Is Arabtec Still Hiring? What Nepalese Job Seekers Need to Know

The Rise and Fall of Arabtec Construction
Arabtec Construction LLC was once one of the most well-known construction companies in the Middle East, with mega-projects like the Burj Khalifa, Abu Dhabi Airport Expansion, and Louvre Abu Dhabi to its name. It had thousands of workers, many of them Nepalese, who found solid employment and career opportunities through this company.
However, in September 2020, Arabtec Holding PJSC—the parent company—announced its liquidation due to severe financial losses and project delays.
So, is Arabtec still hiring in 2025?
Short Answer: No.
Arabtec as a company is no longer operational. It has ceased all core activities, and many of its assets have been transferred or dissolved.
Arabtec Construction कम्पनीले विगतमा युएईमा ठूला ठूला प्रोजेक्टहरूमा काम गर्दै हजारौं नेपाली कामदारहरूलाई रोजगारी दिएको भए पनि अब त्यो कम्पनी पूर्ण रूपमा बन्द भइसकेको छ। सन् 2020 मा घाटाका कारणले कम्पनीले लिक्विडेसन घोषणा गरेको थियो र अहिले कुनै पनि आधिकारिक रूपमा भर्ती गरिरहेको छैन। अझै पनि कतिपय एजेन्टहरूले Arabtec को नाम प्रयोग गरी नक्कली अफरमार्फत नेपालीहरूलाई ठग्ने प्रयास गरिरहेका छन्, त्यसैले सतर्क रहनु जरुरी छ। वास्तविक रोजगारको लागि मान्यता प्राप्त म्यानपावर कम्पनीहरू र आधिकारिक वेबसाइटहरूबाट मात्रै आवेदन गर्नुहोस्।
Why Are Some Agents Still Using the Arabtec Name?
Even after its closure, some manpower agents or recruiters still mislead job seekers—especially in Nepal, India, and Bangladesh—by:
-
Using the name “Arabtec” to attract applicants.
-
Posting fake job offers or redirecting applicants to unrelated projects.
-
Charging high processing fees for non-existent jobs.
This is a serious red flag.
