Dubai: There is a multi-billion dollar construction boom going on in the UAE – and some strong hiring too.
Contractors, project managers and recruitment consultants say the new workforce intake by the local construction sector is progressing at its fastest in recent times. If there’s anyone available with the required project experience, the candidate will be hired. Instantly.
The United Arab Emirates is on track to surpass Saudi Arabia in the value of awarded construction projects this year as the kingdom slows down on some developments and refocuses its priorities.
The UAE has awarded an estimated $31 billion in projects so far in 2025, outpacing Saudi Arabia’s $20.6 billion, according to data provided by Middle East intelligence platform MEED. If the UAE maintains its lead through year-end, it will be the first time it comes out ahead since 2018.
Sharjah: In a joint effort with Sharjah City Municipality, Sharjah Police are working to create safer construction sites through a new project focused on smart, preventive security.
As part of ongoing efforts to build safer and more sustainable construction zones, Sharjah Police – through Al Saja’a Comprehensive Police Station – launched a field trial in the Al Shanouf area.
The initiative, called ‘Security Monitoring’, was carried out in cooperation with the municipality and local partners.
The goal was to raise safety standards at construction sites by introducing stronger security measures. These included installing surveillance cameras, providing guards round the clock , and conducting regular site visits.
