• Arrange sampling and testing for satisfactorily completed work and additional quality assurance testing where material quality is uncertain.
• Maintain a detailed daily site diary recording work performed, approvals, rejected activities, labor, equipment, working hours, and significant construction issues.
• Document Day Works activities accurately when contractors perform work under this arrangement.
• Work with inspectors from other disciplines to coordinate multidisciplinary inspection requirements.
• Identify questionable construction practices and report them to the Assistant Resident Engineer or Resident Engineer.
• Escalate contractor failures to follow approved drawings, specifications, or acceptable workmanship standards.
• Collaborate with contractors and engineers to resolve construction discrepancies and technical issues.
• Support preparation of quality control reports, inspection procedures, and project documentation.
• Participate in the development of job safety practices and site safety reporting.
• Enforce applicable quality and safety requirements during field inspections.
• Conduct regular site surveillance to monitor construction progress and workmanship.
• Organize inspection records so that reports, test results, approvals, and supporting documents remain complete and current.
• Maintain a professional and appropriately firm approach when dealing with contractors.
• Participate actively in site health and safety requirements under the direction of project engineering and safety personnel.

Ideal Profile

• Candidates should hold a three-year Diploma in Civil Engineering or a comparable qualification, preferably supported by the required equivalency or degree credentials.
• A minimum of 5 years of construction supervision and inspection experience is required, preferably involving major infrastructure projects in the UAE.
• Relevant exposure may include roads, highways, bridges, utilities, drainage networks, and associated civil works.
