About the Role: Responsibilities, Skills, and Requirements
Introduction
There’s something deeply satisfying about watching a project come together from the first sketch to the final inspection, isn’t there? As our new Civil Engineer based in the vibrant heart of Al Majaz 3, you’ll get to experience that thrill firsthand—designing, overseeing, and bringing to life a range of infrastructure and building projects. If you’re passionate about blending technical know-how with creative problem-solving and want to make an impact on both skylines and communities, this could be the role you’ve been looking for.
About the Company
We’re a driven collective of engineers, planners, and project managers who take real pride in creating spaces that serve people and stand the test of time. Our team is tight-knit, yet always expanding—think daily coffee-fueled brainstorms, laughter during site visits, and an open-door policy whether you need advice or just a break. Growth is part of our DNA, and we firmly believe in investing in our people as much as our projects. Here, your ideas are valued, your professional development is encouraged, and yes—Friday demo days spark a little friendly competition.
