The role sits at the point where design intent meets site execution: reading drawings and specifications, raising inspection requests, and closing out non-conformances with consultants before work is signed off. Demand for this role tends to spike when a mega infrastructure project moves from substructure into superstructure, since that is when reinforced concrete and structural quality control become the critical path. UAE site experience is consistently a non-negotiable requirement, given the specific consultant inspection and approval processes used locally.
