This suits someone who has already spent a few years on Dubai building sites. Ovington Contracting wants construction experience for every role it’s hiring for in Dubai, no exceptions. If you’re newer to the trade, this probably isn’t the walk-in for you. Check that before you head to Business Bay.
Which trades are open and how many places
Eight trades are open, and most of the work is on site. Here’s how the places break down:
- Helpers: 50 places
- Block and plaster masons: 30
- Steel fixers: 25
- Scaffolders: 10
- Tile masons, riggers and tower crane operators: 5 each
- Bobcat operator: 1
That’s about 131 openings, so this isn’t a small team trying to fill one gap.
If you run a tower crane or a bobcat, have your operating history and any certificates ready. They’ll want proof of machine work, not just general site time. Masons, steel fixers and scaffolders should be ready to name specific jobs they’ve finished.
Ovington Contracting LLC, part of the Fakhruddin Group, is also hiring for site management, engineering, supervision, logistics and driving. If you’re in one of those areas, ask about them on the day.

What the company asks for
You need construction experience, and that covers every trade. Expect to show at least two to three years of relevant UAE experience. You also need the skills for the trade you pick. Education and nationality depend on the role, so read the requirements for your exact position before you go.
Two to three years of UAE site work is a lot to fit on one page. List each project with the company name, your job title and the dates. A short list of real projects tells a hiring team more than a long paragraph of general duties. Got experience from outside the UAE? Say so plainly and bring whatever proof you have.
Put your trade at the top of your CV, something like “steel fixer, six years, Dubai and Sharjah.” It reads at a glance. Recruiters often decide in the first few seconds whether a CV fits.
How to attend the walk-in on 11 November
The walk-in is Wednesday, 11 November 2026, from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, at P1, Lake Central Tower, Marasi Drive, Business Bay, Dubai. Today is 10 November, so you’ve got one day to get ready.
- Check the date, time and venue again the morning you leave.
- Print your updated CV, a copy of your passport and passport photos. Bring a few extra CV copies.
- Pick your trade before you arrive so you can talk to the right team fast.
- Arriving early in the window usually means a shorter wait.
- Wear clean work clothes, and bring your own safety boots if you have them.
