Job Description
Every construction project starts long before the first brick is laid. It starts with the right materials, ordered at the right time, from the right suppliers, at the right price. SSA Ltd, a British construction company operating in Dubai, is looking for a Junior Procurement Officer who understands that procurement is not just about placing orders. It is about keeping projects moving and budgets intact.
This is a role for someone with at least two years of UAE experience in procurement, preferably within the construction or fit-out sector. You will support the procurement team in sourcing materials, obtaining quotations, comparing supplier offers, and preparing purchase orders. You will coordinate with suppliers to ensure timely delivery, track orders, and maintain accurate procurement records. You will also assist with vendor management, resolve delivery issues, and ensure that all purchases comply with project requirements and company policies. If you are organised, detail-oriented, and comfortable working with multiple suppliers and deadlines, this role will suit you.
The ideal candidate has a minimum of two years of procurement experience in the UAE, with a good understanding of construction materials and supplier coordination. You are proficient in MS Office, particularly Excel, and have strong communication and negotiation skills. You are comfortable working in a fast-paced environment and can manage multiple priorities without losing track of details. Immediate availability is preferred.
This is a full-time, on-site position based in Dubai. The salary is up to AED 6,000 per month.

Up to AED 6,000 per month

When you apply, take a moment to make your application stand out. Highlight your experience in procurement within the construction or fit-out sector, including the types of materials you have sourced and the volume of purchase orders you have managed, because this gives the hiring team a clear picture of your capability. In your cover letter, describe how you approach supplier selection and price negotiation, showing that you understand the importance of balancing cost with quality and reliability. If you have experience with procurement software or ERP systems, mention that clearly, as it demonstrates you can step in without a long learning curve. If you have worked with suppliers in the UAE and know the local market, state that explicitly, because familiarity with local vendors is a strong advantage. Finally, confirm your availability to join, as immediate starters are preferred and will be given priority during shortlisting. If you are currently in the UAE and available for an interview, say so, because that makes the process easier for everyone.
Feel free to share this opportunity with anyone in your network who might be a strong fit.
