HR Manager

Our client, a well-established UK industrial group, is opening a new industrial facility in Abu Dhabi by the end of 2013. We are recruiting an HR Manager who will lead their manpower planning and HR strategy (100+ staff to be recruited) in coordination with the local General Manager and the UK Head Office.

This is a unique and exciting opportunity for an experienced and dynamic HR Manager with experience in large-scale operations. If you are an individual that “thinks differently,” this opportunity is for you!

You will be expected to maintain and enhance the organization’s human resources by planning, implementing, training, and evaluating employees and human resources policies, programs, and practices.

This individual should have a minimum of 5 years of experience in a similar role within the UAE or wider GCC and possess good English language skills. This individual will think carefully about how we take good care of our people and build high-performing teams. This will involve thinking a little differently and doing things outside of the norm, such as flags and photos of workers’ countries in the laundry, organizing regular sporting fixtures, and having a day when the management team serves food, festival party days, etc.

As well as the standard HR requirements, this candidate should have sound knowledge of UAE labor law and wage structures, excellent computer skills, and effective PR and public speaking skills.

The HR Manager will report to the General Manager and cover the following responsibilities:

1. Manpower Planning & Recruitment
2. Performance Appraisal, Training and Retention
3. Policy and Strategy
4. Information Sharing and Advice
5. Records Management and Attendance
