About the Role: Responsibilities, Skills, and Requirements
Introduction
Curious what it’s like to see your designs take real shape across Abu Dhabi’s evolving cityscape? At Superarc Consultant, we’re looking for a Road Design Engineer who’s ready to turn plans into reality — blending technical expertise with creativity to help shape fast-moving infrastructure. If you’ve honed your skills in the intricacies of road design and have become that go-to person for BIM solutions, we’d love to chat about your next career step.
About the Company
Superarc Consultant isn’t just another engineering firm — we pride ourselves on crafting infrastructure that drives communities forward. Nestled in Mussafah M6, our close-knit team brings together road design specialists, digital transformation enthusiasts, and problem-solvers who like a challenge. Fridays are for sharing project successes (and yes, sometimes breakfast from our favorite neighborhood bakery). Our culture? Open-door, ideas-welcome, and collaboration-first — we believe the best concepts can come from anyone.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Designing detailed road alignments, profiles, and cross-sections for key transportation projects across the UAE
- Applying your BIM expertise to streamline design, documentation, and coordination with multidisciplinary teams
- Preparing and reviewing design drawings and project specifications using the latest industry software
- Collaborating with clients, contractors, and authorities, ensuring designs are accurate and regulations are met
- Attending site visits, providing technical input, and resolving design challenges as they arise
- Mentoring junior engineers, swapping stories about unexpected site discoveries, and helping the team grow its digital capabilities
- Staying current with new standards, materials, and best practices (you’re never done learning, right?)
What You’ll Bring
- Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering or a closely related field
- 5–10 years of hands-on experience delivering road design projects
- Strong working knowledge of BIM applications (think: Revit, Civil 3D, or similar)
- Excellent communication skills — you can convey complex ideas clearly with both colleagues and clients
- Good problem-solving instincts and a flexible approach when you hit the occasional design curveball
Not sure you tick every box? We’d still love to hear from you.
Why You’ll Love Working Here
- Competitive compensation and annual bonus structure
- Health insurance, because we care about your well-being
- Flexible schedule and supportive environment for work-life balance
- Office in Mussafah M6, with options for hybrid work once you’ve settled in
- Ongoing training opportunities — BIM, leadership, even public speaking if you’re up for it
- Friendly colleagues who appreciate your input and a culture that celebrates small wins (don’t be surprised by the occasional lunch order on the house)
Here, you’ll have the unique chance to help shape vital infrastructure alongside passionate teammates — and see your work make a real difference on the ground.
