Ports do not sleep. Ships arrive at dawn, crews rotate at midnight, and the paperwork never stops. In a marine environment, HR is not a back-office function. It is the operational glue that keeps a workforce moving. Vgetter, a Dubai-based HR consultancy, is recruiting a hands-on HR & Administration Manager for a client in the marine and shipping sector in Fujairah. This is a role for an execution-focused professional who understands that in field operations, getting the details right is not optional. It is what keeps the business afloat.

This is a role for someone with 3–6 years of UAE HR administration or operations experience, ideally in a marine, shipping, logistics, or manpower supply environment. You will manage day-to-day HR operations, including employee records, contracts, renewals, attendance, leave, and payroll coordination. You will handle onboarding, offboarding, and workforce movement, coordinating with PRO teams for visas, labour cards, and Emirates IDs. You will also support manpower allocation for marine crew and site staff, track visa expiries, and manage office administration and vendor relationships. If you are organised, proactive, and comfortable working in a fast-paced, field-driven environment, this role will suit you.

The ideal candidate has strong practical knowledge of UAE Labour Law, visa processes, and HR documentation. You have experience with attendance and leave management, and you are comfortable supporting blue-collar or site staff. Experience in shipping, logistics, marine, or manpower supply is highly relevant. You are a hands-on manager who leads by example and can coordinate effectively with multiple stakeholders.

This is a full-time, on-site position based in Fujairah, UAE. The salary range is AED 8,000 to AED 9,000 per month.

Salary:
AED 8,000 – 9,000 per month

To apply:
Send your CV to hr@vgetter.ae with the subject line: "HR & Admin Manager – Fujairah."

When you apply, take a moment to make your application stand out. Highlight your experience in marine, shipping, logistics, or manpower supply environments specifically, because this sector context is a key differentiator for the role and the hiring team will look for evidence that you understand the operational realities of a field-driven workforce. In your cover letter, describe a time you coordinated a complex visa or workforce movement issue—such as a crew rotation, a last-minute replacement, or a visa renewal—and how you resolved it without disrupting operations, showing that you can handle pressure and think on your feet. If you have hands-on experience with PRO coordination, visa tracking, and attendance systems, state that clearly, as these are core responsibilities. If you have managed blue-collar or site staff, mention the size of the workforce and the scope of your coordination. Finally, confirm your UAE experience and your availability to join, as these are preferred requirements. If you are currently based in Fujairah or willing to relocate, say so, because that will help move your application forward more quickly.
Feel free to share this opportunity with anyone in your network who might be a strong fit.
