Job description

The Site Inspector (Civil and Arch) carries out day-to-day quality inspection of civil, structural and architectural finishing works at the off-site factory and on site. The role checks the Contractor's completed work against the approved drawings, specifications and inspection and test plans, and verifies the agreed hold and witness points before the works proceed.

Job Description & Responsibilities:

Key responsibilities of the QA-QC Site Inspector (Civil and Arch) on the modular building construction supervision team:

• Inspect civil, structural and architectural finishing works each day against approved drawings, technical specifications and the agreed inspection and test plan (ITP), recording results clearly and on time.
• Carry out inspections in-factory on the off-site modules and on site for foundations, earthworks, infrastructure, concrete, structural steel, module installation and external works.
• Check that the Contractor's method statements (MS) and inspection and test plans (ITP) are approved and in place before inspecting the related activity.
• Run an inspection-readiness check before any hold point is opened, confirming the prerequisites, prior inspections and approved materials are all in place.
• Witness and clear the Contractor's material inspection requests (MIR) and work inspection requests (WIR) at each hold and witness point, accepting compliant work or returning it for rectification, and stop any work being covered up before it is inspected.
• Witness concrete, reinforcement, formwork, compaction and structural steel inspections, including pre-pour checks, and witness material and field testing run by accredited third-party laboratories.
• Witness non‑destructive testing (NDT) on structural welds and review the reports, and check welding against the approved Welding Procedure Specification (WPS) and Procedure Qualification Record (PQR).
• Inspect architectural finishing trades, including blockwork, plaster, partitions, flooring, doors and painting, against specification and approved samples.
• Verify the calibration certificates of test and measuring equipment before that equipment is relied on for acceptance.
• Raise, log and track Inspection Requests and Non-Conformance Reports (NCRs), keep the punch and snag lists, and carry out first-check verification of installed and progress quantities to support payment, distinct from the Quantity Surveyor's approval.

Qualifications & Experience:

• Diploma or bachelor's degree in civil engineering or a related technical discipline.
• Minimum 8 years in civil, structural and architectural finishing QA/QC inspection on building and infrastructure works.
• ISO 9001 Internal Auditor is required; ISO 9001 Lead Auditor is preferred, with practical command of inspection and test plans, hold and witness points and Non‑Conformance Report management.
• ASNT / SNT-TC-1A or ISO 9712 Level II in relevant methods is preferred; the inspector witnesses non‑destructive testing (NDT) and reviews reports, and does not perform it.
• Working command of concrete, reinforcement and structural steel inspection, and awareness of Welding Procedure Specification and Procedure Qualification Record (WPS/PQR) checking.
• Experience on modular, prefabricated or precast construction or Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA) programs is an advantage, and a precast or steel fabrication‑shop QA-QC background counts toward it.
• Fluent with mainstream project and supervision systems (for example Primavera P6, Aconex and AutoCAD), and quick to adopt the Consultant's in-house systems.
• Saudi or Gulf (GCC) construction‑supervision experience and familiarity with the Saudi Building Code (SBC) are highly preferred.
• Good written and spoken English for inspection records and reporting; Arabic is an advantage.
• Open to international and Saudi candidates, who must be legally eligible to work in Saudi Arabia. The role is based across multiple cities in the Kingdom, and some travel may be required.
