Site Engineer

About the role

We are hiring two Site Engineers to lead field execution across a diversified portfolio of commercial, industrial, and residential facilities — showrooms, factories, offices, warehouses, and staff accommodation.

This is a dual-function role. Each Site Engineer manages two Foremen and their trade crews, and handles fit-out and renovation projects alongside routine and emergency maintenance, interchangeably. There is no separate maintenance team — the same crews flex between planned project work and reactive callouts, allocated daily through a central dispatch desk. The role reports to the Operations Manager and draws on the Engineering & Consulting department for technical guidance.

It suits an engineer who is genuinely field-based rather than office-based, comfortable switching between a scheduled fit-out programme and an emergency breakdown in the same day, and able to hold a multi-national trade workforce to standard.

• Supervise daily execution of fit-out, renovation, and maintenance work across assigned sites
• Coordinate two Foremen and their trade crews, ensuring work is completed safely, on time, and to specification
• Conduct daily site inspections to verify workmanship, material usage, and compliance with drawings and specifications
• Resolve on-site technical issues; escalation complex problems to the Operations Manager or Engineering

• Assist in preparing project plans, schedules, and material requirements
• Track progress on assigned sites and report status, delays, and issues
• Coordinate material deliveries, equipment needs, and subcontractor activities
• Maintain project documentation — daily logs, progress photos, punch lists, handover records

• Oversee routine and emergency maintenance assigned through the dispatch desk
• Ensure work orders are completed within agreed response and resolution times
• Conduct post-completion inspections before sign-off
• Report recurring issues and recommend preventive action

• Manage daily crew assignments in coordination with the dispatch desk
• Monitor attendance, productivity, and overtime of assigned Foremen and crews
• Provide on-the-job coaching and technical guidance
• Report performance issues and recommend corrective action

• Enforce site safety standards across all assigned work
• Conduct toolbox talks and pre-work safety briefings
• Report and document incidents; participate in investigations

• Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering, or a diploma in Construction Management with additional experience
• 5 to 8 years in construction site supervision, fit-out, or facility maintenance
• Experience supervising multi-trade crews — civil, electrical, plumbing, and finishing trades
• Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, specifications, and BOQs
• Familiarity with work order systems and preventive maintenance scheduling
• GCC experience preferred
• English required;
  Arabic an advantage;
  Hindi or Urdu useful for workforce communication

• Assigned projects and maintenance tasks completed on time and to standard
• Accuracy and timeliness of daily site reporting
• Trade crew utilization on assigned sites
