ACP Cladding Foreman

What is this role, exactly?

You'll lead the on-site crew installing Aluminium Composite Panels (ACP) on building exteriors — from receiving fabricated panels to final fixed, sealed, and inspected cladding. If you've run an ACP crew before, you already know this job; we're just formalizing what "good" looks like.

What will I be responsible for day-to-day?

• Reviewing the day's installation plan against elevation drawings and panel schedules
• Inspecting incoming ACP panels for transport damage, correct size, and correct color/finish batch before installation
• Directing the crew on sub-frame/bracket installation and panel fixing sequence
• Checking panel alignment, joint width consistency, and reveal lines as work progresses
• Overseeing rivet/screw fixing or clip-fix systems per the approved fixing detail
• Managing sealant application at joints for weatherproofing
• Coordinating scaffold/MEWP access scheduling for the crew
• Flagging and isolating any damaged or defective panels before they get installed
• Keeping daily records: panels installed, elevation/zone completed, manpower present, issues encountered
• Escalating design or drawing discrepancies to the Site Engineer before proceeding

What technical knowledge do I need?

• Reading elevation drawings, panel layout drawings, and fixing details
• Understanding ACP panel composition (core types, fire-rated vs. standard) — enough to catch if the wrong panel type shows up on site
• Familiarity with common fixing systems: rivet, screw, and concealed clip-fix
• Basic understanding of expansion/contraction joint requirements for ACP in outdoor conditions
• Sealant types and correct application for weatherproof joints

What experience should I have?

• 4–8 years specifically in ACP installation (not general cladding — ACP specifically)
• At least 2 years leading a crew, not just installing panels yourself
• Track record supervising a team of 6–15 installers on live commercial or industrial sites
• Working at Height certification or equivalent practical experience with scaffold/MEWP systems

What would make me stand out?

• Experience with large-scale commercial or high-rise ACP projects
• Exposure to fire-rated ACP systems and the added handling/installation care they require
• Basic Arabic for coordinating with site supervisors and other trades
