Nivee Property; Hyderabad; On-site; INR 1,200,000 - 1,800,000; Full time

Job summary

Nivee Property is seeking an experienced senior construction professional to lead high-rise execution, from deep foundations to curtain wall integration. The role requires supervising formwork cycles, ensuring precise slab cycles, and coordinating MEP and logistics on upper floors.

The ideal candidate will have extensive exposure to high-rise projects (G+15 or higher), proficiency with Total Station, and knowledge of advanced concrete mixes and safety practices.

Qualifications

• Experience in building construction with high-rise projects.
• Expertise in Total Station for transferring coordinates and levels.
• Knowledge of formwork systems such as Aluform, Mivan, Doka, or Cup-lock shuttering.
• Ability to read and interpret Structural, Architectural, and MEP drawings to detect clashes.

Responsibilities

• Oversee deep foundations, basements, and pile integrity tests.
• Monitor core wall, shear wall, slab formwork cycles and curing processes.
• Coordinate vertical transportation and curtain wall interface tasks.
• Lead MEP coordination and ensure pre-slab embedding for utilities.
• Prepare as-built drawings, RA bills, and inspection requests.

Job description

Role & responsibilities

1. Technical Execution & High-Rise Specifics

• Deep Foundations & Basement: Supervise excavation, shoring, and dewatering activities. Oversee the installation of deep pile foundations or diaphragm walls, ensuring pile integrity tests (PIT) and load tests are conducted properly.
• Core Wall & Shear Wall Construction: Monitor the construction of the central core and shear walls, ensuring verticality alignment using Total Stations and plumb bobs for every floor.
• Slab & Formwork Cycles: Manage the rapid cycle of Mivan/Aluminum formwork or conventional shuttering. Ensure slab laying levels are precise and curing compounds are applied correctly to meet the cycle time (e.g., 7-day or 10-day slab cycle).
• Vertical Transportation: Coordinate the installation and protection of lift shafts (OTIS/KONE etc.) and ensure the machine room (or machine-room-less) specifications are met.
• Curtain Wall / Faade Interface: Liaise with the faade team to ensure embedment plates and anchors are cast accurately for the curtain wall installation.

2. Quality Control (High-Strength Materials)

• High-Performance Concrete: Supervise the pouring of high-grade concrete (M40, M50, M60) for columns and shear walls. Conduct strict slump tests and ensure proper vibration to avoid honeycombing.
• Reinforcement: Inspect the high-yield strength reinforcement (HYSD/TMT bars), especially in beam-column junctions, splice locations, and lapping zones as per seismic codes.
• Waterproofing: Oversee waterproofing of podiums, terraces, sunken slabs (bathrooms), and basement retaining walls to prevent leakagea critical issue in tall buildings.

3. Health, Safety & Environment (High-Rise Focus)

• Working at Heights: Enforce strict safety for work at heights, including the use of full-body harnesses, guardrails, and safety nets.
• Material Hoisting: Supervise the safe operation of tower cranes, material hoists (passenger/freight lifts), and concrete pumping operations.
• Edge Protection: Ensure proper edge protection is in place on all floor peripheries and openings to prevent falls.
• Dual Safety Focus: Manage safety for both structural work (fall hazards) and finishing work (fire hazards from welding/solvents).

4. Coordination & Logistics

• MEP Coordination: Closely coordinate with MEP engineers to ensure that sleeves, inserts, and embedments for plumbing, firefighting, and electrical conduits are placed before slab concreting to avoid post-construction chasing (cutting).
• Vertical Logistics: Plan the staggered delivery of materials (blocks, cement, steel) to specific floors without clogging the hoist or crane time.
• Finishing Management: Manage wet trades (plastering, tiling) and dry trades (partitioning) on upper floors while structural work continues on lower floors.

5. Documentation & Billing

• As-Built Drawings: Mark deviations and update as-built drawings, specifically for floor-to-floor heights and column positions.
• Quantity Surveying: Calculate RA bills (Running Account) based on physical work completed at various floor levels.
• Inspection Requests: Generate RFIs (Request for Inspection) for critical high-rise elements like core wall reinforcement and slab concreting.

Preferred candidate profile

Experience: Minimum 5 to 7 years of experience in building construction, with at least 3 completed high-rise project (G+15 or higher) preferred.

Expertise in handling Total Station for transferring coordinates and levels on upper floors.

• Deep understanding of formwork systems (Aluform, Mivan, Doka, or Cup-lock shuttering).
• Knowledge of high-strength concrete mix designs and admixtures.
• Ability to read and interpret Structural, Architectural, and MEP shop drawings simultaneously to detect clashes.
• Proficiency in MS Project or Primavera P6 is a significant advantage for tracking floor cycles.

Key Competencies

• Height Confidence: Must be comfortable working at significant heights and supervising activities on open floors.
• Crisis Management: Ability to handle technical issues like concrete pump blockages, crane breakdowns, or formwork failures quickly.
• Multi-tasking: Ability to manage multiple trades working in the same zone (e.g., plumbers, electricians, and masons working together on a floor).

Work Environment

• 100% site-based within a high-rise construction zone.
• Significant time spent on upper floors, exposed to weather elements.
• Extended working hours are common to maintain slab cycle targets.
