Site Engineer

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

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).

• Experience with handover to a sales / brokerage team and snagging at unit level.

What We Offer
