Site Civil Engineer – Owner’s Resident Engineer (Civil)

About the role

You are the Owner's eyes, hands and signature on site. The contractor builds; you decide whether what has been built may proceed to the next step. Your job is to make sure the hotel is built exactly to the structural and architectural drawings, that nothing is cast until it has been checked, that the material going in is what the contract specifies, and that the Owner knows the true state of progress every week.

Key responsibilities

• Check setting‑out, formwork and reinforcement of every element against drawings; sign or withhold the pour card for every concrete pour — no pour without your signature.
• Run the Inspection & Test Plan: hold points, cube sampling, curing, formwork stripping per IS 456, post‑pour inspection; raise and close Non‑Conformance Reports.
• Own the post‑tensioned slab interface between the PT agency and the contractor: sequence, stressing permit, stripping.
• Coordinate MEP embeds, sleeves and cut‑outs into the civil work before slabs are cast.
• Maintain the GFC drawing register; raise RFIs to the Architect/Structural Engineer the same day a conflict is found.
• Track progress against the master programme; send a daily progress report with photos and a one‑page weekly report to the Owner.
• Enforce site safety and verify the contractor's insurances and statutory compliance.
• Lead a QA/QC & Billing Engineer; countersign measurements and bill certification.
