NOC and Permits Engineer (RTA and Dubai Municipality)
KinFitz & Co.
Role:Authorities Liaison Officer (RTA and Dubai Municipality)
Are you the person who knows how to get a road opening permit or a Dubai Municipality NOC over the line, and who has the contacts to make it happen faster?
A fast-growing AI-powered smart mobility company based in Dubai has gone from a handful of pilot sites to hundreds of live locations across the UAE in under two years, backed by major real estate, government and infrastructure partnerships. Every new site needs permits, NOCs and inspections before a single camera goes up. That work currently sits with external consultants and contractors, and it is the thing slowing projects down. The business is bringing it in house.
What’s in it for you
Salary of up to AED 15,000 per month
Medical insurance and visa covered for you and your family
Ownership of the whole authority process rather than one slice of it
Sitting inside the projects team with a direct line to the Head of Projects and the PMO
A business expanding at real pace, where getting approvals moving has visible commercial impact
What you’ll be doing
Preparing, submitting and tracking applications, NOCs and permits with RTA, Dubai Municipality and other authorities
Handling road opening and works permits, traffic diversion approvals and site clearances for works on and beside public roads
Following up on authority comments, resubmissions, approvals and inspections until they close out
Working with internal project teams, consultants and contractors to clear authority requirements
Maintaining authority trackers and giving the projects team regular status updates

What we need
5 years of UAE experience in an authority liaison, approvals or NOC role
Hands on experience submitting to RTA Traffic and Roads and Dubai Municipality, with existing contacts in both
