An Emirates team will host the recruitment drive in Harare today and tomorrow (Wednesday and Thursday) as part of the airline’s global effort to recruit top-tier aircraft engineering and technical talent worldwide.
Successful recruits will be based at the airline’s hub – the vibrant and dynamic city of Dubai – said Emirates’ Country Manager for Zimbabwe Mr Omar Bushlaibi.
“The recruitment initiative will be held in Harare, tapping into one of the world’s notable aviation talent pools.
Both experienced and aspiring aircraft engineers are welcome to attend the recruitment drive where Emirates recruiters will share information about the roles, salary, benefits and life in Dubai,” said Mr Bushlaibi.
“It’s the perfect opportunity for candidates to interact with the airline’s engineers and managers for meaningful insights into the working life, growth opportunities and career progression within Emirates,”
Mr Bushlaibi said Zimbabwean technicians will be part of dynamic team working on one of the world’s largest fleet of aircraft.
“We have invested US$950 million to build a new ultra-modern engineering facility at Dubai World Central. Those who come onboard Emirates will have the opportunity to work, learn, and push the boundaries of engineering and innovation at this new facility, which will be one of the largest and most advanced in commercial aviation,”
“The facility will also be equipped to handle the full gamut of specialist aircraft engineering services. We are building a future-ready workforce capable of supporting our global operations with precision and excellence,” he said.
He added that the recruitment drive in Zimbabwe comes on the back of Emirates Group’s global recruitment of drive of over 17 000 professionals across 350 roles.
