Key Responsibilities
Structural Design Review & Coordination:
- Review structural drawings, calculations, and specifications produced by consulting structural engineers. Coordinate with architects, MEP engineers, and the QS to ensure buildability, clash-free construction, and specification compliance before work commences on site.
Site Supervision Civil & Structural Works:
- Supervise all civil and structural construction activities, including excavation, piling and foundation works, reinforced concrete frames, flat slabs, staircases, retaining walls, and below-ground drainage and waterproofing systems.
Concrete & Materials Quality Control:
