UAE’s construction boom creates mini-boom in new jobs – but salaries remain steady

Whether it’s a project manager or site worker, there is a job for all as projects pile up

 There is a multi-billion dollar construction boom going on in the UAE – and some strong hiring too.

Contractors, project managers and recruitment consultants say the new workforce intake by the local construction sector is progressing at its fastest in recent times. If there’s anyone available with the required project experience, the candidate will be hired.

There is no way you have project managers with 3-5 year experience in the UAE or Gulf sitting around without work for long,” said a consultant. “It’s that kind of project environment right now.”
