• Plan the sequencing of fit-out trades so that interfaces between civil, architectural, MEP, joinery, and finishing activities are properly controlled.
• Supervise installation of partitions, ceilings, flooring, wall finishes, painting, doors, ironmongery, joinery, and decorative elements.
• Coordinate with joinery and factory teams for bespoke furniture, cabinetry, doors, wall panels, and manufactured interior components.
• Verify dimensions, interfaces, finishes, and installation requirements before manufactured items are released or installed.
• Inspect completed works for conformity with approved drawings, project specifications, samples, and required workmanship standards.
• Work with QA/QC personnel on inspection requests, snagging, testing, defect identification, and closure of outstanding items.
• Monitor material requirements against the construction program and coordinate timely deliveries to site.
• Check material storage, handling, availability, and utilization to minimize damage, shortages, and disruption to scheduled works.
• Identify site constraints, design conflicts, technical problems, and potential schedule risks at an early stage.
• Develop practical technical solutions and coordinate required approvals before corrective work proceeds.
• Maintain progress reports, material status records, technical correspondence, and other project documentation.
• Coordinate subcontractor activities and monitor performance against assigned scope, quality expectations, and completion dates.
• Participate in site meetings, technical coordination sessions, inspections, and progress reviews.
• Ensure fit-out activities comply with project HSE procedures and applicable UAE requirements.
• Support commercial and cost control teams by identifying variations, additional works, and changes affecting the original scope.
• Provide technical guidance to site engineers, supervisors, draftsmen, and subcontractor personnel.
• Coordinate final snagging and ensure outstanding defects are rectified before handover.
• Support preparation of as-built drawings, O and M documentation, inspection records, handover files, and project close-out requirements.
