Ever wondered what it’s like to be at the heart of Dubai’s ever-changing cityscape? As a Project Engineer working on G 4 projects, you won’t just watch the skyline transform — you’ll have a real hand in shaping it.

About the Company
Step inside Office 204 in Apricot Tower, and you’ll find a close-knit team that prides itself on collaboration, quick decision-making, and genuine respect for expertise.

We’ve grown steadily, fueled by our passion for quality work and our commitment to doing things by the book, Dubai-style. Here, your contributions don’t disappear in the shuffle — they set the pace for everything we accomplish.

- Interpreting architectural and structural drawings, translating them into practical, step-by-step site execution.
- Coordinating with subcontractors, suppliers, and other stakeholders to maintain clear timelines and quality outputs.

- Reporting progress to management, flagging issues early, and suggesting smart solutions.
- Maintaining and organizing meticulous project documentation as required by DM regulations.

Nice-to-Haves:
- Familiarity with the latest construction management software.
- A reputation for streamlining paperwork or getting approvals through on the first try.
- Multi-lingual abilities (especially Arabic or Hindi) to ease site communication.
- Experience with value engineering or cost-saving initiatives.
Not sure you tick every box? We’d still love to hear from you.

- Direct access to leadership — your ideas and suggestions won’t get lost in the ether.
- A transparent work environment where DM compliance and ethical practices are top priority.
- Supportive colleagues who actually celebrate your wins (and pitch in during crunch times).
- Office in a central, easily accessible spot at Park View, with a real sense of community — not just a cubicle.
