- About Riwaq Recruitment
Good People Build Great Things — With 7+ Years of Recruitment Expertise in the Netherlands.
We have grown from a small, family-run initiative into a trusted recruitment partner for organisations looking for more than just manpower. Our foundation was built in community and government-led projects, including urban development, social design, and technical operations. This foundation taught us to deliver with purpose and to always put people at the heart of every solution. Today, we deliver high-quality talent in technicians and specialists across electrical engineering.
At Riwaq, recruitment is about more than placement. We create ecosystems where people thrive, teams grow stronger, and long-term impact is made. Operating proudly from the UAE, we are inspired by its vision and dedicated to contributing to its future through integrity, passion, and excellence.
COMMUNITY-DRIVEN.
QUALITY-FIRST.
MADE IN THE UAE.
- What We See
Rising demand in the UAE for certified tech talent opens new opportunities in supervision, quality control, and electrical engineering roles.
We See:
- Significant potential to strengthen quality control for large-scale electrical installations.
- An opportunity to elevate detail work and finishing standards.
- The need for enhanced safety awareness and full compliance with international regulations.
- A reliance on general labor from Southeast Asia, creating a gap for mid- to high-level expertise.
- Ambitious infrastructure and energy projects demanding skilled, dependable personnel.
- Developers and contractors looking for long-term partnership rather than short-term staffing.
Through our extensive Dutch network, we’ve assembled a pool of certified electricians with proven experience at top-tier clients. To raise the bar in the UAE, we’re deploying these experts—particularly foremen and supervising electricians—to fill skill gaps often covered by general labor.
In the Netherlands, specialized certifications (like NEN) are mandatory for high-stakes tasks, such as working in electrical meter cabinets. These electricians routinely handle everything from replacing circuit breakers to wiring tunnels, always upholding strict safety and quality standards. Our goal is to bring that same level of expertise and reliability to Dubai.

Regarding BAM and Heijmans, technicians/electricians were deployed on utility projects involving construction or providing service and maintenance.
