Who would’ve thought that the local trading site Dubizzle would grow from a simple idea to the giant it now is in Dubai and across the Middle East. We never thought that it would be the place to advertise for staff but we have just placed a listing on Dubzzle to hire our first two employees.

We are looking to hire a metal working familiar with cutting and assembling aluminium extrusions to form doors and windows. We also need someone to help us set up the factory where we’ll be using a number of different aluminium and stainless steel cutting machines to ensure accuracy and quality. These are areas of the business that we (James and Katrina) as founders are not overly familiar with. These are important hires as they need to help guide the setup of the assembly side of the business and grow with us as we expand.

It was also difficult to know when to hire our first employee as there’s risk that they’re underutilised during the initial setup phase as we start to develop a name and grow our client base.

During the week we interviewed a number of applicants and have offered positions to two metal workers from the Philippines. Chris and Junisar have years of metal work experience and both have had supervisor roles in the past. We are confident in their ability to help establish our fabrication systems along with ensuring the completed screens and windows are installed to the highest standards. Welcome aboard the Safety Screens team!
