Wednesday 4 November 2026 turns to the people who buy, source and move what a business runs on: procurement engineers, sourcing managers, hotel purchasing staff and supply chain leads. We opened fifteen Bayt adverts on Wednesday morning. Seven name Dubai as the work location, two Abu Dhabi and two Ras Al Khaimah, and four are listed for the UAE as a whole. China Tiesiju, a contractor on a Ras Al Khaimah wastewater project, wants a procurement manager and a procurement engineer, KBR needs a procurement manager for an ADNOC Offshore project, and Larsen & Toubro is hiring for solar and battery storage work. Most posts ask for several years of experience, and a few accept two.

Procurement recruiters look for proof that you can buy well, so name your categories, the ERP you used and one saving you can explain, check each advert’s minimum years before you apply, apply only through the Bayt advert or the employer’s careers page, and never pay a fee to be shortlisted.

Project sites, sourcing desks and hotel storerooms: where the fifteen buying roles sit

Project buying makes up the largest group. China Tiesiju’s two Ras Al Khaimah posts serve a project that includes a 60,000 m³ per day treatment plant, a pump station and sewer and treated-water networks; the manager plans sourcing and tenders for valves, pumps and treated-water equipment and needs at least 15 years in total, while the engineer compares prices and bids for pipes, fittings, concrete and reinforcing steel and needs at least five. Arabian Construction Company’s procurement engineer in Dubai issues RFQs, collects at least three quotations and raises local purchase orders for construction materials, and asks for a civil or architectural engineering degree with eight years in construction procurement. KBR’s procurement manager leads buying for a major ADNOC Offshore project from the client’s or the contractor’s office in Abu Dhabi. Larsen & Toubro lists two solar posts: a procurement manager for battery energy storage (BESS) EPC projects and a supply chain manager for solar EPC work who needs 12 or more years and a certification such as CSCP or CPSM. Eaton’s NPI procurement project manager in Dubai manages suppliers for new engineer-to-order products from early development to serial production.

Corporate sourcing, hotels and logistics fill the rest. Al Tayer Group’s senior sourcing manager runs high-spend category sourcing and asks for at least seven years in a similar procurement role. MIRAL, which operates attractions on Yas Island and other Abu Dhabi sites, wants an ERP supply chain senior manager with more than ten years of Oracle Fusion procurement and inventory work. Michael Page’s procurement operations analyst in Abu Dhabi, hired for a financial services client, prepares spend reports, keeps supplier data clean and supports ERP projects. Hotels need buyers too: Marriott Hotels & Resorts lists a multi-property purchasing manager who orders food and beverage with the executive chef, and Element, also a Marriott brand, a purchasing supervisor who receives deliveries, checks invoices and audits stock. On the logistics side, Agile Consultants is recruiting a logistics coordinator for a steel manufacturer, DMC a senior supply chain manager for a Dubai pharmaceutical distributor, and Delivery Hero SE, whose advert describes talabat, a data analytics manager for its rider logistics products.

  • Project procurement: two Ras Al Khaimah wastewater posts, a Dubai construction engineer, an ADNOC Offshore manager and two Larsen & Toubro solar roles
  • Category and corporate sourcing: Al Tayer Group, Eaton and a financial services client through Michael Page
  • Hotel purchasing: a multi-property manager and a supervisor at two Marriott brands
  • Supply chain systems and logistics: an Oracle Fusion lead at MIRAL, talabat logistics analytics, a pharmaceutical supply chain head and a steel logistics coordinator

Fifteen procurement and supply chain listings checked on Bayt, 4 Nov 2026

We opened every link below on 4 November 2026 while writing this roundup, and each led to a Bayt advert still taking applications. Bayt’s card on each one showed at least 38 days before it closes, and no advert text gives an earlier date. Job titles are copied as Bayt shows them; “Job Title: Procurement Manager” is KBR’s literal title on Bayt. Employers are named as Bayt lists them, with two shortenings: China Tiesiju stands for Bayt’s “CHINA TIESIJU CIVIL ENGINEERING GROUP CO LTD - RAK Branch”, and KBR is listed as KBR Inc. Michael Page, Agile Consultants and DMC are recruiters whose adverts describe the client without naming it. Marriott Hotels & Resorts and Element are both Marriott International brands, so we count them together as two roles; China Tiesiju and Larsen & Toubro also have two each, and no employer or group has more than two. Four posts show only “UAE” on Bayt; KBR’s advert places the work in Abu Dhabi and MIRAL’s describes its Abu Dhabi attractions. Some adverts state preferences or ask for local experience: Delivery Hero SE says Arabic is a plus but not essential; Eaton calls other European languages an advantage; Al Tayer Group wants procurement experience ideally within the UAE; KBR strongly prefers ADNOC project experience; China Tiesiju prefers wastewater and pipeline experience and, for the engineer, certificates approved by Ras Al Khaimah municipality; and Agile Consultants makes hands-on Hamriyah Customs experience mandatory and asks for Dubai Customs and E-Mirsal knowledge, and DMC asks for a strong understanding of UAE customs regulations. Agile’s Bayt box says no experience is required, but its advert asks for at least three years. Pay is not shown here, so ask for the full package in writing, and we left out adverts open only to one group of applicants, adverts set in another country and adverts that required Arabic, a particular spoken language or an age range.

Apply tip: lead your CV with categories, spend and systems

Procurement hiring managers look for three things first: what you bought, how much spend you handled and which systems you used. Put them in your CV headline and first bullet points, for example “Procurement Engineer | Construction materials & subcontracts | SAP | 8 years”. Then give each past job one line that names its categories, such as pipes and fittings, food and beverage or electrical equipment, plus a saving or delivery result you can explain in an interview. Match the system names to each advert. MIRAL wants Oracle Fusion Procurement and Inventory and an Oracle Fusion Procurement certification, Al Tayer Group asks for ERP experience with Oracle or JD Edwards preferred and SAP Ariba desired, and Arabian Construction Company names SAP ERP. Read the experience line before you apply. China Tiesiju’s manager post asks for at least 15 years in total, Larsen & Toubro’s supply chain manager 12 or more and Al Tayer Group at least seven, while Michael Page’s analyst post asks for two to five years and Element’s supervisor two years of related work plus one year of supervising others. If you hold a certification such as CIPS, CSCP or CPSM, put it beside your name.

Questions a procurement or supply chain interview often includes

Expect process questions plus a short case about a supplier problem, and for senior posts a discussion of how you would set up or improve a sourcing plan.

  • Walk us through how you compare three quotations that differ on price, delivery time and specification.
  • A key supplier says a shipment will arrive three weeks late. What do you do first?
  • How do you decide which spend categories to put out to tender and which contracts to renew?
  • Which ERP reports do you open every week, and what do you look for in them?

Supplier fraud, invoice requests and recruiter fees

Buying jobs carry a risk that other roles do not. Be wary of any “employer” that asks you to approve an invoice, open a supplier account in your own name or pay a vendor registration charge before your contract starts. No genuine employer needs money from you to look at your CV, and a real procurement team does not ask a new hire to move funds outside its approval process. Three of these posts come through recruiters, so read our guide to safe Gulf recruitment agencies before you share passport or degree copies.

  • A fee to register, shortlist or “process” your application
  • A request to buy goods or pay a supplier on the company’s behalf before you join
  • An offer letter with no interview and no named hiring manager
  • A recruiter writing from a free webmail address while claiming to represent a large contractor
  • Pressure to sign or pay within a few hours

Documents to keep ready for a procurement recruiter

Procurement and supply chain employers often check qualifications and references closely, so keep these ready. If an employer asks for an attested degree, our degree attestation guide explains the steps before you pay anyone.

  • A one-page CV listing the categories you bought, the systems you used and any savings you can prove
  • Degree certificate and transcript, plus any CIPS, CSCP, CPSM or Oracle certificates
  • Two references from managers who saw your tenders or supplier negotiations
  • A short list of ERP modules you have used, such as SAP MM, Oracle Fusion Purchasing or JD Edwards
  • Passport photo page, scanned in colour

The Bottom Line

Procurement engineers and managers, sourcing leads, hotel purchasing staff, an Oracle Fusion supply chain lead, a logistics coordinator and a logistics data manager make up Wednesday’s fifteen openings: seven in Dubai, two each in Abu Dhabi and Ras Al Khaimah, and four listed for the UAE. Lead your CV with categories, spend and systems, check each advert’s experience line, and apply only through the Bayt links above or the employer’s own careers page.
