We're looking for an experienced and hands-on Construction Manager to lead the delivery of a high-complexity, high-end construction project in Dubai.
This is a senior site-based position for someone with 10+ years of construction experience and a strong technical background across complex construction activities, particularly excavation, shoring, foundations, structural works, and large-scale site operations.
You'll take ownership of the day-to-day construction delivery, working closely with the Project Manager, Head of Construction, consultants, subcontractors, and the wider international project team.
We're looking for someone who can operate confidently at both a technical and managerial level — someone who understands what is happening on site, can anticipate construction risks, coordinate multiple stakeholders, and make decisions that keep the project moving without compromising quality, safety, or programme.
Responsibilities
- Lead and manage day-to-day construction activities across the project, ensuring delivery in accordance with approved drawings, specifications, programme, budget, and quality standards.
- Oversee complex site operations, including excavation, shoring, dewatering, foundations, structural works, and associated temporary works.
- Coordinate and supervise main contractors, subcontractors, consultants, specialist trades, and site teams.
- Review construction methodologies, sequencing, shop drawings, method statements, and technical submissions.
- Monitor progress against the construction programme and proactively identify delays, risks, and potential constraints.
- Work closely with the Project Manager and Head of Construction to develop and implement construction strategies and recovery plans where required.
- Conduct regular site inspections and ensure that works are executed in accordance with approved designs, specifications, and applicable UAE regulations.
- Take ownership of construction quality, identifying defects and coordinating corrective actions with contractors and consultants.
- Ensure compliance with Dubai/UAE building regulations, HSE requirements, and relevant construction standards.
- Coordinate site logistics, labour, plant, materials, deliveries, access, and sequencing to maintain efficient site operations.
- Monitor contractor performance and hold subcontractors accountable for programme, quality, safety, and agreed deliverables.
- Review and challenge technical and logistical solutions where necessary, proposing practical alternatives to resolve site constraints.
