Cargo Loader

Role overview

MylesPort International is recruiting on behalf of a client — a cargo and packaging company operating in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The client has an open requirement for cargo loaders and hires on renewable two-year employer-sponsored contracts. Cargo loaders handle the physical loading and offloading of consignments inside the facility, working to a dispatch schedule alongside warehouse and packing teams. All activity is indoor.

The package is a monthly salary of AED 1,200, accommodation, transport to and from site, the employer-provided work permit, 30 days annual leave and benefits in line with UAE law. The working pattern is 12 hours a day including a one-hour break, and visa processing is quoted at around ten days once documents are complete.
