Quality Oversight & Site Supervision
Monitor and inspect civil and structural construction activities, with a strong focus on structural steel fabrication, erection, installation, bolting, welding, and associated works, ensuring compliance with approved drawings and project specifications.
Review and verify contractors’ Inspection and Test Plans (ITPs), method statements, quality control procedures, and inspection checklists for civil and steel structure works.
Witness and verify site and laboratory testing, including concrete testing, reinforcement inspections, welding inspections, bolt tightening and torque checks, and other relevant structural quality tests.
Conduct routine site inspections and surveillance to identify non-conformities, deviations from approved drawings, defective workmanship, and quality-related risks.
Documentation & Reporting
Review and verify QA/QC documentation, including Material Inspection Requests (MIRs), Work Inspection Requests (WIRs), Non-Conformance Reports (NCRs), material certificates, welding inspection reports, test reports, and as-built drawings.
Maintain accurate inspection records, quality reports, site observations, and supporting documentation for civil and steel structure activities.
Prepare quality status reports highlighting inspection results, compliance levels, identified deficiencies, and corrective actions.
Participate in quality meetings, progress reviews, and site inspections with contractors, consultants, subcontractors, and project stakeholders.
Coordination & Compliance
Coordinate with project engineers, contractors, steel structure subcontractors, consultants, and client representatives to ensure compliance with approved quality requirements.
Verify that civil and structural steel works comply with approved structural drawings, project specifications, applicable UAE regulations, and relevant international codes and standards.
Review technical quality issues related to steel fabrication, welding, erection, connections, alignment, and dimensional accuracy, coordinating with the engineering team for resolution.
Ensure compliance with applicable standards, including ACI, ASTM, AWS, BS, Eurocodes, and relevant UAE requirements, as applicable to the project scope.
Corrective & Preventive Actions
Review, monitor, and follow up on NCRs and quality observations, ensuring timely implementation and verification of corrective and preventive actions.
Identify potential quality risks associated with civil construction and steel structure activities and recommend appropriate mitigation measures to the QA/QC Manager and Project Manager.
Monitor the closure of quality observations, verify the effectiveness of corrective actions, and ensure compliance before approval of completed works.
Support continuous improvement in site quality practices to minimize rework, prevent recurring defects, and maintain project quality standards.
Qualifications & Experience
Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering or Structural Engineering.
Minimum 5–8 years of relevant QA/QC experience in building construction or civil engineering projects, with substantial exposure to structural steel works.
Strong hands-on experience in steel structure fabrication, erection, welding inspection, bolted connections,…
