As a Graduate Authority Liaison Engineer, you will support our Authority Liaison and NOC team in securing NOCs, building permits, and regulatory approvals across UAE projects. Working alongside experienced engineers and NOC Managers, you will learn how local authority processes work, help prepare and track submissions, and build the technical and relationship skills needed to grow into a full Authority Liaison role. This opportunity is part of our Emiratisation programme and is open exclusively to UAE National graduates.

Follow established procedures for submissions and help keep documentation complete and accurate.

Maintain and update the NOC and approvals tracking database.

Attend authority meetings, site visits, and inspections alongside senior colleagues to build hands-on understanding.

Help review design drawings against local authority regulations and UAE codes, with oversight from experienced engineers.

Support NOC Managers in preparing project briefs and approval strategies.

Bring a fresh perspective and suggest ideas to make approval processes more efficient.

Help maintain templates, checklists, and standards for submissions.

0–2 years of experience. Internships, placements, or university projects in design, construction, planning, or consultancy are a plus.
