QA/QC Engineer

QAQC Engineer Jobs in Dubai – Job Overview

Tarrad Development is recruiting a QA/QC Engineer for ongoing and upcoming high-rise building projects in Dubai, UAE. For applicants seeking work as a QAQC Engineer in UAE, this vacancy focuses on construction quality. The notice gives the address as Suite 28, U Bora Tower, Business Bay, Dubai. High-rise building construction experience is mandatory. The advertised role sits within quality assurance and quality control.

Job description

In general high-rise construction practice, QA/QC connects planned quality controls with checks on completed work. Quality assurance sets out how teams prevent errors; quality control checks whether work meets requirements. Before an activity starts, the engineer reviews drawings, specifications, and the proposed work method. These documents show what the team must build and which checks matter. Next, the engineer compares acceptance criteria with the inspection plan. This plan identifies checks that must happen before later work hides the result. If documents disagree, the engineer seeks clarification from the responsible technical team before accepting the affected work.

Material checks link physical deliveries to the evidence supporting their use. When materials arrive, the engineer compares their identification with approved submissions and relevant delivery records. The review may include product markings, batch numbers, condition, and supporting test certificates. However, matching paperwork alone does not prove that damaged or unsuitable material meets requirements. The engineer separates the document question from the physical condition question. If evidence remains incomplete, the site and purchasing teams need clear details of the gap. They can then obtain missing information or arrange the appropriate next step. Keeping those records linked to the material helps later inspections trace what entered the building.

Checks and exception handling

A typical inspection decision arises before concrete placement on a high-rise floor. The engineer compares reinforcement, concrete cover, and embedded items against the relevant approved details. Concrete cover means the distance between reinforcing steel and the concrete surface. Suppose an opening appears in a slab, but the latest structural drawing does not show it. The engineer should not assume that a verbal explanation resolves the difference. Instead, the engineer identifies the exact location and asks the responsible engineer to confirm the detail. The site team needs to know which area remains unresolved before placement proceeds there. Once clarification arrives, the quality check can confirm the actual arrangement against that decision.

Testing adds measured evidence, but useful results depend on clear identification and suitable methods. The engineer first checks which tests the specification calls for and when they must occur. Then, sample records should connect each result to a material batch or work location. The engineer also checks relevant measuring equipment records before relying on readings. When results arrive, the review compares them with the stated acceptance limits. A result outside those limits needs technical review, not a quiet change to the record. The engineer informs the responsible site and technical staff so they can decide the next action. This keeps a laboratory result connected to a practical site decision.

Coordination and completion

When work fails a specified requirement, the quality record should explain the actual difference. A nonconformance report records work or material that does not meet an agreed requirement. The engineer identifies the location, supporting evidence, and applicable acceptance criterion. However, the report should distinguish the observed problem from an unconfirmed cause. The responsible team proposes a correction, while the appropriate technical authority reviews the solution. After the team completes the correction, the engineer checks the result against the agreed method. Closing the record requires evidence of an acceptable outcome, not only a promise to repair. Reviewing repeated defects can also show where an earlier control needs improvement.

Completion depends on records that let another reviewer follow the quality history. As areas progress, the engineer brings inspection results, test reports, and outstanding issues together. The records need consistent locations and clear references to the relevant work. Otherwise, a valid test may offer little help during a later review. The engineer checks that unresolved items remain visible rather than disappearing between teams. Before handover, quality staff compare completed records with the required acceptance package. They also communicate missing evidence to the people who can supply it. This final review separates completed work from work that still needs a check or decision.

Typical Duties & Responsibilities

• Review subcontractor quality submissions for missing approvals or unclear responsibilities before the relevant work package starts.
• Prepare activity checklists that give inspectors clear acceptance points and space to record the actual findings.
• Brief site teams on recurring workmanship defects, using clear examples to explain the required standard of finish.
• Carry out quality audits to check whether site teams follow the agreed procedures and keep usable records.
• Track defect trends by activity or location so supervisors can target repeated causes rather than isolated symptoms.
• Check protection of finished work and report damage risks before later construction activities affect accepted surfaces.
• Maintain snag lists with clear locations and descriptions so repair teams can find each item without guesswork.
• Review design changes for their effect on inspection needs, highlighting any checks that the revised detail adds.

Candidate Profile

Applicants can prepare a truthful example of improving the completeness of inspection records across several floors. Explain the original gap, your own contribution, and how you checked the improvement. If you share supporting evidence, remove confidential project details and respect the document owner's permission. Also, be ready to describe your actual high-rise project exposure without claiming work that others completed. Before accepting an offer, clarify the project assignment, reporting line, inspection authority, and site attendance arrangements. State your real notice period rather than promising an earlier start you cannot meet.

Qualifications & Requirements

• Experience: Other Positions: Minimum 5 years of relevant UAE experience.
• High-rise building construction experience is mandatory for ALL positions.
• Strong technical knowledge, project execution capabilities, and familiarity with UAE construction standards and regulations.
• Excellent communication, coordination, and problem-solving skills.
• Preference will be given to candidates who are available to join immediately or within a short notice period.
