Tile masons, carpenters, steel fixers, plasterers, painters, gypsum and finishing crews, scaffolders and foremen for UAE contractors and fit-out companies — trade-tested in Manila, from the workforce that finished the Gulf's towers and villas.
The UAE's construction and fit-out sector runs on skilled finishing trades, and Filipino crews have set a standard for tiling, carpentry, gypsum and paint on the Gulf's premium projects for decades. TESDA Masonry, Tile Setting, Carpentry and Scaffolding NC II are the trade pathways; foremen with Dubai and Abu Dhabi project experience are common in the candidate base.
Tile masons lay a set-out to line and level; carpenters build to a drawing; steel fixers read bar-bending schedules; painters and gypsum trades finish to a standard — at Prime Search's Makati facilities, watched live by your site manager. Everything here is subject to applicable UAE MoHRE or free-zone, licensing, attestation and visa requirements.
On the UAE side, your company is the sponsor: a signed job offer, MoHRE work-permit approval (or the free-zone equivalent), an entry permit valid sixty days, then medical, Emirates ID biometrics, contract registration and the residence visa — typically two to four weeks once documents are complete. Roles are classified by MoHRE skill level; levels 1–2 require an attested degree, levels 3–4 a diploma. Our UAE company, licensed for HR consultancy in Dubai, advises on classification, attestation and Emiratisation standing and coordinates the sequence with your PRO — it does not place or supply workers, and the employment relationship is yours.
For construction companies on mainland, note Emiratisation obligations apply to skilled headcount; our Dubai company advises on standing before recruiting.
