Site Engineer

Site Engineer

Eastern Province, Saudi Arabia · Full-time · On-site

Two positions available

About the role

We are hiring two Site Engineers to lead field execution across a diversified portfolio of commercial, industrial, and residential facilities — showrooms, factories, offices, warehouses, and staff accommodation.

This is a dual-function role. Each Site Engineer manages two Foremen and their trade crews, and handles fit-out and renovation projects alongside routine and emergency maintenance, interchangeably. There is no separate maintenance team — the same crews flex between planned project work and reactive callouts, allocated daily through a central dispatch desk. The role reports to the Operations Manager and draws on the Engineering & Consulting department for technical guidance.

It suits an engineer who is genuinely field-based rather than office-based, comfortable switching between a scheduled fit-out programme and an emergency breakdown in the same day, and able to hold a multi-national trade workforce to standard.

What you will do

Site supervision and execution

· Supervise daily execution of fit-out, renovation, and maintenance work across assigned sites

· Coordinate two Foremen and their trade crews, ensuring work is completed safely, on time, and to specification

· Conduct daily site inspections to verify workmanship, material usage, and compliance with drawings and specifications

· Resolve on-site technical issues; escalate complex problems to the Operations Manager or Engineering

Project coordination

· Assist in preparing project plans, schedules, and material requirements

· Track progress on assigned sites and report status, delays, and issues

· Coordinate material deliveries, equipment needs, and subcontractor activities

· Maintain project documentation — daily logs, progress photos, punch lists, handover records

Maintenance oversight

· Oversee routine and emergency maintenance assigned through the dispatch desk

· Ensure work orders are completed within agreed response and resolution times

· Conduct post-completion inspections before sign-off

· Report recurring issues and recommend preventive action

Workforce coordination

· Manage daily crew assignments in coordination with the dispatch desk

· Monitor attendance, productivity, and overtime of assigned Foremen and crews

· Provide on-the-job coaching and technical guidance

· Report performance issues and recommend corrective action

Safety and compliance

· Enforce site safety standards across all assigned work

· Conduct toolbox talks and pre-work safety briefings

· Report and document incidents; participate in investigations

What we are looking for

· Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering, or a diploma in Construction Management with additional experience

· 5 to 8 years in construction site supervision, fit-out, or facility maintenance

· Experience supervising multi-trade crews — civil, electrical, plumbing, and finishing trades

· Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, specifications, and BOQs

· Familiarity with work order systems and preventive maintenance scheduling

· GCC experience preferred

· English required; Arabic an advantage; Hindi or Urdu useful for workforce communication

How you will be measured

· Assigned projects and maintenance tasks completed on time and to standard

· Accuracy and timeliness of daily site reporting

· Trade crew utilization on assigned sites

· Zero safety incidents

· Rework rate on completed work
