Responsibilities
This position is eligible for remote work opportunities.
Civil Works Oversight
- Provide on-site technical supervision for installation of foundations, reinforced concrete silos (slip form and shotcrete relining), retaining walls, and other concrete structures.
- Verify compliance of structural works engineered drawings and specifications. Be able to interpret, understand, and react to codes, standards, and engineering notes.
- Monitor concrete quality, formwork cycles, reinforcement placement, embed installation, and slip-form operational parameters.
- Review and validate contractor daily reports, progress measurements, and construction records.
- Support resolution of site technical issues through coordination with engineering, project management, and contractors.
- Coordinate field activities with ongoing plant operations to minimize disruptions.
Contractor Coordination & Quality Assurance
- Conduct daily field inspections and ensure adherence to QA/QC requirements for concrete, steel reinforcement, foundations, and structural works. Ability to understand test reports for slump, density, compressive strength, and other critical tests is required.
- Verify contractor compliance with construction methodologies, inspection and test plans (ITPs), and quality documentation.
- Oversee and document inspections for formwork, rebar, foundations, lifts, and concrete pours.
- Identify non-conformities, support root-cause evaluation, and follow up on corrective actions.
- Monitor subcontractor activity and ensure proper sequencing and interface coordination.
Engineering Support & Documentation Control
- Review structural drawings, reports, and calculations to ensure constructability and site feasibility.
- Prepare field reports, inspection logs, and technical notes supporting project documentation requirements.
- Support engineering revisions by collecting field data, measurements, and photographs.
- Verify that as-built information is collected and transmitted accurately to engineering teams by installing contractor.
Safety Oversight & Field Compliance
- Ensure that civil works are executed in compliance with safety procedures, company policies, and regulatory requirements.
- Participate in site safety meetings, toolbox talks, and hazard identification activities.
- Monitor contractor safety performance and escalate unsafe conditions immediately.
Cross-Functional Coordination
- Work closely with Project Managers, Planners, Procurement, Quality/Procedures, and Plant Engineering teams.
- Support cost and progress verification for civil activities through field measurements and documentation.
- Participate in constructability assessments and risk evaluations for civil/structural scopes.
- Provide field intelligence to improve design, mitigate risks, and support schedule and cost planning.
Qualifications
Required Qualifications & Experience
- Bachelor’s degree in civil engineering, structural engineering, or related discipline.
- Minimum 5–10 years of experience in civil/structural engineering, with at least 3–5 years on active industrial or major civil construction sites, such as industrial plants, dams, spillways, or other construction types requiring significant concrete works.
- Direct experience with slip-form concrete construction is highly preferred.
- Strong understanding of reinforced concrete structures, industrial foundations, and heavy civil construction methods.
- Experience supervising contractors, conducting QA/QC inspections, and reviewing engineering documentation.
- Experience with ITPs, concrete testing, rebar inspection, and geotechnical site interfaces.
- Industry background in cement, power, steel, mining, or petrochemical construction is an advantage.
- Ability and willingness to travel 60–80% of the time, including extended site assignments.
- ACI/AASHTO Field Technician Certifications are preferred but not required.
- General understanding of mechanical and structural steel installation is helpful, and the ability to interface with other disciplines is preferred.
Core Competencies
- Strong technical and analytical skills in civil/structural engineering.
- Ability to work independently on construction sites while coordinating with remote teams.
- High attention to detail and ability to enforce quality and safety standards.
- Effective communication and problem‑solving abilities. Ability to interface with and maintain good relationships with project stakeholders is key.
- Strong organizational discipline and ability to manage multiple field activities in parallel.
- Commitment to safety and quality in all construction activities.
