

Use the Request Workforce form and add a line for each trade with the number of workers required. Include the site location, the working hours and the expected start date so our team can respond with something useful rather than a generic reply.
