The source describes the employer as a main contractor. It lists the address as Landmark Tower – Al Hisn, Al Markaziyah West, P.O.Box 73307, Abu Dhabi - UAE. The role concerns quality assurance and quality control.

Job description

In general MEP work, QA/QC covers quality assurance and quality control. MEP means mechanical, electrical and plumbing services. Quality assurance sets checks before work starts; quality control checks the finished result. A senior engineer normally begins with the current drawings, specifications and inspection plan. Together, these show what the installation must achieve and when checks should happen. The engineer compares document revisions before using them to judge work. If two documents differ, the responsible design contact needs to clarify the requirement. This prevents inspectors from accepting one standard while the installation team follows another.

Before installation, the engineer usually checks whether materials match the approved technical details. Product markings, delivery records and certificates help link a delivered item to its approval. However, a matching product name alone may not prove suitability. The size, rating and intended use must also match the design requirement. Any unclear item needs a clear status so installers do not use it by mistake. The engineer records the difference and asks the relevant technical contact for a decision. Once that contact resolves the issue, the records should show which items the team can use.

Checks and exception handling

During installation, inspection timing matters because later work can hide important details. The engineer normally checks access, installation readiness and the relevant inspection points with site staff. They compare visible work with drawings and record the exact area they checked. For services above ceilings, the inspection sequence should allow checks before closure. Also, the engineer distinguishes completed work from work that still needs access or correction. A clear inspection record states the result and any limits of the check. This gives the site team a reliable basis for planning the next construction activity without treating partial checks as full acceptance.

For example, a chilled water pipe test may show a pressure drop. This general MEP example calls for investigation, not an immediate conclusion about leaking joints. The engineer first checks the approved test method, gauge validity and recorded readings. They also confirm that the test team isolated the correct pipe section. Next, they ask the responsible team to investigate possible causes under safe test conditions. The record should show the affected section, findings and required next action. After correction, the team repeats the relevant test and records the result. Until the evidence supports acceptance, the engineer keeps the inspection status clear for the site manager and inspection parties.

Coordination and completion

At senior level, the engineer also looks for patterns across inspection findings. Several similar defects may point to an unclear work method rather than separate mistakes. Therefore, reviewing the cause helps the team choose a correction that lasts. The engineer discusses findings with the people directing the work and identifies who owns each action. They then check whether the action changed later inspection results. A closed report alone does not prove that the problem stopped. Instead, the review should connect the original issue, the corrective action and evidence from subsequent work.

Before handover, quality records need to tell a complete story for each system. The engineer normally links inspection results, test reports and outstanding items to clear equipment or area references. They check that the record set covers the installed work, not an earlier design alone. Where an item remains open, the handover team needs its status and responsible contact. As a result, missing evidence becomes visible before final review. A useful completion summary separates accepted work from unresolved items. It also helps the receiving team find the records needed for later checks, maintenance or defect follow-up.

Typical Duties & Responsibilities

• Review subcontractor quality submissions for missing inspection stages, and return clear comments before technical review proceeds.
• Maintain an inspection request register so each request shows its location, review status and next required action.
• Check measuring equipment records for valid calibration dates, and flag instruments that cannot support reliable inspection evidence.
• Prepare quality meeting summaries that identify unresolved technical questions, action owners and agreed follow-up points for each issue.
• Check stored MEP materials for damage and suitable protection, and report conditions that could affect their later use.
• Review inspection comments for clear acceptance criteria so site teams understand what evidence will resolve each comment.
• Brief inspectors on revised technical requirements, then confirm that their checklists reflect the changes relevant to their work.
• Track outstanding quality approvals against upcoming construction activities, and alert the responsible team when missing decisions could block progress.

Candidate Profile

Applicants can prepare a truthful example of improving an electrical inspection checklist. Explain what the old checklist missed, how you raised the issue and what changed afterward. If available, use a non-confidential summary to show your own contribution. Separate decisions you made from approvals that belonged to others. Also, be ready to explain how you judged the result. Before accepting an offer, ask about the reporting line, assigned MEP scope and inspection authority. Clarify the qualification expected for the role and whether the work covers one project or several.

Qualifications & Requirements

• Experience: 3 Years.
• Qualified and experienced candidates

Useful Skills & Competencies

• Technical interpretation: Understand MEP drawings and specifications well enough to explain the basis for a quality decision.
• Evidence assessment: Distinguish a measured result from an assumption when reviewing whether work meets a stated requirement.
• Technical writing: Describe a defect clearly, using precise locations and facts that another engineer can understand.
• Risk judgement: Recognise which quality issues could affect concealed work, system performance or later access for repairs.
• Constructive challenge: Question unclear technical claims calmly while keeping discussions focused on the agreed acceptance standard.
• Team guidance: Explain inspection reasoning to less experienced colleagues without replacing the project's formal approval responsibilities.
