This position is intended for candidates currently based in Dubai or able to mobilise at short notice. Valid Dubai Municipality professional accreditation/registration and proven experience on G+14 or higher building projects are mandatory screening requirements. Verifiable certificates and project records must be submitted.
The Project Manager will represent the main contractor and assume overall responsibility for site delivery of the Confidenial Residences project, with primary emphasis on civil and structural works. The role will coordinate basements, foundations, superstructure, architectural works, MEP interfaces, fit-out handover and project completion. The position is directly accountable for safety, quality, programme, cost, resources, subcontractors and authority approvals, and will serve as the main site interface with the Employer, Consultant, subcontractors, suppliers and relevant authorities.
Develop the project execution plan, milestones, construction sequence, resource plan and key control points in accordance with the contract, approved drawings, specifications and master programme. Lead weekly, monthly and three-/six-week look-ahead planning, and remain accountable for the critical path, delay risks and recovery measures.
Direct the execution of excavation, shoring, dewatering, piling, raft foundation, basements, superstructure, post-tensioned slabs, masonry, plastering, waterproofing, roofing and associated civil works. Ensure that methods, sequencing, temporary works, vertical transportation and site logistics are appropriate for high-rise construction.
Manage C50/C60 high-strength concrete, reinforcement, formwork, post-tensioning and mass-concrete activities. Review mix designs, trials, pour plans, pumping arrangements, temperature control, testing and quality records, and lead the investigation, rectification and close-out of structural deviations, honeycombing, cracking, leakage and other defects.
Lead the coordination and close-out of shop drawings, materials, mock-ups, method statements, inspection requests, RFIs and non-conformances. Drive interface management between civil works, MEP, façade, aluminium, fit-out and external works to prevent clashes, rework and handover delays.
Act as the principal site representative in dealings with the Employer, Consultant, Dubai Municipality, Trakhees/DDA, Dubai Civil Defence and other applicable authorities. Coordinate authority inspections, NOCs, stage approvals and final clearances, ensuring that all certificates, permits and corrective actions are completed on time.
Implement the Project Quality Plan, inspection and test plans, and HSE management system. Ensure subcontractors comply with approved method statements, risk assessments and permit-to-work requirements. Stop unsafe or non-compliant work when necessary and drive rectification, reinspection and formal close-out.
Manage project budgets, resource allocation, material requirements, plant utilisation, subcontractor capacity, variations and site records. Support the commercial team with quantity verification, payment assessment, claim records, cost forecasting and cash-flow management, and identify and control cost-overrun risks promptly.
Maintain accurate daily, weekly and monthly reports, meeting minutes, risk registers, decision logs and photographic records. Report actual progress, key issues, resource gaps, required decisions and recovery plans clearly to company management, with full transparency on material risks to time, cost or quality.
Coordinate testing, commissioning, defect rectification, as-built drawings, operation and maintenance documentation, final authority approvals, sectional handovers and overall completion. Ensure that contractual completion and Employer acceptance requirements are achieved and manage outstanding works and defect close-out during the defects liability period.
Bachelor's degree or higher in Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering or a closely related discipline. Academic and professional documents must satisfy applicable UAE registration, attestation or equivalency requirements.
Hold valid Dubai Municipality engineering professional accreditation, registration or approval in a category and scope appropriate to the height and main-contract construction scope of this project, covering G+14 or higher buildings. The application must state the certificate category, registration number, approved scope and expiry date, and the original must be presented for verification before appointment.
Minimum 12 years of building construction and project management experience, including at least 7 years with main contractors in the UAE, preferably Dubai. Must have completed at least one G+14 or higher building project and have served as Project Manager or in an equivalent project-lead role.
Demonstrated civil- and structural-led delivery experience on high-rise residential, hospitality or mixed-use buildings, including deep excavations, basements, raft foundations, high-strength concrete, post-tensioned structures, vertical transportation, tower cranes and high-rise logistics. Candidates whose experience is limited to MEP or fit-out without substantial structural delivery responsibility will not meet the role requirement.
Strong working knowledge of Dubai Municipality, Trakhees/DDA and other applicable authority submission, inspection and completion procedures, with the ability to drive NOCs, stage inspections and final approvals independently.
Proficient in Primavera P6 or Microsoft Project for programme preparation, updating, critical-path analysis and recovery planning. Able to review construction drawings, specifications, method statements, quality documents and subcontractor programmes.
Fluent written and spoken English, with the ability to chair meetings and prepare formal correspondence and technical reports. Arabic or Chinese language capability is an advantage. A valid UAE driving licence is required, together with full-time site availability in Dubai and flexibility for construction-stage working hours.
Preference will be given to candidates with full-cycle Dubai high-rise residential experience from mobilisation and structure through completion and handover; prior Project Manager experience with a reputable UAE main contractor; and working knowledge of FIDIC contracts, variations and claims, LEED/Al Sa'fat green-building requirements, BIM coordination, façade delivery and fit-out handover.
Applicants must submit an updated English CV, copy of the Dubai Municipality accreditation/registration certificate, academic and professional certificates, UAE visa status, notice period, salary expectation, UAE driving licence, two verifiable professional references, and a list of high-rise projects personally managed. The project list must identify the project name, location, height/floor count, scale, Employer, Consultant, main contractor, the applicant's title, dates of involvement and principal responsibilities.
