United Engineering Construction Jobs

Alright, let’s get real for a second—job hunting in the UAE can feel like running a marathon in flip-flops. But every now and then, something actually worth your time pops up. Like this: United Engineering Construction (yep, UNEC, and yes, they’re kind of a big deal) just opened up a bunch of roles. We’re talking serious positions—engineers, architects, project managers, and a whole crew of draftspersons (is that a word? Well, it is now). If you know your way around blueprints and construction sites, you might want to keep reading.

So why the hype? Well for one, these aren’t just another set of dead-end jobs. This company has been around since 1976 which makes them one of the first companies to build Solar since most of us have had a wifi connection!. They’re based in Dubai but have projects all over the region. You’ve probably driven past a few of their buildings without even knowing it. They’re the kind of company you can actually brag about at family gatherings when someone asks, “So, what do you do?”

Senior Architect:

Got some vision and high–octane tech skills? Then become the next creative genius behind iconic architecture!

Senior Technical Engineer & Technical Engineer

They want fixers, not mindless yes–men. – **Architect**: design, not drama. Bring your creative spirit and planning head.

Civil Draftsman & Architectural Draftsman:

They‘re basically the wizards that can turn an abstract idea into a set of plans! If you can present yourself while tossing AutoCAD files around like it costs you nothing, get involved

Project QA/QC Manager:

This is for you if you live for making lists, personal standards and proactivity while ensuring things don’t literally fall apart. –

Contracts Administrator:

You know your stuff and know when the contract is not right; you read the fine print and can see a loophole from a mile away.

Senior Quantity Surveyor – Post & Pre Contract:

Counting beans? Nope. Millions! Get involved if you have a passion for budgets! – **Construction Manager**: The head sheriff sorting it all out for everyone.

Who are they after?

Don’t bother applying if you’ve never set foot on a UAE construction site. They’re after folks with local experience—people who know the difference between building in Dubai summer heat versus, say, London drizzle. Villas or horizontal projects? Even better. And yeah, if you’re already living in the UAE, you’re top of the pile.

But what’s in it for you, really?

Let’s not sugar-coat it—money matters. Their salaries are competitive, and the benefits won’t have you Googling “side hustles to pay rent.” But there’s more. They’re big believers in growth, so if you’re sick of being stuck in a career rut, this could be your ladder. You’ll be working with people who actually give a damn, not just clocking in and out. Plus, regular training means you’ll keep learning (and let’s face it, nobody wants to be the dinosaur in the office).

Real talk about your CV:

. Tweak it for the role. Use their language. If they want someone with “project management skills,” don’t just say you “helped a bit with projects.” Be specific. And for the love of all things holy, keep it readable. Nobody wants to squint through jargon or fancy fonts. Simple, straight, and punchy wins the race every time.

A few pro tips:

– Show, don’t tell. “Led a team of 10 engineers on a villa project” beats “team player” any day.
– Don’t lie. They’ll find out—trust me.
– Keep it to two pages max. Unless you’re applying for CEO, nobody wants your life story.
