Construction Engineer

Role Purpose

To assist the Project Manager (PM) and Assistant Project Manager (APM) in technical coordination, engineering problem-solving, progress scheduling, subcontractor procurement, and site technical execution to ensure the project meets time, cost, quality, and technical standards.

Key Responsibilities

1. Technical Coordination & Engineering

• Review, understand, and translate technical specifications, contractual documents, facade shop drawings, and structural calculations into executable site works.

• Coordinate closely with the internal Design/Technical Department to clarify Site Technical Queries (RFIs) and resolve design or site installation discrepancies.

• Coordinate mock-up fabrications, testing procedures (e.g., water tightness, air infiltration), and material sample submissions for consultant approvals.

2. Time & Progress Planning

• Assist the PM/APM in developing, updating, and monitoring the master construction program, micro-schedules, and daily/weekly work targets.

• Track installation progress against target baselines, highlight potential delays, and propose technical workarounds or recovery strategies.

• Collaborate with the Main Contractor's and other trade sub-contractors engineering teams for site interfaces and access availability.

3. Procurement & Cost Support

• Assist the PM/APM in evaluating subcontractor quotations, material take-offs, and quantity verifications.

4. Quality Control & Site Coordination

• Work with the QA/QC team to coordinate inspection schedules with consultants and main contractors (aiming for high CONQUAS / Quality Mark scores).

• Investigate on-site technical or installation issues and propose engineering solutions to the PM/APM.

• Prepare method statements, inspection and test plans (ITP), and material submittal packages.

5. Safety & Site Support

• Support the PM/APM in formulating Risk Assessments (RA) and Safe Work Procedures (SWP) for complex installation procedures.

• Attend site progress meetings, technical coordination meetings, and prepare meeting minutes or action logs.

Job Requirements

• Education: Bachelor's Degree or Diploma in Civil, Structural, Mechanical Engineering, or Building Technology.

• Experience: 2-4 years of experience as a Site/Project Engineer in the construction industry, preferably with a focus on facade engineering, curtain walls, or structural glazing.

• Technical Skills:

  • Proficient in AutoCAD and reading architectural, structural, and facade construction drawings.

  • Familiarity with local building codes, QA/QC standards (CONQUAS / Quality Mark), and facade testing requirements.

  • Basic proficiency in project management tools (e.g., MS Project, Primavera) and MS Office suite.

• Soft Skills: Strong analytical capabilities, proactive problem-solving, good written and verbal communication skills, and ability to work in a fast-paced environment.
