Job Description
Infrastructure projects do not build themselves. They are built by people—engineers, technicians, project managers, and the workforce that brings the plans to life. TAMAS Projects, an Abu Dhabi-based infrastructure utility leader operating since 1978, is looking for a Recruitment Manager to lead its talent acquisition function. This is a role for an experienced recruitment professional who understands that in the construction and utilities sector, finding the right people is not just an HR task. It is a business-critical operation.
This is a senior role for someone with eight to ten years of recruitment experience, with a strong background in infrastructure, construction, or contracting. You will lead end-to-end recruitment across the organization, from workforce planning and sourcing strategy to selection, offer management, and onboarding. You will work closely with business heads and key stakeholders to determine headcount requirements, develop annual recruitment plans, and ensure that TAMAS attracts and retains the talent needed to deliver its projects. You will also manage the recruitment team, build talent pipelines, and drive improvements in the hiring process. If you have a proven track record of recruiting for large-scale infrastructure or construction projects and are ready to take ownership of a recruitment function, this role will suit you.
The ideal candidate has at least eight to ten years of recruitment experience, with a significant portion spent in the infrastructure, construction, or contracting sectors. You have experience in workforce planning and end-to-end recruitment, and you are comfortable managing multiple vacancies across different disciplines and levels. You are a strong leader, a clear communicator, and a strategic thinker who can align recruitment efforts with business goals. Immediate availability is preferred.
This is a full-time, on-site position based in Abu Dhabi. Compensation is commensurate with experience.

When you apply, take a moment to make your application stand out. Highlight your experience recruiting for infrastructure, construction, or contracting organizations specifically, including the types of roles you have filled, the volume of hires you have managed, and the scale of the projects you have supported, because this is the core requirement for the role and TAMAS will look for evidence that you understand the sector's talent landscape. In your cover letter, describe a time you developed a workforce plan or recruitment strategy that directly supported a major project delivery, showing that you can think strategically about talent needs rather than just reacting to vacancies. If you have experience managing a recruitment team or building talent pipelines for hard-to-fill technical roles, mention that clearly. If you are familiar with the Abu Dhabi market and its regulatory environment, state that explicitly. Finally, confirm your years of experience and your availability to join, as these are key requirements for the position. If you are currently based in Abu Dhabi and available for an interview, 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.
