• AED 10,000–15,000/month, based on experience

• Employment visa + medical insurance provided

• Working knowledge of document control platforms (Procore/Aconex) and reporting tools

• Solid understanding of FIDIC contracts, procurement, and cost control principles

• English fluency required;
  Hindi or Arabic is a bonus, not a must
