Civil Site Engineer - Structural Steel

Key Roles and Responsibilities

A. Site Execution and Technical Coordination

• Supervise building construction activities including RCC works, foundations, columns, beams, slabs, shear walls, staircases, reinforcement, shuttering, concreting, masonry, plastering, waterproofing, flooring and finishing, as applicable.
• Read and interpret architectural and structural drawings; verify dimensions, levels, alignment, grid lines, openings and embedded items before and during execution.
• Ensure work is carried out using the latest approved drawings and specifications; raise discrepancies and seek technical clarification before proceeding.
• Coordinate with architectural, structural and MEP teams for sleeves, conduits, service openings and other work interfaces.

B. Quality Control and RCC Works

• Check reinforcement diameter, spacing, laps, anchorage and cover; inspect formwork for dimensions, stability, alignment and levels.
• Coordinate pre-pour inspections and monitor concrete placement, vibration, finishing, curing, sampling, slump tests and cube tests as required.
• Conduct routine workmanship checks, coordinate QA/QC inspections, maintain checklists and test records, and follow up on corrective actions.
• Identify defects, deviations and potential rework early; immediately report structural concerns, cracks, honeycombing or other non-conformities to the reporting manager.

C. Planning, Contractor and Resource Management

• Plan daily work fronts and achieve agreed targets in line with the construction programme; monitor actual progress and flag delays or constraints.
• Coordinate and supervise contractors, subcontractors, foremen and labour teams; monitor manpower deployment, productivity and workmanship.
• Raise material indents, follow up with stores/procurement, monitor availability and consumption of construction materials, and minimise wastage and damage.
• Check completed quantities at site and assist with measurement sheets, measurement books, contractor bills and quantity reconciliation, as assigned.

D. Safety, Documentation and Reporting

• Enforce site safety procedures, PPE use, housekeeping, barricading and safe work practices for work at height, scaffolding, formwork and lifting activities.
• Report unsafe conditions, near misses and incidents promptly; coordinate with the safety team to close observations.
• Maintain daily site diaries and progress reports covering work completed, manpower, materials, equipment, inspections, hindrances and pending actions.
• Attend site meetings, coordinate with planning, QA/QC, safety, procurement and stores teams, and support as-built and handover documentation as required.

Educational Qualification and Experience

• Diploma in Civil Engineering from a recognised technical institution.
• Approximately 5 years of relevant experience in building construction and site execution.
• Preference for candidates with hands-on experience in high-rise commercial buildings, office towers, mixed-use developments or large residential towers.
• Practical exposure to RCC structure, reinforcement, shuttering, concreting, masonry, plastering, finishing and contractor coordination is essential.

Candidates with experience primarily in roads or unrelated civil works may not be suitable unless they also have relevant building-construction exposure
