• - 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, alignment, dimensional checks, and structural installation activities.
• - Experience in reinforced concrete structures, foundations, reinforcement inspections, and associated civil construction activities is required.
• - Sound knowledge of structural inspection procedures, material testing, welding quality requirements, and construction quality control systems.
• - Familiarity with international construction codes and standards, project specifications, and applicable UAE regulations.
• - Knowledge of ISO 9001 Quality Management Systems is preferred.
• - Relevant certifications such as CSWIP, AWS welding inspection, BGAS, ISO 9001 Lead Auditor, or other QA/QC-related qualifications will be an added advantage.
• - Strong technical reporting, documentation, communication, and coordination skills.
• - Excellent analytical and problem-solving abilities, attention to detail, and a strong commitment to quality and compliance.
• Preferred Candidate Profile: A Civil QA/QC Engineer with demonstrable site experience in steel structure construction, particularly fabrication, welding, erection, and installation, who can independently conduct inspections, identify quality issues, and ensure compliance with project specifications and approved engineering requirements.
