Manufacturing plants in the UAE and GCC — from food processing and packaging to metal fabrication and building materials — need production operators, machine operators, quality inspectors, maintenance technicians and engineers. Unfilled roles quickly affect output and uptime.

Cross Border Manpower recruits manufacturing staff from the UAE and our Kenya and East Africa sourcing operation, screening for machine experience, safety awareness and documentation. We support permanent roles, shift expansions and new production lines.
