- Ensure that designs meet project and regulatory standards.
Site Supervision & Technical Support:
- Support Senior Engineers and Site Managers with day-to-day construction oversight.
- Monitor the progress on site and conduct regular quality inspections.
- Troubleshoot technical issues with a proactive, problem-solving mindset.
Compliance & Contract Support:
- Learn to interpret and apply FIDIC, JBCC, or similar contract standards.
- Help ensure compliance with engineering codes, HSE standards, and legislation.
- Support the documentation of method statements, approvals, and engineering reports.
Stakeholder & Team Collaboration:
- Coordinate with QSs, PMs, consultants, and clients to align on project deliverables.
- Contribute technical input during procurement and subcontractor engagement phases.
- Support the reporting on project progress, risks, and engineering challenges.
