What You'll Be Doing:

• Oversee and inspect construction activities related to structural works (e.g., foundations, retaining structures, piers, buildings, and related infrastructure) for the island project.
• Monitor contractors’ work to ensure compliance with approved drawings, specifications, codes, and relevant standards.
• Conduct regular site inspections and prepare detailed inspection reports, including photos, measurements, and observations of non-conformances.
• Verify quality of materials and workmanship, including concrete, steel, masonry, and other structural components, and witness testing as required.
• Check formwork, reinforcement placement, concrete pouring, curing, and structural connections to ensure structural integrity and safety.
• Review and comment on method statements, inspection and test plans (ITPs), and quality control procedures submitted by contractors.
• Coordinate with construction supervisors, site engineers, and quality teams to resolve technical issues and non-conformances.
• Ensure all structural work respects project plans, geotechnical constraints, marine/shoreline conditions, and environmental protection requirements specific to island construction.
• Monitor progress of structural works against the construction program and flag potential delays or risks to the project schedule.
• Enforce safety standards and participate in toolbox talks and safety audits, with a focus on structural work activities (e.g., lifting, working at heights, marine works).
• Support inspections for handover, snagging, and final acceptance of structural elements and related civil works.
• Maintain organized records of inspections, test results, approvals, and as-built information for structural components.

What Required Skills You'll Bring:

• Diploma or degree in Civil Engineering or Structural Engineering, or equivalent technical qualification.
• Proven experience (typically 5-7) in structural inspection or construction supervision on infrastructure projects.
• Strong understanding of structural engineering principles and construction practices (e.g., reinforcement detailing, concrete works, structural steel erection).
• Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, specifications, and technical documents.
• Good communication skills to coordinate with contractors, consultants, and client representatives on site.
• Commitment to health, safety, and environmental regulations, especially in a remote/island construction environment.
• Basic computer skills, including use of email, MS Office (Word, Excel), and document management systems.

What Desired Skills You'll Bring:

• Experience working on island, coastal, or marine-related projects (e.g., jetties, sea defenses, waterfront structures).
• Familiarity with geotechnical and coastal engineering considerations that affect structural works on islands.
• Experience with large-scale infrastructure projects involving multiple stakeholders and contractors.
