About the role: Aviation and aerospace

Aviation is a flagship industry in the UAE, with major international airlines, some of the busiest airports in the world and a growing aerospace manufacturing and maintenance sector. Jobs range from cabin crew and pilots to aircraft engineers, airport operations, ground handling, cargo and air traffic services.

Airlines based in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah recruit cabin crew and pilots internationally, often through assessment days. Airports, ground handling and catering companies need large operational teams, while maintenance, repair and overhaul organisations and aerospace manufacturers hire licensed engineers and technicians. Dubai South, around Al Maktoum International Airport, is a further hub for aviation businesses.

Cabin crew roles focus on customer service, safety and adaptability to a multinational team and irregular rosters. Technical and flight roles require recognised licences and type ratings. Ground operations roles operate around the clock, so shift work is the norm across the sector.
