If you have driven trucks in the UAE for at least three years, the driver jobs at NCC Catering in Dubai are worth a look. If you have cooked in a busy Gulf kitchen, the chef openings in Abu Dhabi will feel closer to your past work. Both roles are listed right now, but read the requirements closely before you plan a trip.
Driver and forklift jobs in Dubai
NCC Catering is hiring for three vehicle roles: a light duty driver for 3-ton trucks, a heavy duty driver for 7-ton trucks, and a forklift operator. Both driver jobs need a manual licence. In catering, drivers usually move food, kitchen equipment and supplies between sites, so careful driving and good route knowledge matter more than speed.
The listing asks for at least three years of driving experience in the UAE and at least one year of oil field experience. Candidates must be between 25 and 45 years old. It also says candidates from visa-restricted nationalities are not eligible to apply. Oil field experience is an unusual ask for a catering company, so if you don’t have it, ask NCC directly whether it is really needed before you apply.
Read the full advert for any extra conditions before you travel. Small details like licence type and age limits are usually checked at the start, so have your documents ready.

Chef and cook jobs in Abu Dhabi
This is a full-time role based in Abu Dhabi, with a walk-in open day for several culinary posts. The openings range from Arabic cook and bakery man to chief butcher, chapatti maker, Japanese cook, pastry chef and chief salad maker. There are also senior roles like head chef and chief cook for Indian cuisine.
Candidates with previous Gulf experience get preference, and so do people who can join straight away. If you have worked in a hotel or catering kitchen in the Gulf, put that first on your CV. List each kitchen, the cuisine you cooked, and how long you did it. For head chef and chief roles, show that you have run a team and managed food costs.
The listing gives Sunday 1 November 2026 as the interview date, with registration from 9:30 AM to 12:30 PM and interviews from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Today is 9 November 2026, so that date has already passed. Don’t travel on these times alone. Check with NCC Catering for the next open day and the exact venue.
Before you go to a walk-in
Walk-in days are busy, and the people who get seen first are usually the ones who came prepared. Here is what I would do.
- Confirm the date, time and venue with NCC Catering first, especially for the Dubai event.
- Print three copies of your CV and keep a copy on your phone.
- Bring your passport, your Emirates ID or visa copy, and your driving licence or food handler certificates if you have them.
- Arrive before registration opens, and register early in the window rather than near the end.
- Ask before bringing your own tools or knives, and only bring them if the employer says it’s fine.
If you don’t hear back after a walk-in, send one short follow-up message to the company contact you were given. Name the role and the day you attended. Gulf employers can take a few weeks to reply, so wait at least that long before you follow up again.
