National Food Products Company (NFPC) is a household name in the UAE. If you drink Oasis Water or Lacnor Juice, you are consuming their products. With over 4,500 employees, they operate a vast supply chain from their Mega Plant in Abu Dhabi (Kizad) to distribution centers in every Emirate.
For job seekers, the biggest volume of hiring happens in Logistics and Sales. NFPC operates a huge fleet of delivery trucks, creating constant demand for drivers and sales reps who can handle the UAE heat and hit sales targets.
The “NFPC” Reality: Route vs. Plant
The work environment varies significantly:
1. Van Sales Representative (VSR)
- The Role: You are the driver and the salesman. You drive a 3-ton pickup (Manual Gear) to groceries and supermarkets to sell/deliver products.
- The Pay: It is Salary + Commission. If you don’t hit your target, the base salary is modest. If you hit targets, you can earn well.
- The Requirement: A UAE Manual Driving License is non-negotiable.
2. The Mega Plant (Kizad)
- The Location: The factory is in Kizad (between Dubai and Abu Dhabi). It is a high-tech facility.
- The Jobs: Machine Operators (filling lines), Technicians (maintenance), and Quality Control.
- The Commute: Company buses transport staff from accommodation camps, but the commute can be long depending on where you live.
3. Merchandising (In-Store)
- The Role: You work inside Hypermarkets (Carrefour/Lulu).
- The Job: ensuring Oasis water and Lacnor juices are arranged neatly on the shelves, checking expiry dates, and fighting for shelf space against competitors like Al Rawabi.
