About the role: Administrative assistant

Administrative assistants keep offices running: managing correspondence, diaries, files, purchase requests and the many small tasks that support a team. In the UAE, the family also includes secretaries, receptionists with admin duties, office managers, document controllers on projects and roles that handle government transactions for staff.

Almost every sector hires administrative staff, from construction and engineering firms to schools, clinics, government entities, free zone companies and family businesses. Document controllers are in particular demand on construction and energy projects, where they manage drawings, transmittals and revisions in document management systems.

Employers look for strong organisation, discretion and excellent written English; Arabic is a real asset for roles involving government departments or local clients. Proficiency in Microsoft Office and familiarity with an ERP or HR system make a CV stand out.
