The Role

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced PMC Senior Construction Engineer for all yard activities, ensuring projects are completed on time, within budget, and according to quality and safety standards for a high-profile client.

Job Objective

The Senior Construction Engineer Fabrication Yard is responsible for monitoring, supervising, and coordinating fabrication and construction activities undertaken by EPC contractors and fabrication subcontractors on behalf of the Project Management Consultancy (PMC) for ADNOC projects.

The role ensures that fabrication, assembly, welding, structural erection, piping spool fabrication, equipment integration, surface preparation, coating, and related yard activities are executed in accordance with approved engineering drawings, project specifications, ADNOC standards, applicable international codes, quality requirements, and HSE procedures.

The position provides technical construction oversight, monitors contractor performance and fabrication progress, coordinates multidisciplinary interfaces, and ensures that completed modules, structural assemblies, piping systems, and other fabricated components meet project requirements before dispatch to the project site or offshore installation location. The role also supports inspection, testing, documentation, preservation, and transportation readiness to achieve project milestones safely and efficiently.
