• Conduct daily site inspections and progress reviews.
• Ensure contractors rectify defective or incomplete work promptly.

• Assist with as-built documentation and final handover.

REQUIRED EXPERIENCE

• 812+ years of civil construction experience, preferably with significant experience in high‑rise residential projects.

• Strong hands‑on experience in RCC structure and residential finishing works.

Performance will primarily be measured on:

IDEAL CANDIDATE

We are looking for someone who is site-oriented rather than purely office-oriented.

Previous experience delivering premium or luxury high‑rise residential projects from RCC through finishing and handover will be given preference.
