**Job Title: Site Engineer (Civil & Premium Finishing)** **Company Overview** HAOarchitect is an elite, internationally recognized architectural and engineering consultancy specializing in the design, engineering, and comprehensive site supervision of landmark, high-rise, and ultra-premium mixed-use developments. Operating across fast-growing luxury markets, we bridge avant-garde architectural vision with flawless engineering execution. At HAOarchitect, we leverage advanced digital project management infrastructure to maintain complete site transparency, rigorous quality control, and tight schedule adherence. We are seeking an authoritative, highly technical, and detail-oriented **Site Engineer (Civil & Premium Finishing)** to serve as our primary technical representative on-site. **Position Summary** The Site Engineer will manage the critical transition from core-and-shell structural execution to high-end, luxury architectural finishing. This role demands an exceptional balance of deep civil engineering knowledge (concrete, post-tensioned systems) and an uncompromising eye for aesthetic perfection in interior and exterior fit-outs. You will be responsible for enforcing contract compliance, verifying technical specifications, eliminating execution errors, and leading the project to a defect-free handover. Key Responsibilities **1. Structural & Civil Supervision** * **Design Compliance:** Oversee, inspect, and approve daily site execution to ensure 100% compliance with approved structural drawings, Issued for Construction (IFC) blueprints, and international building codes. * **Core & Shell Verification:** Supervise critical structural phases, including advanced formwork systems, complex reinforcement steel placement layouts, concrete pouring operations, and **Post-Tension (PT) slab stress monitoring**. * **Civil Infrastructure:** Monitor structural stability, blockwork, internal plastering, and waterproofing systems across all wet areas, basements, and facades. **2. Premium Finishing & Fit-Out Oversight** * **Luxury Material Execution:** Direct and evaluate the installation of high-end finishing elements, ensuring strict adherence to architectural intent, approved mock-ups, and material submittals. * **Interior Fit-Out Inspection:** Supervise premium flooring installations (book-matched marble, intricate tiling, hardwood layouts), complex gypsum ceiling profiles, high-end architectural joinery, custom wall paneling, and architectural glazing. * **Cladding & Facade Control:** Monitor the installation of external facade systems, curtain walls, and natural stone/GRP cladding, ensuring perfect alignment, sealing, and structural anchoring. * **Interface Management:** Coordinate the exact intersection of civil finishes with concealed MEP services (access panels, linear slot diffusers, flush lighting profiles, and floor-recessed fixtures) to prevent aesthetic or functional clashes. **3. Quality Assurance, Snagging & Handover** * **Mock-Up Approvals:** Establish benchmark quality standards by supervising and approving initial material mock-ups on-site before mass installation begins. * **Meticulous Snagging:** Implement a proactive, continuous snagging process throughout the construction lifecycle—rather than waiting for project completion—to catch and rectify defects early. * **Defect Management:** Issue clear, detailed punch lists to contractors and track de-snagging progress rigorously via digital tools to guarantee an absolutely flawless final handover to the client. **4. Progress Tracking, Site Digitalization & Safety** * **Digital Reporting:** Actively utilize HAOarchitect’s project management to log daily site activities, track task progress, upload photographic evidence of inspections, and provide management with real-time site transparency. * **Schedule Enforcement:** Cross-reference physical daily site progress against the baseline master construction schedule to identify potential delays and implement immediate corrective actions with contractors. * **Safety & Code Compliance:** Enforce stringent site safety standards in accordance with international safety regulations (such as NFPA fire life safety codes) and local municipal building regulations. Required Qualifications & Technical Skills **Education & Professional Experience** * **Degree:** Bachelor’s Degree in Civil Engineering, Architectural Engineering, or a strictly related discipline from an accredited institution. * **Experience:** A minimum of 5 to 8 years of robust, hands-on site supervision experience, with a proven track record of successfully delivering **premium high-rise towers (40+ stories) or ultra-luxury mixed-use developments**. * **Dual Portfolio:** Must demonstrate a balanced portfolio split between heavy structural concrete/PT works and high-end, luxury internal fit-outs/finishing. **Technical Competencies** * **Advanced Blueprint Literacy:** Master-level capability in reading, interpreting, and cross-referencing m
