You will serve as the primary point of contact for solving real-time technical issues and ensuring that material usage and labor productivity align with the project schedule.

Key Responsibilities

• Site Supervision & Execution
• Supervise daily construction activities to ensure they meet the methodology and sequencing requirements set by the Project Engineer.
• Coordinate on-site labor and subcontractors to maintain 90% or higher schedule compliance.
• Set out the works and verify levels and dimensions against the latest approved construction drawings.
• Quality Control & Technical Compliance
• Conduct periodic site inspections to identify and resolve technical non-conformities before they escalate.
• Ensure all materials used on-site have been approved through the formal material quality submission process.
• Manage on-site testing and commissioning procedures (e.g., concrete slump tests, cube tests) as required.
• Safety & HSE Management
• Enforce strict adherence to Health, Safety, and Environmental (HSE) protocols among all site workers.
• Identify potential engineering risks on-site and propose immediate mitigation strategies to the Project Manager.
• Ensure zero safety violations occur due to engineering instruction errors.
• Resource & Material Tracking
• Track daily material consumption and report any variances to prevent project shortages.
• Maintain accurate site logs, including weather conditions, labor headcounts, and daily progress diaries.
• Coordinate the receipt and inspection of materials delivered to the site to ensure they match approved Purchase Orders.
• Reporting, Communication & Stakeholder Coordination
• Prepare and submit daily and weekly site progress reports to the Project Lead.
• Provide 24– 72 hours responsiveness to technical queries from site teams or consultants.

• Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
• Site Schedule Compliance: ≥ 90% of weekly site tasks achieved within planned timelines.
• Quality Compliance Rate: ≤ 2 major non-conformities identified during monthly inspections.
• Safety & HSE Support: Zero (0) safety violations arising from engineering instruction errors.
• Drawing & Spec Accuracy: 100% usage of latest approved revisions.
• Resource Efficiency: Zero (0) major material shortages due to planning or tracking errors.
• Issue Resolution: Technical site issues resolved within 24–72 hours.
• Requirements
• Education: BSc or HND in Civil Engineering, Building Technology, or a related field.
• Experience: 3–5 years of experience in site engineering or technical supervision.
• Certifications: Relevant certifications in construction health and safety (e.g., OSHA, NEBOSH) are preferred
• Technical

Skills

• Proficiency in construction software (e.g., AutoCAD, MS Project) and an understanding of engineering drawings and specifications.
