Drive project progress, identify critical path activities, and proactively manage risks and issues to ensure timely and cost-effective completion of civil work. Lead and mentor a team of civil engineers, supervisors, and site personnel, fostering a collaborative and high-performance environment. Site Supervision & Execution: Oversee and direct all aspects of civil construction, including extensive piling works, complex building foundations (for heavy machinery and sensitive manufacturing equipment), structural steel erection, reinforced concrete structures, building construction for manufacturing areas, administrative blocks, and ancillary facilities. Manage the development and implementation of site infrastructure, including roads, pathways, heavy-duty paving, storm drainage systems, sanitary drainage, utility trenches, and external landscaping. Ensure strict adherence to design specifications, engineering drawings, and quality standards for all materials and workmanship. Quality Control & Assurance: Establish and enforce robust quality control procedures for all civil work, including regular inspections, material testing protocols, and documentation. Review and approve contractor Method Statements, Inspection and Test Plans (ITPs), and quality records. Identify and rectify any deviations from design or quality standards promptly. Contractor & Vendor Management: Manage and coordinate civil contractors, subcontractors, and material suppliers, ensuring their performance aligns with project requirements, timelines, and safety standards. Review and validate contractor progress claims, variations, and invoices. Conduct regular reviews of contractors and implement corrective actions as needed. Technical Review & Problem Solving: Conduct in-depth technical review of civil engineering designs, shop drawings, material submittals, and construction methodologies. Provide expert guidance and innovative solutions to complex civil engineering challenges encountered during construction. Collaborate with design consultants to optimize designs for constructability, cost-efficiency, and long-term durability. Cross-Functional Coordination: Coordinate extensively with other disciplines, including structural, architectural, and particularly oversee MEP interfaces specifically for administrative areas to ensure seamless integration and avoid clashes. Liaise closely with the Process Engineering, EHS, Procurement, and Project Management Office teams. Safety & Environmental Compliance: Champion a proactive safety culture on site, ensuring all civil construction activities strictly comply with company EHS policies, local regulations, and international best practices. Conduct regular safety audits, risk assessments, and promote hazard identification and mitigation. Ensure environmental compliance related to all civil construction activities, including waste management, erosion control, and site remediation. Reporting & Documentation: Prepare and present comprehensive progress reports, cost forecasts, and technical documentation to senior management and stakeholders. Maintain accurate and organized project records, including daily logs, progress photos, inspection reports, and as-built drawings. Qualifications: Bachelor’s degree in civil engineering from a recognized and accredited university. Minimum of 10 years of progressive experience in civil construction, with significant and demonstrable experience in large-scale industrial and manufacturing facility projects. Proven track record in leading civil construction teams and managing complex projects from greenfield development to commissioning. Extensive hands-on experience with all types of civil work involved in manufacturing facilities, including: Deep foundations (piling: bored, driven, etc.) Heavy-duty machine foundations Reinforced concrete structures Structural steel erection for industrial buildings Roads, drainage, and comprehensive site infrastructure Building construction for manufacturing facilities and administrative blocks. Solid understanding of construction laws, building codes, and relevant industry standards (e.g., IS, ACI, AISC). Strong proficiency in civil engineering software; Microsoft Projects’ proficiency is preferred but not compulsory. Excellent project management, organizational, and strategic planning skills. Exceptional leadership, communication (written and verbal), negotiation, and interpersonal skills. Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, challenging project environment and manage multiple priorities effectively. Demonstrated commitment to safety and quality excellence. Show more Show less
