We are looking for experienced, highly committed and target-oriented QA/QC Engineers for fast-track projects in AlUla.

The main responsibility is to ensure that inspections, consultant comments, NCRs, snags and quality issues are properly tracked, actioned and closed within the required deadlines, while maintaining project quality and supporting construction progress and handover.

• Ensure previous inspection comments and prerequisite works are closed before submitting subsequent WIRs.
• Prepare, submit and actively follow up WIRs, MIRs, inspections, testing records and QA/QC documentation.
• Ensure inspections are raised on time, and works are fully ready before consultant attendance.
• Coordinate directly with Construction, Engineering, MEP, Planning and subcontractors to resolve quality issues quickly.
• Review approved drawings, specifications, ITPs, method statements and material approvals before execution.
• Minimize Code C/rejected inspections, NCRs, repeated comments and rework.
• Drive closure of NCRs, consultant comments, punch lists and snag lists against agreed weekly targets.
• Support testing & commissioning, as-built records and handover documentation.
• Attend consultant/client inspections and provide clear technical explanations when required.
• Maintain strong site presence, including extended working hours or shifts when required by project priorities.

Key Performance Expectations

Performance will be measured mainly against:

• Number and aging of open consultant comments.
• Weekly consultant-comment closure rate.
• Closure of overdue comments against agreed target dates.
• WIR/MIR approval and turnaround time.
• Reduction of Code C/rejected inspections.
• NCR closure performance.
• Reduction of repeated comments and rework.
• Snag and punch-list closure.
• Inspection readiness versus construction programme.
• T&C and handover readiness.
• Achievement of weekly and final project targets.

• Proven experience in fast-track and high-pressure construction projects.
• Experience in luxury hotels, hospitality, high-end fit-out or complex multidisciplinary projects is highly preferred.
• Strong knowledge of drawings, specifications, ITPs, method statements, WIRs, MIRs, NCRs and inspection procedures.
• Saudi Arabia / GCC experience strongly preferred.
• Good English communication, coordination and reporting skills.

Required Profile

The candidate must be:

Hard-working, disciplined, proactive, technically strong, target-driven and highly responsive.

The QA/QC Engineer is expected not only to record comments, but to own the complete closure cycle: identify, register, assign, follow up, verify, reinspect and formally close every consultant comment.

No comment should remain open without a responsible owner, target date and clear closure action.
