Drake & Scull International (DSI), the UAE-based provider of mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) contracting is holding an open day to recruit new talent from the growing number of skilled workers available in the country.
DSI has recruited 725 new staff in the last six months for its regional operations, and is now looking to fill more than 100 new positions, ranging from back office operations to project managers and directors for all its business streamlines.
The open day will be held at DSI's offices in Dubai Investment Park, on Saturday, from 9am and will run until all the applicants are through.
DSI chief corporate affairs officer Zeina Tabari, said the company wanted to take advantage of all the talent which is currently available due to the recent layoffs in the UAE in a bid to help DSI's plans for large scale growth and expansion over the coming year.
"As a large-scale contracting company, right now we are faced with a valuable opportunity which enables us to secure a lot of the skill we require," she said.
"We have a very wide and comprehensive expansion plan for DSI, for which we need the best staff available. This is the perfect opportunity to recruit some of the top minds which have been working in the industry in recent years."
The company intends to expand its existing civil contracting and MEP services business in response to growth in existing markets. DSI will also add new capabilities to its portfolio, enhancing opportunities for growth.
