• Coordinate with HR, Finance and operational teams to ensure employee records and government information remain accurate.
• Support the timely cancellation and clearance of employment documentation for departing employees.
• Maintain confidentiality when handling passports, identification documents and employee information.

Compliance & Record Management

• Maintain organised trackers for visa, labour, immigration and government documentation across multiple group companies.
• Identify approaching expiries, missing documents or potential compliance issues and escalate them promptly.
• Keep abreast of relevant procedural changes affecting UAE employment, immigration and government services.
• Ensure applications, supporting documents and approvals are properly filed and readily retrievable.
• Provide regular status updates to the Group HR & Admin Manager regarding outstanding applications, renewals and compliance matters.

External Liaison

• Build effective working relationships with government departments, typing centres, medical centres and other external service providers.
• Represent the company professionally during government and regulatory interactions.
• Coordinate external documentation and attestations where required.
• Resolve routine PRO and immigration issues efficiently and escalate more complex matters when necessary.

• Minimum 3-5 years of practical UAE PRO / Government Relations experience.
• Strong hands-on experience managing employment visas, work permits, Emirates IDs, medicals, labour documentation and visa cancellations.
• Practical working knowledge of MOHRE and GDRFA processes and platforms.
• Previous experience supporting a sizeable workforce, preferably including blue-collar, operational or site-based employees.
• Experience working across multiple companies or legal entities would be a strong advantage.
• Strong document-control skills with the ability to track large numbers of visa and employee-document expiry dates accurately.
