* Assist with cost tracking - comparing actual spend against budget, flagging variations

* Prepare project reports, meeting minutes, and client/consultant correspondence

* Coordinate site visits, inspections, and quality checks alongside the Site Engineer/Supervisor

* Maintain organized project documentation: drawings, submittals, RFIs, variation orders, snag lists

* Support handover process - compiling as-built drawings, warranties, and O&M documentation

Requirements:

* Minimum 5 years of experience as a Project Engineer in fitout, interior, or construction projects in the UAE
