About the Role: Responsibilities, Skills, and Requirements
Ever wondered how Dubai’s skyline keeps reaching new heights? As a Civil Engineer with hands-on experience in shaping the city’s residential, commercial, and mixed-use marvels, you know what it takes. We’re searching for an experienced, sharp-minded talent ready to bring their expertise to our tight-knit engineering consultancy — and, quite frankly, make an impact on some of the region’s most exciting projects.
About the Company
We’re not “just” another engineering consultancy. Our firm has been quietly influencing the built environment across Dubai for years — and not just through blueprints and site visits. We’re a passionate group who believe in practical solutions, creative thinking, and supporting each other’s growth. Here, you might run into spirited debates about construction tech over breakfast, or join our Friday ‘project pit-stop’ sessions, where teamwork and problem-solving shine. If you love a collaborative workplace where your contributions are seen and valued, you’ll fit right in.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Overseeing site supervision for a range of ongoing developments, making certain that every detail matches approved plans and local codes.
- Coordinating between multidisciplinary teams — architects, MEP engineers, contractors, you name it — to ensure seamless project execution.
- Reviewing and approving detailed engineering designs, shop drawings, and method statements.
- Conducting site inspections and progress meetings, identifying risks and proposing practical, timely solutions on the ground.
- Acting as the technical point of contact for clients, clarifying requirements and resolving site queries with confidence.
- Keeping a close eye on project timelines, quality control, and compliance with UAE regulations.
- Preparing regular reports and documentation, ensuring clear communication with stakeholders at every stage.
- Staying up to date on industry trends, new construction materials, and best practices (and sharing those insights with the team).
What You’ll Bring
Must-Haves:
- Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering (accredited institution).
- Minimum 7 years’ experience within the UAE working in an engineering consultancy environment.
- Solid background in site supervision and project coordination (residential, commercial, multi-use developments).
- Thorough understanding of local engineering standards, Dubai Municipality codes, and relevant authority procedures.
- Strong communication in both English and Arabic.
- Proficient in industry-standard software (such as AutoCAD, Civil 3D, or equivalent).
Nice-to-Haves:
- Membership with UAE Society of Engineers.
- Familiarity with BIM applications or new digital construction tools.
- A knack for mentoring junior team members.
Not sure you tick every box? We’d still love to hear from you.
