About Transguard Group

Transguard was set up in Dubai in 2001 and belongs to the Emirates Group, the same group that owns Emirates airline and dnata. It started with security and cash services and has grown into one of the UAE’s biggest outsourcing companies. Gulf News reported revenue of about AED 2.5 billion for the 2022–23 financial year, which gives an idea of its size.

Today its business lines include manned guarding, aviation security, cash services, facilities management and cleaning, outsourced manpower, aviation and limousine services, and hospitality staffing. Most staff do not work in a Transguard office. They are deployed to a client: an airport terminal, a hotel, a bank, a hospital or a government building, and they follow both Transguard rules and the client’s site rules.

Types of Jobs in Transguard Group Recruitment

Security Guard

The biggest single job family at Transguard. Guards control entry points, check passes, patrol floors, watch CCTV, write incident reports and help visitors. In Dubai every guard must hold a licence from SIRA (Security Industry Regulatory Agency), which Transguard normally helps new staff obtain after arrival.

Cash-in-Transit Guard

A more senior security role. Teams move cash between banks, ATMs and businesses in armoured vehicles under strict procedures. Usually needs prior guarding experience.

Cleaner

Cleaners keep offices, airport terminals, malls and washrooms clean, often in teams with scrubber machines and colour-coded equipment. This is the easiest Transguard job to get without experience.

Housekeeping Attendant

Works in hotels and serviced apartments supplied by Transguard’s hospitality staffing arm, cleaning rooms, changing linen and keeping public areas tidy.

Light Vehicle Driver

Drives cars, vans or limousines for staff movement and client services. A valid UAE licence is required. In 2024 Gulf News reported Transguard recruiting limousine drivers for Emirates customers, asking for a UAE licence and two years’ experience.

Heavy Vehicle / Bus Driver

Carries staff and crew between accommodation and work sites. Needs a UAE heavy or bus licence.

Airport Loader

Loads and unloads baggage and cargo at the airport, outdoors and on rotating shifts.

Higher-Paying Roles at Transguard Group

Behind every frontline team sits a management layer. An Operations Manager runs a group of contracts, keeping staff deployed, rosters filled and clients satisfied. An Account Manager owns the relationship with one or more large clients, handles contract terms, reports and invoices, and plans manpower for new sites. Both normally need a degree and years of experience in security, facilities or manpower services.

Transguard Group Salary 2026

Position	Indicative Monthly Salary (AED, approx ₹)
Cleaner	AED 1,000 – 1,600 (approx ₹24,000 – 38,000)
Housekeeping Attendant	AED 1,100 – 1,700 (approx ₹26,000 – 41,000)
Airport Loader	AED 1,500 – 2,300 (approx ₹36,000 – 55,000)
Security Guard	AED 2,000 – 3,000 (approx ₹48,000 – 72,000)
Light Vehicle Driver	AED 2,000 – 3,000 (approx ₹48,000 – 72,000)
Heavy / Bus Driver	AED 2,500 – 3,500 (approx ₹60,000 – 84,000)
Supervisor	AED 3,500 – 5,500 (approx ₹84,000 – 1.32 lakh)
Account Manager	AED 12,000 – 18,000 (approx ₹2.88 – 4.32 lakh)
Operations Manager	AED 15,000 – 22,000 (approx ₹3.6 – 5.28 lakh)

These figures are indicative, based on salary portals, user-reported pay and UAE adverts for similar roles. They are not official Transguard pay scales. Frontline packages are often a basic salary plus allowances, and many staff live in company accommodation, which lowers living costs. Overtime can add to monthly earnings. Rupee values use roughly ₹24 per AED.

Can Indians and Other Foreign Workers Apply?

Yes. Transguard’s frontline workforce is one of the most international in the UAE, and security, cleaning and driving roles are not reserved for UAE nationals. Emiratisation targets apply to private companies, but they mainly affect skilled and office positions, not these frontline jobs.

Understand the sequence clearly. A job offer is only a promise of a job. The visa comes after Transguard applies for your MOHRE work permit, entry permit, medical test, Emirates ID and residence visa. Under UAE Labour Law, the employer bears these costs, and nobody may charge you recruitment fees.

Two more checks apply. Guards in Dubai need a SIRA licence and those in other emirates need the local approval, and drivers need a UAE licence. Indian licence holders usually cannot convert directly and must pass UAE driving tests, so do not accept a driving job offer that ignores this.

Training at Transguard Group

Because Transguard staff represent the company at airports and high-profile buildings, training is taken seriously.

Induction and Grooming
