Site Engineer – Joinery | Job in Dubai

Job Description

You’re basically the go-to legend when it comes to joinery. The boss. The one everyone side-eyes when they’re unsure if that corner joint is actually square, or if Jimmy’s just “eyeballing it” again. You clock the dodgy shortcuts from a mile away, and let’s be real—if the timeline’s sliding off the rails, it’s not because you missed it. You probably called it three days ago and nobody listened.

And coordination? Ha, you’re basically glued to your phone—hammer in one hand, mobile in the other—juggling calls between project managers, stressed-out subs, and some supplier who swears the hardware’s “just around the corner.” You’re the glue holding the circus together, making sure everyone’s (sort of) on the same page so the site doesn’t turn into one giant migraine.

There is always some fire to put out – if it is not the messed up drawing, it is something silly that happened on the shop floor. Just another day in paradise, right?

And keeping the ball rolling? That’s all you. Part cheerleader, part reality checker, and a little bit of therapist when the revenue is coming down around us. Schedules? You are glued to them. You spot issues before they explode and if they do, you know you already have a contingency plan. And get ready for the daily updates that management loves. Management wants the nitty gritty – good, bad, ugly – no sugar coating. The thing is, everyone loves a comeback story, so own the fact that something did not go as planned, then show how
