Calgary Properties UAE
About Calgary Properties Calgary Properties is a Dubai-based real estate developer in the affordable luxury segment, committed to projects that are high in quality, thoughtful in design, and on time in delivery. We are agile by design, small enough to move fast, structured enough to deliver to international standards. Our brand promise: Living Aspirations. We currently have two flagship projects in active execution: • Flora Shore, a beachside residential development on the Dubai Islands, with enabling and superstructure works underway and main contractor mobilisation in progress. • Skyon, a residential development in Dubai South, in the pre-construction phase with a tender award imminent. The Role We are appointing one Project Manager (Civil / Structural) to support delivery across both projects. Reporting to the Project / Construction Manager, you will be the developer's eyes on site, ensuring works are executed per approved IFC drawings, specifications and applicable codes, and that the contractor delivers the quality, programme and safety standards our buyers expect. This is a hands-on, site-based role with frequent travel between Dubai Islands and Dubai South. Key Responsibilities Site supervision and quality • Supervise day-to-day civil and structural works at the site, including formwork, rebar, concrete pours, blockwork, masonry, waterproofing, screeding and substructure works. • Supervise architectural works at the site, including blockwork, plastering, gypsum and ceiling works, joinery, doors, ironmongery, façade interface, internal and external finishes. • Supervise interior fit-out works, including tiling, flooring, wall finishes, kitchen and wardrobe fit-out, sanitary fixtures, paint, and final finishing trades up to handover quality. • Coordinate and witness MEP works at the site, including conduiting, sleeves, embedded items, first fix and second fix, AHU and FCU installations, plumbing, drainage, fire-fighting, ELV and electrical termination, testing and commissioning. • Verify setting-out, reduced levels, alignments, dimensions and as-built records against IFC drawings before authorising progress. • Inspect and approve materials at site delivery; verify against approved submittals, manufacturer documents, batch records and storage conditions. • Witness and verify key activities including concrete pours, rebar fixing, post-tensioning where applicable, waterproofing, dewatering, mock-ups, cube tests, slump tests, pile load tests and NDT. • Issue and track Inspection Requests (IRs) and Non-Conformance Reports (NCRs); drive close-out with the contractor and consultant. • Review IFC drawings, shop drawings and method statements; raise RFIs and resolve site queries with the consultant in a timely manner. • Coordinate civil, MEP, façade, interior and architectural sub-contractors at site; resolve clashes before they hit execution. • Verify works against BOQ and approved drawings before any payment certification, and monitor progress against the baseline programme (Primavera P6 / MS Project) to flag slippages early. HSE and compliance • Enforce HSE on site, including PPE compliance, scaffold inspections, hot-work permits, lift plans, confined-space and working-at-height controls. • Ensure works comply with Dubai Municipality, applicable BS / ACI codes, and the consultant's specifications. • Support material approvals, mock-ups, sample submittals, and witness testing such as cube tests and NDT. Reporting and handover • Maintain daily site diaries, progress photographs, and weekly progress reports for management. • Support snagging, de-snagging and handover to the QC and handover team. • Travel between Flora Shore (Dubai Islands) and Skyon (Dubai South) as the programme requires. Required Experience and Qualifications • Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering, attested as per UAE MoFA requirements. • Minimum 5 to 6 years of site engineering and site supervision experience on building construction projects, ideally including hands-on supervision of civil, architectural, interior and MEP trades. • Proven track record on G+ residential or mixed-use towers, from substructure through to superstructure, finishes and handover. • Working knowledge of Dubai Municipality regulations, BS standards and ACI codes; familiarity with Trakhees and Dubai South authority requirements is a plus. • Proficient in AutoCAD, Primavera P6 and / or MS Project, and MS Office. Revit / BIM exposure is an advantage. • Society of Engineers UAE (SOE) registration in place or actively in process. • Valid UAE driving licence (mandatory, the role requires inter-site travel). • Strong written and spoken English. Arabic, Hindi or Malayalam is an advantage on site. Preferred • Prior developer-side experience, representing the client on site rather than purely contractor-side. • Familiarity with FIDIC contract administration basics and variation / claim documentation. • Experience with handover to a sales / brokerage team and snagging at unit level. What We Offer • Competitive, market-aligned package, commensurate with experience. • Employment visa, medical insurance and annual leave per UAE Labour Law. • Direct exposure to two flagship projects in two of Dubai's most-watched districts: Dubai Islands and Dubai South. • A lean, agile team where your decisions show up on site the next morning. • A clear path toward Senior Site Engineer / Project Engineer for the right candidate. How to Apply We are reviewing applications on a rolling basis. • Apply via LinkedIn (Easy Apply on this listing), or • Email your CV to [email protected] with the subject line: "Site Engineer, [Your Name]". Please include in your application: current and notice-period status, current location, expected package, and at least two recent project references with role descriptions.
