The idea candidate will be responsible for designing, calculating, and approving safe, efficient, and cost-effective temporary works and scaffolding systems that comply with the highest international safety standards and Dubai's strict regulatory requirements.

Key Responsibilities

• Design & Analysis: Develop detailed design calculations, drawings, and methodologies for a wide range of temporary works, including but not limited to:
• Complex Scaffolding: Design for facade access, shoring, support structures, slip-forming, cantilever scaffolds, and material loading platforms.
• Formwork & Falsework: Design of support systems for concrete pours of significant volume and complexity.
• Temporary Support Structures: Design of propping, jacking, and stabilization systems for existing structures.
• Earthworks Support: Design of trench shoring and excavation support systems.
• Software Proficiency: Utilize industry-standard design software (e.g., AutoCAD, Revit, Tekla, STAAD.Pro , or similar) to create accurate models and drawings.
• Compliance & Standards: Ensure all designs fully comply with relevant international codes (BS, Eurocodes), Dubai Municipality regulations, and company-specific Health, Safety, Quality, and Environmental (HSQE) policies.
• Documentation: Prepare comprehensive design reports, risk assessments, method statements, and all necessary technical documentation for client and authority approval.
