Site Engineer – Civil (High-Rise & Towers)

Job Overview We are seeking an experienced and detail-oriented Site Engineer (Civil) to oversee daily civil construction operations for our flagship high-rise and tower projects. You will be responsible for setting out, quality control, structural execution, workforce supervision, and subcontractor management to ensure projects are delivered safely, on schedule, within budget, and according to structural specifications. Key Responsibilities & Duties: 1. Site Supervision & Execution • Supervise day-to-day civil and structural construction activities on-site, including excavation, deep foundation work (piling/diaphragm walls), reinforced concrete structures, post-tensioning, structural steel, and facade coordination. • Perform site layout, setting out, leveling, and structural alignment using surveying instruments and BIM/CAD drawings. • Monitor daily progress against the baseline project schedule, ensuring productivity targets are met for both in-house labor and subcontractors. • Coordinate structural handovers to MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing) and Architectural finishing teams to avoid site clashes. 2. Quality Control & Technical Management • Ensure all structural and civil works comply with project specifications, IFC (Issued for Construction) drawings, local building codes, and international structural standards. • Conduct joint inspections with the Consultant / Client representative for steel reinforcement, formwork, concrete pours, and structural joints (raising Inspection Requests - IRs/RFIs). • Coordinate concrete operations: mix design verification, slump tests, cylinder/cube sampling, pour management, and post-pour defect inspections. • Identify technical discrepancies or constructability issues in drawings and issue Requests for Information (RFIs) to the engineering/design team. 3. Subcontractor & Labor Management • Direct and manage trade contractors, steel fixers, formwork carpenters, and concrete crews to maintain workflow efficiency. • Review subcontractor progress claims, measure completed works on-site, and assist the Commercial/QS team with monthly valuations. 4. Safety & Compliance • Enforce strict Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) standards across high-rise work zones (fall protection, edge protection, crane operations, and scaffolding safety). • Participate in daily toolbox talks and conduct site hazard assessments prior to high-risk activities (heavy lifts, high-altitude formwork, concrete pumping). 5. Reporting & Documentation • Maintain accurate daily site logs documenting weather conditions, manpower, equipment usage, material deliveries, and work progress. • Prepare weekly and monthly site progress reports for the Site Manager / Project Manager. Required Qualifications & Experience • Education: Bachelor’s Degree in Civil Engineering from an accredited university. • Experience: 3 to 6+ years of site execution experience in general contracting, with at least 2+ years specifically on high-rise buildings or multi-story towers (G+20 floors minimum). • Technical Skills: • Advanced understanding of reinforced concrete structures, slipform/jumpform shuttering systems, post-tensioned (PT) slabs, and high-strength concrete. • Proficiency in reading structural, architectural, and MEP drawings. • Hands-on familiarity with AutoDesk AutoCAD, BIM/Revit viewers, and MS Office. • Experience with high-rise logistics: tower crane coordination, concrete boom placer management, and hoist planning. Key Competencies & Soft Skills • Strong leadership and workforce supervision capabilities. • Clear verbal and written technical communication skills. • Problem-solving mindset under tight project deadlines. • High awareness of site safety culture in elevated construction zones.
