Job description

About the Position

Ports do not sleep. Ships arrive at dawn, crews rotate at midnight, and the paperwork never stops. In a marine environment, HR is not a back-office function. It is the operational glue that keeps a workforce moving. Vgetter, a Dubai-based HR consultancy, is recruiting a hands-on HR & Administration Manager for a client in the marine and shipping sector in Fujairah. This is a role for an execution-focused professional who understands that in field operations, getting the details right is not optional. It is what keeps the business afloat.

This is a role for someone with 3–6 years of UAE HR administration or operations experience, ideally in a marine, shipping, logistics, or manpower supply environment. You will manage day-to-day HR operations, including employee records, contracts, renewals, attendance, leave, and payroll coordination. You will handle onboarding, offboarding, and workforce movement, coordinating with PRO teams for visas, labour cards, and Emirates IDs. You will also support manpower allocation for marine crew and site staff, track visa expiries, and manage office administration and vendor relationships. If you are organised, proactive, and comfortable working in a fast-paced, field-driven environment, this role will suit you.

The ideal candidate has strong practical knowledge of UAE Labour Law, visa processes, and HR documentation. You have experience with attendance and leave management, and you are comfortable supporting blue-collar or site staff. Experience in shipping, logistics, marine, or manpower supply is highly relevant. You are a hands-on manager who leads by example and can coordinate effectively with multiple stakeholders.

This is a full-time, on-site position based in Fujairah, UAE. The salary range is AED 8,000 to AED 9,000 per month.
