Dubai offers a range of government job opportunities for skilled expatriates, with monthly salaries reaching up to Dh30,000. From healthcare and IT to urban planning and education, these roles not only promise financial stability but also come with added benefits and long-term growth.
Hiring activity in the United Arab Emirates surged in April, marking the sharpest job gains in 11 months, according to the latest Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) data from S&P Global, Gulf News reported.
The increase reflects a positive turn for jobseekers following a relatively slow period that lasted from late 2023 through early 2024. Rising workloads in the industrial and construction sectors largely drove the hiring boost.
April’s PMI remained steady at 54, signalling sustained expansion in business activity. Any reading above 50 indicates overall economic growth and health. Despite ongoing global uncertainties, businesses in the UAE remain optimistic about continued growth through mid-2025.
Government jobs in UAE attract expatriates
While most expatriates in the UAE are employed in the private sector, many aspire to transition into government roles, which are generally seen as more stable and offering better benefits.
Though preference is often given to UAE nationals, several government institutions open positions to skilled expats in sectors such as healthcare, education, IT, urban planning, and social care.
