Engineer – Implementation & Constructability

Role Purpose

Key Responsibilities

• Constructability & construction methodology
• Review master-plan and design information for buildability, flagging conflicts, clashes and construction risks early.
• Develop and compare construction methodologies — e.g. top-down vs bottom-up, cut-and-cover, deep excavation with shoring/retaining systems, slipform/climbing formwork, precast/modular and off-site approaches, and heavy-lifting / SPMT operations.
• Provide constructability input to designers and support value engineering and simplification of construction methods.
• Construction phasing & sequencing
• Prepare 2D (and, where required, 4D) phasing plans showing the sequence of assets, roads, utilities and temporary works across the programme.
• Develop sequencing and line-of-balance logic to enable efficient progress and timely asset opening.
• Keep phasing aligned to the latest project programme (IDS / master schedule) and design revisions.
• Site logistics & land take
• Plan construction logistics: laydown/land-take zones, haul and temporary construction roads, access and offloading areas, batching-plant locations, and crane/lifting zones.
• Develop traffic-management and delivery strategies (HGV movements, worker transport and accommodation needs) for congested, multi-contractor sites.
• Implementation / production metrics
• Develop implementation metrics over time using GFA, programme data and regional benchmarks — e.g. GFA under construction, workforce, concrete volumes, heavy-vehicle movements, tower-crane and plant demand, and asset/key delivery curves.
• Use these metrics to support decisions on facilities, resourcing and contractor demand.
• Packaging & procurement support
• Support development of contract/work-packaging strategies, including allocation of assets across contractor tiers and input on procurement routes (e.g. Design & Build vs traditional).
• Identify opportunities to combine or split packages for efficiency.
• Interface & coordination
• Coordinate across master-planning, infrastructure, utilities, roads and mobility/rail teams, and between multiple contractors, to manage interfaces and dependencies.

Risk

• Identify implementation risks, carry out qualitative assessment (probability/impact, pre- and post-mitigation), and propose practical mitigations and next steps.
• Reporting & document production
• Produce clear, well-structured technical reports, drawings, diagrams, dashboards and presentations to a professional standard, consolidating the above into deliverables such as implementation/constructability reports.

Essential

• Bachelor's degree in Civil, Structural or Construction Engineering (or a related discipline).
• Approximately 5–8 years of relevant experience on large building and/or infrastructure projects, with a contractor, consultant/PMC or developer.
• Hands-on exposure to at least two of: construction planning/phasing, constructability/methodology, site logistics, or contract packaging.
• Sound working knowledge of construction methods, sequencing and site logistics on large, complex projects.
• Desirable / advantageous
• Experience on giga-/mega-projects or large mixed-use developments, ideally in the Gulf region.
• Exposure to deep basements, tunnelling/metro, bridges or heavy civil works.
• Working towards professional registration/chartership (e.g. CEng / PE).
• Master's degree in a relevant discipline.
• Technical competencies

Essential

• AutoCAD / Civil 3D and GIS (ArcGIS or QGIS) for spatial planning and phasing.
• Programme literacy — able to read and work to Primavera P6 / MS Project schedules.
• Advanced Excel, with strong reporting and presentation skills.

Desirable

• 4D/BIM tools (e.g. Synchro, Navisworks) and data-visualisation tools (e.g. Power BI).
• Document/graphics tools (e.g. Adobe InDesign) for producing high-quality reports.

Additional Information

• Behavioural competencies
• Coordination & communication — works effectively across multi-disciplinary teams and multiple contractors, managing interfaces and dependencies.
• Practical & solutions-focused — translates complex design information into buildable, pragmatic strategies.
• Detail-oriented — produces accurate, well-structured technical output to a professional standard.
• Delivery under pressure — comfortable working to tight programmes and managing competing priorities.
• Takes direction well — delivers high-quality technical output within a structured review process, with appropriate guidance from the Implementation Manager.
