If you have worked for a Main Contractor in this capacity, then our client wants to hear from you. They will not entertain anyone new to the UAE / GCC region as this isn’t a role to learn on the job as they expect individuals to hit the ground running and make an impact.

You will look at risk assessments, build ability, soil samples, program, methods of construction, lifting and cranes placements, and how programs can be reduced. Hands-on experience thinking outside the box on value engineering, design, and delivery.

1. Delivered Projects as No1 on site for a reputable Tier 1 /2 Buildings Main Contractor

This is NOT a hybrid role. You will be based in the Dubai Head office working a traditional 5-day working week from 7.30-8am through to 5.30-6pm. But like anything in construction, you understand there will be long days and hours in preparation for bid submissions. Role will involve travel to meet clients, visiting sites to review potential risks and opportunities.
