Technical job seekers in Himachal Pradesh have an opportunity to secure overseas employment in the United Arab Emirates through an upcoming interview session in Shimla. The recruitment process is coordinated through the Himachal Pradesh State Electronics Development Corporation Limited, with a Mumbai-based agency handling selection on behalf of a UAE firm.
Contract Terms, Roles, and Compensation
The recruitment drive focuses on hiring qualified personnel for electrician and fitter trades. Appointed candidates will enter into an initial employment agreement covering a minimum contract period of two years. Selected technicians will draw a basic monthly compensation ranging between 1,100 and 1,300 UAE Dirham, translating to approximately 35,000 rupees per month, alongside overtime allowances provided under service regulations.
Living Support, Flight Allowances, and Perquisites
The sponsoring employer will issue employment visas for the shortlisted candidates. Along with the salary, workers will receive either complimentary meals or an equivalent food allowance, company-provided housing, and workplace transit as per contractual conditions. Entitlements also include one month of annual paid leave and an annual flight ticket allowance set at 2,700 Dirham, equivalent to around 70,000 rupees.

Applicants must hold an ITI certificate or a technical diploma in either electrician or fitter trades. Both fresh diploma holders and seasoned technicians are permitted to participate in the screening. The age bracket for candidates is capped between 20 and 45 years.
