Construction Manager

We are seeking an experienced Construction Manager to lead and oversee the execution of multiple construction projects, with a strong focus on on-site operations, technical quality, subcontractor management, and engineering team leadership.

The Construction Manager will be responsible for managing the company’s site engineers and ensuring that all subcontractors execute their works in accordance with approved drawings, specifications, contracts, quality standards, and project schedules.

This is a field-based role and requires a highly technical and hands-on construction professional who is capable of identifying execution issues, coordinating different trades, resolving technical problems, and driving projects toward successful completion.

Key responsibilities include managing site engineering teams, supervising subcontractors across all disciplines, coordinating civil, architectural and MEP works, monitoring construction progress, reviewing workmanship quality, resolving site conflicts, controlling sequencing between trades, monitoring material requirements, and ensuring that works are properly completed before inspection and handover.

The Construction Manager will also conduct regular site inspections, lead site coordination meetings, monitor subcontractor performance, identify delays and risks, implement recovery actions when required, and provide management with clear progress updates and recommendations.

• Minimum 10 years of relevant construction experience, preferably with a main contractor or general contracting company.
