The $3.9 billion integrated gaming resort in Ras Al Khaimah begins recruitment ahead of its 2027 opening, with more positions to be added as construction advances
Wynn Al Marjan, the groundbreaking integrated gaming resort under development in Ras Al Khaimah, has officially launched its career page and announced its first wave of job vacancies. This milestone comes as the landmark property continues construction towards its planned opening in early 2027.
Initial Recruitment Phase Begins
As of Thursday, the company has listed seven initial positions:
- Executive Director of Technical Operation
- Procurement Analyst
- IT Application Support Analyst
- Compensation and Benefits Manager
- Contract Services Administrator
- Contract Services Manager
- Talent Acquisition Recruiter
The resort management stated: “We are building something extraordinary — and looking for exceptional people to be part of it. Wynn Al Marjan Island’s career site is now live. If you are ready to help shape the region’s most anticipated destination, this is where it begins.”
Industry experts indicate that additional positions will be announced as the construction progresses, with luxury resorts typically requiring 1.2-1.5 staff members per room. Given Wynn Al Marjan’s extensive gaming area and premium amenities, the total workforce requirements will be substantial.
Resort Features and Development
Upon completion, the $3.9 billion resort will offer:
- 1,542 rooms and suites
- A shopping mall
- Meeting and convention facilities
- A luxury spa
- Over 20 restaurants and lounges
- 225,000 square feet of gaming area
- Entertainment venues including a nightclub and beach club
Construction is advancing at an impressive pace, with one floor being added weekly. The structure reached the 38th floor in March, and the company expects to complete the main building structure by late 2025.
Craig Billings, CEO of Wynn Resorts, described the development as a “must-see” destination in the company’s annual report, noting that the “creative team at Wynn Design and Development is in full force, with a particular focus on Wynn Al Marjan Island.”
Employee Benefits and Accommodation
Wynn Al Marjan has placed significant emphasis on staff welfare, committing to provide “a home away from home” for its multinational workforce, which is expected to represent up to 95 countries.
The planned employee campus will feature:
- Various lounges for relaxation
- TV and media rooms for entertainment
- Recreational facilities including snooker tables and arcade games
- All-day dining offering international cuisines
- Comprehensive transport options with WiFi-equipped shuttle buses
Regional Impact
The announcement of Wynn Al Marjan has generated considerable interest in Ras Al Khaimah’s hospitality and real estate markets. The northern emirate has set an ambitious target to attract 3.5 million tourists by 2030, planning to increase its hotel capacity from the current 8,000 keys to between 16,000 and 20,000.
In October 2024, Wynn Resorts was awarded the UAE’s first commercial gaming operator’s licence by the General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority (GCGRA). This positions Wynn Al Marjan Island as the first integrated gaming resort in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.
Key Takeaway
The launch of Wynn Al Marjan’s career page marks a significant step towards establishing the UAE’s first integrated gaming resort. With its impressive scale, luxury offerings, and comprehensive employee benefits, the development is poised to transform Ras Al Khaimah’s tourism landscape while creating substantial employment opportunities for local and international talent.
