Job description
Role purpose To support the planning and delivery of a large-scale, mixed-use development programme by translating master-plan and design information into practical, buildable implementation strategies. Working under the direction of the Implementation Manager, the Engineer develops construction phasing, site logistics, constructability input, contract-packaging support, implementation metrics and risk assessments, and consolidates these into clear, well-structured reports and presentations — for example, the implementation/constructability report that forms part of the Detailed Masterplan (DMP).
This is a hands-on technical delivery role. The post-holder produces the analysis and documentation; overall strategy, stakeholder management and final sign-off sit with the Implementation Manager.
Key responsibilities
Constructability & construction methodology Review master-plan and design information for buildability, flagging conflicts, clashes and construction risks early. Develop and compare construction methodologies — e.g. top-down vs bottom-up, cut-and-cover, deep excavation with shoring/retaining systems, slipform/climbing formwork, precast/modular and off-site approaches, and heavy-lifting / SPMT operations.
Provide constructability input to designers and support value engineering and simplification of construction methods. Construction phasing & sequencing Prepare 2D (and, where required, 4D) phasing plans showing the sequence of assets, roads, utilities and temporary works across the programme. Develop sequencing and line-of-balance logic to enable efficient progress and timely asset opening.
Keep phasing aligned to the latest project programme (IDS / master schedule) and design revisions. Site logistics & land take Plan construction logistics: laydown/land-take zones, haul and temporary construction roads, access and offloading areas, batching-plant locations, and crane/lifting zones. Develop traffic-management and delivery strategies (HGV movements, worker transport and accommodation needs) for congested, multi-contractor sites.
Implementation / production metrics Develop implementation metrics over time using GFA, programme data and regional benchmarks — e.g. GFA under construction, workforce, concrete volumes, heavy-vehicle movements, tower-crane and plant demand, and asset/key delivery curves. Use these metrics to support decisions on facilities, resourcing and contractor demand.
Packaging & procurement support Support development of contract/work-packaging strategies, including allocation of assets across contractor tiers and input on procurement routes (e.g. Design & Build vs traditional). Identify opportunities to combine or split packages for efficiency. Interface & coordination Coordinate across master-planning, infrastructure, utilities, roads and mobility/rail teams, and between multiple contractors, to manage interfaces and dependencies.
Risk Identify implementation risks, carry out qualitative assessment (probability/impact, pre- and post-mitigation), and propose practical mitigations and next steps. Reporting & document production Produce clear, well-structured technical reports, drawings, diagrams, dashboards and presentations to a professional standard, consolidating the above into deliverables such as implementation/constructability reports.
Essential Bachelor's degree in Civil, Structural or Construction Engineering (or a related discipline). Approximately 5–8 years of relevant experience on large building and/or infrastructure projects, with a contractor, consultant/PMC or developer. Hands-on exposure to at least two of: construction planning/phasing, constructability/methodology, site logistics, or contract packaging.
Sound working knowledge of construction methods, sequencing and site logistics on large, complex projects. Desirable / advantageous Experience on giga-/mega-projects or large mixed-use developments, ideally in the Gulf region. Exposure to deep basements, tunnelling/metro, bridges or heavy civil works. Working towards professional registration/chartership (e.
g. CEng / PE). Master's degree in a relevant discipline. Technical competencies Essential AutoCAD / Civil 3D and GIS (ArcGIS or QGIS) for spatial planning and phasing. Programme literacy — able to read and work to Primavera P6 / MS Project schedules. Advanced Excel, with strong reporting and presentation skills. Desirable 4D/BIM tools (e.
g. Synchro, Navisworks) and data-visualisation tools (e.g. Power BI). Document/graphics tools (e.g. Adobe In. Design) for producing high-quality reports. Behavioural competencies Coordination & communication — works effectively across multi-disciplinary teams and multiple contractors, managing interfaces and dependencies.
Practical & solutions-focused — translates complex design information into buildable, pragmatic strategies. Detail-oriented — produces accurate, well-structured technical output to a professional standard. Delivery under pressure — comfortable working to tight programmes and managing competing priorities. Takes direction well — delivers high-quality technical output within a structured review process, with appropriate guidance from the Implementation Manager.
