About EGA

Emirates Global Aluminium is the world’s largest ‘premium aluminium’ producer and the biggest industrial company in the United Arab Emirates outside oil and gas. Together, we innovate aluminium to make modern life possible. We operate aluminium smelters in Abu Dhabi and Dubai, an alumina refinery in Abu Dhabi, and a bauxite mine and associated export facilities in the Republic of Guinea. Aluminium is among the world’s most versatile metals, and our global customers transform it into products that make modern life possible – from smartphones and building materials to food packaging and car parts. Our aluminium is the biggest made-in-the-UAE export after oil and gas, bringing in billions of dollars of export revenue each year contributing to the diversification of the national economy. Four per cent of the world’s aluminium production or almost half of the aluminium produced in the Gulf Cooperation Council, is made by us. That means approximately one in every 25 tonnes of aluminium is UAE-made.

EGA Recruitment Process

1. Online application submitted through the official EGA careers portal with a tailored CV
2. Eligibility screening — for UAE National roles, nationality verification is the first step; non-eligible applications do not progress
3. CV screening by EGA’s talent acquisition team — technical roles are reviewed with specific focus on industrial environment type and relevant equipment experience
4. Initial HR contact — phone or video screening to confirm background, shift work availability for operational roles, current location and salary expectations
5. Technical interview — for maintenance and operations roles, this involves direct technical questioning on equipment, fault diagnosis and industrial safety knowledge; for legal, this involves a practice area and transaction discussion; for product analyst, a commercial and market knowledge assessment
6. Site or panel interview — for senior roles and operational positions, a visit to the relevant EGA campus (Al Taweelah or Jebel Ali) for a panel interview with department leadership
7. Pre-employment medical — mandatory for all site-based roles; includes fitness assessment for physically demanding operational positions such as Cell Relining Operator
8. Reference and background checks
9. Offer and onboarding including EGA’s mandatory HSE induction and site-specific safety training

EGA’s recruitment process for technical roles can take four to eight weeks given the thoroughness of technical screening and the importance of getting the right fit for a safety-critical industrial environment. Senior roles — Legal Counsel, Senior Product Analyst — may take eight to twelve weeks. UAE National roles may move faster given Emiratisation programme timelines.

Job Alerts and Updates

EGA posts new vacancies on a rolling basis driven by operational expansion, planned maintenance headcount requirements and Emiratisation programme cycles. Maintenance technician roles in particular appear regularly given the ongoing workforce development needs of two large-scale smelter complexes. Create a profile on the official EGA careers portal and set up job alerts to be notified when new roles are posted.
