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 &mdash; 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 &amp; construction methodology<ul><li>
Review master-plan and design information for buildability, flagging conflicts, clashes and construction risks early.</li><li>
Develop and compare construction methodologies &mdash; 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.</li><li>
Provide constructability input to designers and support value engineering and simplification of construction methods.</li></ul>
Construction phasing &amp; sequencing<ul><li>
Prepare 2D (and, where required, 4D) phasing plans showing the sequence of assets, roads, utilities and temporary works across the programme.</li><li>
Develop sequencing and line-of-balance logic to enable efficient progress and timely asset opening.</li><li>
Keep phasing aligned to the latest project programme (IDS / master schedule) and design revisions.</li></ul>
Site logistics &amp; land take<ul><li>
Plan construction logistics: laydown/land-take zones, haul and temporary construction roads, access and offloading areas, batching-plant locations, and crane/lifting zones.</li><li>
Develop traffic-management and delivery strategies (HGV movements, worker transport and accommodation needs) for congested, multi-contractor sites.</li></ul>
Implementation / production metrics<ul><li>
Develop implementation metrics over time using GFA, programme data and regional benchmarks &mdash; e.g. GFA under construction, workforce, concrete volumes, heavy-vehicle movements, tower-crane and plant demand, and asset/key delivery curves.</li><li>
Use these metrics to support decisions on facilities, resourcing and contractor demand.</li></ul>
Packaging &amp; procurement support<ul><li>
Support development of contract/work-packaging strategies, including allocation of assets across contractor tiers and input on procurement routes (e.g. Design &amp; Build vs traditional).</li><li>
Identify opportunities to combine or split packages for efficiency.</li></ul>
Interface &amp; coordination<ul><li>
Coordinate across master-planning, infrastructure, utilities, roads and mobility/rail teams, and between multiple contractors, to manage interfaces and dependencies.</li></ul>
Risk<ul><li>
Identify implementation risks, carry out qualitative assessment (probability/impact, pre- and post-mitigation), and propose practical mitigations and next steps.</li></ul>
Reporting &amp; document production<ul><li>
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.</li></ul> 
What do we need from you

Bachelor's degree in Civil, Structural or Construction Engineering (or a related discipline).</li><li>
Approximately 5&ndash;8 years of relevant experience on large building and/or infrastructure projects, with a contractor, consultant/PMC or developer.</li><li>

Sound working knowledge of construction methods, sequencing and site logistics on large, complex projects.</li></ul>
Desirable / advantageous<ul><li>
Experience on giga-/mega-projects or large mixed-use developments, ideally in the Gulf region.</li><li>
Exposure to deep basements, tunnelling/metro, bridges or heavy civil works.</li><li>
Working towards professional registration/chartership (e.g. CEng / PE).</li><li>
Master's degree in a relevant discipline.</li></ul>
Technical competencies
Essential<ul><li>
AutoCAD / Civil 3D and GIS (ArcGIS or QGIS) for spatial planning and phasing.</li><li>
Programme literacy &mdash; able to read and work to Primavera P6 / MS Project schedules.</li><li>
Advanced Excel, with strong reporting and presentation skills.</li></ul>
Desirable<ul><li>
4D/BIM tools (e.g. Synchro, Navisworks) and data-visualisation tools (e.g. Power BI).</li><li>
Document/graphics tools (e.g. Adobe InDesign) for producing high-quality reports.</li></ul>
