Every great organisation is built on more than strategy and systems. It is built on people—their engagement, their growth, and their sense of belonging. A leading construction company in Dubai is looking for a People & Culture Specialist who understands that culture is not a poster on the wall. It is the way people feel when they walk through the door, the way they connect with each other, and the way they see their future in the organisation.

This is a role for an HR professional who wants to shape the employee experience from the very first day. You will own the end-to-end onboarding journey, ensuring that new hires feel welcomed, informed, and set up for success. You will design and run engagement activities, gather feedback through pulse surveys, and help build a culture that values openness and performance. You will also support leadership development, identify high-potential employees, and coordinate succession planning for critical roles. Your work will touch every part of the employee lifecycle, from pre-joining communication to retention and growth.

The ideal candidate has three to five years of experience in Employee Engagement, People & Culture, Talent Development, or a generalist HR role. You have strong interpersonal and relationship-building skills, with the ability to build trust across a workforce that may be resistant to change. You are an excellent communicator, both written and verbal, with experience drafting internal messaging and content for employer branding. You are comfortable coordinating events, managing programmes, and handling sensitive employee relations matters with empathy and sound judgement. Experience in construction, contracting, or another operationally intensive UAE-based sector is a strong advantage.

Salary:
AED 7,000 – 9,000 per month

To apply:

To make your application stand out, provide specific examples of employee engagement initiatives you have designed or led, including how you measured their success. In your cover letter, detail your experience with onboarding programmes, including how you have ensured new hires integrate smoothly into the organisation. If you have worked in construction or a similar operationally intensive sector, highlight that experience prominently—it is a distinct advantage for this role. Finally, mention your familiarity with LinkedIn content practices and employer branding, as this is a key aspect of the role.

Feel free to share this opportunity with anyone in your network who might be a strong fit.
