General Helper — Cargo Handling

Role overview

MylesPort International is recruiting on behalf of a client — a cargo and packaging company operating a facility in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The client has confirmed an open manpower requirement for general helpers and takes candidates on renewable two-year employer-sponsored contracts. All work is indoor. Helpers support the packing, sorting and movement of cargo inside the facility, working as part of a shift team in a fast-paced environment. The client provides accommodation, transport to and from site, the work permit and benefits in line with UAE law. The monthly salary is AED 1,200, the working pattern is 12 hours a day including a one-hour break, and annual leave is 30 days. The client accepts both skilled and unskilled candidates and selects on attitude, physical fitness and reliability rather than formal qualifications, which makes this a genuine entry route into the Gulf logistics sector. Visa processing is quoted at around ten days once documents are complete, so candidates who already hold a valid passport and police clearance progress fastest. Intake numbers are flexible and depend on the profiles presented, so applications are reviewed and submitted to the client on a rolling basis.
