Job Description: Site Manager Department: Construction / Site Operations Location: Dubai Salary: 30 K AED
About the Role The Site Superintendent is the full-time, on-the-ground authority over daily construction execution — physically present on site every working day, directing the sequence of works, coordinating trades and subcontractors, and resolving problems in real time before they cause delays or defects. This role reports directly to the CEO, providing an on-site presence and daily execution reporting independent of the existing site supervision structure.
Requirements & Qualifications Education● Diploma or degree in Civil Engineering, Construction Management, or related field preferred; extensive hands-on site experience may substitute for formal qualification. Experience● Minimum 8–10 years' experience as a Site Superintendent, General Foreman, or Прораб on construction projects, with direct hands-on experience on high-rise construction (mandatory).● Demonstrated experience coordinating multiple trades and subcontractors simultaneously on an active high-rise site.● Practical knowledge of core/shear wall sequencing, jump-form/climbing formwork cycles, and vertical logistics (crane and hoist scheduling) typical of high-rise builds.● Experience working on UAE construction sites and familiarity with local site safety and labour practices preferred.
Key Responsibilities● Run daily site execution — direct subcontractors and trade foremen on sequencing, manpower deployment, and work fronts.● Own the daily/weekly look-ahead schedule — translate the master programme into what actually happens on the ground each day.● Coordinate site logistics — material staging, crane/hoist scheduling, site access, and safety zoning between trades.● Act as first point of contact for on-site problem solving — trade clashes, access conflicts, immediate coordination decisions.● Enforce day-to-day HSE compliance on site (in coordination with, not replacing, a dedicated HSE officer).● Coordinate directly with subcontractor foremen as the primary "boots on the ground" management layer.● Flag progress and delay risks directly to the CEO as they arise, rather than waiting for formal reporting cycles.● Escalate any quality, safety, or coordination issues immediately — including those involving the Resident Engineer or main contractor — without independent authority to halt works.● Walk the site multiple times daily; maintain a daily site log of activities, manpower, and issues encountered.
Skills & Attributes● Strong hands-on leadership — comfortable directing trade foremen and resolving conflicts on the spot.● High attention to daily progress, sequencing, and site conditions.● Reliable, direct reporting habits — able to flag problems to the CEO clearly and promptly.● Physically able to be on-site full time, walking the works multiple times a day in all site conditions.
Language● Fluent Russian speaker — able to communicate directly with Russian-speakingownership/stakeholders.● Working English required for daily reporting and coordination with the Resident Engineer and contractor teams.
