Background
Since 1998, Havelock One Interiors has established itself as a leading turnkey fit-out service provider in the Middle East. We specialise in interior contracting and the manufacturing of bespoke joinery, metal works and sophisticated shop-fittings.
As a result of expansion in a key growth market – Bahrain – we are seeking to hire a well-qualified Estimating Manager to help with taking our business forward. Therefore, we are offering interviews to suitable candidates who are looking to evolve their careers. We offer an established work environment and a loyal and respectful corporate culture.
Established more than 20 years ago, Bahrain is our operational hub, split across two strategic locations: Askar is home to our specialist joinery and metal-work manufacturing business as well as most corporate functions. Our contracting arm, Interior Solutions, is based in Sanabis, close to Manama – and, hence, easily reachable for clients and consultants.
