Amazon has announced the creation of 1,500 direct and indirect jobs across the UAE this year, as it expands its footprint in support of the country\u2019s acceleration towards a digital economy. As demand evolves, the expansion will help the company better serve customers and communities by delivering a smarter, faster, and even more consistent experience.<\/p>\n

Amazon is fostering job creation as it increases its fulfillment centre storage capacity by 60%, offering a wider selection of products to customers. By the end of 2021, the company\u2019s storage space in the UAE will be spread over more than 3.7 million cubic feet \u2013 which is equivalent to approximately 40 Olympic-sized swimming pools- enablingAmazon to store millions of products for businesses. The expansion also creates additional jobs through its sellers and delivery partners. The company is adding four new delivery stations that will increase its total area by70%, speeding up the handling of deliveries and bolstering reach.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are scaling our operations to support the customer experience, getting people across the UAE what they want, when they want, wherever they are. Our expansion is underpinned by our support of the UAE\u2019s growing digital economy, as we continue to invest in people, process and technology,\u201d said Prashant Saran, Director of Operations for Amazon Middle East and North Africa (MENA). \u201cAs we accelerate our culture of innovation to better serve customers, we are excited to become an enabler of opportunity for talent in the UAE. We offer an enriching environment where employees can learn and grow all within a modern workplace that has an uncompromising focus on safety. Amazon\u2019s investment reflects our long-term commitment to the communities in which we operate, as we continue to grow sustainably and responsibly,\u201d added Saran.<\/p>\n

The company has a rich history of inventing and introducing cutting-edge technology to assist employees and keep them safe while delivering for customers. Amazon\u2019s expansion in the UAE creates a diverse range of job opportunities, enabling new career paths to benefit the nation\u2019s talent pool.<\/p>\n

The operations expansion in the UAE will be delivered through a pipeline of new openings, closure of older buildings and upgrades, designed to deliver a better experience for Amazon\u2019s customers. It is anchored by Amazon\u2019s commitment to building sustainable operations as it expands across the region.<\/p>\n

Today, the Amazon network across the UAE comprises two fulfillment centres, eight delivery stations, three sorting centres, and a network of Delivery Service Partners. As Amazon continues to grow its footprint in the UAE, the health and safety of its employees, customers and partners remains paramount. The company has changed more than 150 processes in its logistics network to date and invested more than $11.5 billion globally in 2020 related to COVID-19.<\/p>\n
