Job description

Role Purpose

The Civil Engineer is responsible for the civil and structural engineering scope of capital projects, plant modifications and infrastructure works across cement and grinding plant, as well as for the condition and integrity of the entire cement plant and grinding plant civil and structural infrastructure on an ongoing basis.

Main Duties

• Hold overall responsibility for the civil and structural infrastructure of the entire cement plant and grinding plant, including foundations, buildings, roads, drainage and other civil assets.
• Frequently inspect and assess the actual condition of plant civil and structural infrastructure, tracking deterioration, defects and required repairs.
• Coordinate closely and regularly with the Maintenance and Production teams to plan inspections, repairs and infrastructure upgrades, and to align civil interventions with production schedules and shutdown windows.
• Plan, review and supervise civil engineering works for capital projects across cement and grinding plants, including foundations, storage buildings, civil structures, roads and drainage.
• Review and validate structural design calculations, workshop drawings and load/geometrical data provided by equipment suppliers and EPC contractors.
• Coordinate civil works interfaces with mechanical, electrical, structural steel and process disciplines to ensure clash-free, constructible designs.
• Oversee site civil construction activities, including foundations, concrete works, storage buildings, and support to structural steel erection.
• Manage civil and structural contractors and subcontractors, including scope definition, tendering support, technical evaluation, and on-site supervision.
• Ensure compliance with applicable civil and structural codes, standards and local building regulations.
• Conduct site inspections and quality checks to verify workmanship, materials, and adherence to approved drawings.
• Support geotechnical investigations and ensure foundation designs address actual site soil conditions and equipment loads.
• Prepare and review civil scopes of work, bills of quantities, and cost estimates for new projects, plant modifications and expansions.
• Monitor and control civil project budgets, schedules and progress; report deviations and drive corrective actions.
• Ensure strict compliance with HSE regulations and promote a strong safety culture on civil construction sites.
• Support feasibility studies and technical evaluations for greenfield and brownfield projects.
• Liaise with equipment suppliers to obtain and validate loads, geometrical data and civil interface requirements ahead of new equipment installation.
• Support commissioning and handover of civil works, including as-built documentation and close-out reports.
• Identify, assess and mitigate civil engineering risks throughout project execution.
• Maintain accurate technical records, drawings and civil engineering documentation.
• Collaborate with procurement on civil material and contractor sourcing.
• Support continuous improvement and standardization of civil engineering practices across plants.

Skills & Knowledge

• Strong knowledge of civil and structural design principles for heavy industrial facilities (foundations, concrete structures, structural steel interfaces).
• Familiarity with international codes and standards (ACI, Eurocode, BS, ASCE) and local UAE building regulations.
• Proficiency with civil/structural design and drafting software (AutoCAD, Civil 3D, STAAD.Pro, ETABS or similar); working knowledge of BIM/3D coordination tools (Revit, Navisworks) is a plus.
• Understanding of geotechnical engineering and foundation design for heavy machinery and equipment loads.
• Knowledge of construction methods, quality control, and site supervision practices.
