Job PurposeThe Civil/Structural Inspector is responsible for the site supervision of all structural elements, ensuring that piling, enabling works, concrete casting, steel reinforcement, and post-tensioning are executed in strict accordance with approved drawings, project specifications, and local building codes.Core Responsibilities
  • Monitor and inspect all civil/structural installations, including enabling works, foundations, piling, and superstructure, to ensure compliance with approved drawings and method statements.
  • Specialized Inspections:
  • Enabling & Piling: Verify survey coordinates and points. Inspect pile reinforcement cages and casings; attend and record results for pile load/integrity tests.
  • Post-Tension (PT) Slabs: Supervise the installation of tendons, monitor the stressing process, and verify de-shuttering periods based on concrete strength results.
  • Concrete Technology: Supervise concrete casting techniques, verify fresh concrete tests (slump, temperature), and ensure proper curing procedures are followed.
  • Inspect all structural materials delivered to the site (reinforcement, structural steel, additives) for compliance with approved submittals. Verify steel reinforcement detailing and installation against bar bending schedules (BBS).
  • Supervise the installation and erection of structural steel frames and architectural façade systems for alignment and structural integrity.
  • Issue Field Observation Reports and Non-Conformance Reports (NCR) immediately upon identifying deviations. In consultation with the RE, issue violation notices or stop-work orders for non-compliant or unsafe structural work.
  • Maintain precise daily logs and supplement all inspection records with detailed photographs. Ensure all QA/QC documents (IRs, MIRs) are processed within the mandated turnaround time.
  • Update the Resident Engineer/Discipline Engineer on site progress, potential risks, quality issues, and HSE matters. Notify management immediately of any serious structural or safety incidents.
Skills & Experiences
  • Bachelor's Degree or Diploma in Civil or Structural Engineering.
  • Minimum 10 years of total experience, with at least 7-8 years specifically in Site Inspection within a Consultancy or Supervision firm.
  • Proven ability to check coordinates/survey points, inspect piling reinforcement, and interpret pile test results.
  • Hands-on experience in post-tension slab installation and stressing sequences.
  • Thorough knowledge of concrete casting techniques, fresh concrete testing, and complex steel reinforcement detailing.
  • Experience overseeing the installation of structural steel and high-rise façade systems.
  • Strong command of written and spoken English.
Core Competencies
  • Meticulous attention to detail regarding structural tolerances, reinforcement spacing, and surveying accuracy.
  • A “safety-first” mindset, ensuring that no structural shortcuts are taken that could compromise the building’s long-term stability.
  • Ability to quickly interpret complex structural drawings and bar bending schedules to identify potential errors before casting.
  • The confidence to reject non-compliant reinforcement or stop a concrete pour if site conditions do not meet the specification.
  • Capable of managing interfaces between structural elements and MEP penetrations/architectural finishes to prevent site clashes.
  • Proactive in suggesting code-compliant solutions when unforeseen site conditions (e.g., soil issues or existing utilities) affect the structural design.
  • Ensuring that every structural stage is backed by accurate, dated, and photographed records to protect the consultancy and client.
