Receptionist

A well-established engineering and EPC contractor based in Jebel Ali is expanding its front-office team and is looking for a polished, personable Receptionist to be the first point of contact for visitors, clients, and staff. This is more than an answering-the-phone role: you’ll be the face of the company, setting the tone for every guest who walks through the door and every caller who reaches out.

You’ll take true ownership of the front desk — greeting people warmly, keeping the reception area running smoothly, and making sure day-to-day admin never falls through the cracks. It’s an excellent fit for someone who thrives on structure, enjoys people, and wants to build a long-term career with an internationally active engineering and construction company.

What you’ll be doing:

• Greeting visitors, clients, and colleagues with professionalism and warmth
• Managing the switchboard and directing calls and enquiries efficiently
• Keeping records accurate and providing administrative back-up wherever needed
• Liaising across departments to keep office operations running seamlessly
• Coordinating meeting rooms, appointments, and visitor schedules
• Handling correspondence while respecting company confidentiality

What we’re looking for:

• 2–5 years in a receptionist or front-desk role
• Confident, clear English communication, spoken and written
• A professional, composed presence with genuinely good people skills
• Comfortable with MS Office and everyday office systems
• Highly organized with a knack for juggling several things at once
• UAE-based experience is a plus, as is prior exposure to multinational, engineering, construction, EPC, or oil & gas settings
• Mandarin/Chinese or Arabic is a bonus, not a requirement
• Available to start immediately or on short notice

If you enjoy being the calm, capable presence that keeps an office running and want to be part of a serious engineering business, we’d love to hear from you.
