Plan, secure, and manage all authority NOCs/permits and utility connections from design through handover, ensuring the plot’s power, water, sewer/stormwater, telecom, and access works are approved, constructed, inspected, and commissioned on programme—while complying with UAE/Sharjah requirements and accounting for weather and traffic/logistics constraints.
Utility clearances & tie-ins: LV power service/metering, potable water connection/metering, sewer/stormwater lateral approvals, telecom ducting & service.
Road/traffic: road cutting & reinstatement, detours/closures, crane/pump placements, night-work permissions.
Excavation/trenching: permit to dig, utility locates, protection/diversions.
Waste & site operations: construction waste registration/collection, skip locations.
Finals: completion/handover letters, connection activations, meter energization.
Collect base data: as-built utility maps, existing service capacities, connection points, and utility setbacks/wayleaves.
Lead utility detection/locates and coordinate trial pits/survey where needed.
Advise design team on corridor routes, crossing methods, clearances, and trench sections.
Prepare and submit NOC packages (drawings, method statements, traffic management plans, reinstatement details, load/calcs) to relevant authorities.
Track comments, manage re-submissions, and maintain a live authority tracker with target/actual dates and dependencies.
Obtain material approvals for ducts, chambers, valves, cables, and reinstatement materials per authority standards.
Secure permits for road cutting/occupancy, barricading, signage, lighting, and night/off-peak working when required.
Coordinate with SRTA/Police and the consultant on Traffic Management Plans (TMPs) and detours; ensure banksmen and access for emergency vehicles.
Schedule works to minimize disruption to neighbors, schools, mosques, and businesses.
Plan and supervise utility protection (sleeves, concrete encasement, offsets) and minor diversions where approved.
Coordinate shutdowns/tie-ins with utility providers; ensure method statements, isolations, and contingency plans are in place.
Verify trench bedding/backfill, compaction, duct proving, mandrelling, and cable pulling tests as applicable.
Manage meter applications, inspections, and energization/activation appointments (power/water/telecom).
Witness pressure/leak tests, continuity & insulation tests, and any CCTV/mandrel tests for ducts/drains.
Close snag lists and secure connection/activation letters.
Maintain NOC registers, permits, correspondence, and approvals; control drawings/transmittals with Document Control.
Compile as-builts, test certificates, reinstatement approvals, and final authority letters for handover.
Keep daily logs: crew/plant, trench length opened/closed, inspections passed, reinstatement quantities.
Enforce permit-to-dig, buried services briefings, and exclusion zones; coordinate gas testing/confined-space controls for manholes.
Ensure compliant barricading, lighting, and pedestrian management; integrate with project HSE plan.
Heat & Humidity:
Schedule trenching/tie-ins early morning/evening; comply with MOHRE summer midday break.
Implement heat-stress controls (hydration, shade, rotations); monitor asphalt temperature for proper reinstatement.
Dust/Sand:
Use dust suppression (water carts), cover stockpiles/truckloads, and protect nearby properties; keep chambers/ducts clean before tests.
Occasional Rain/Flash Water & Coastal Effects:
Provide temporary drainage/sumps; protect trench faces and backfill from erosion; inspect after rain before reinstatement.
Use corrosion-resistant hardware where specified near coastal influence.
Traffic & Access:
Prefer off-peak/night works for crossings; coordinate deliveries and diversions around school/prayer hours.
Maintain two-way or controlled one-way flow per TMP; ensure SRTA/Police permits are current and displayed.
Diploma/Bachelor’s in Civil/Infrastructure/Construction Management (or equivalent).
7–10+ years UAE/GCC experience obtaining utility NOCs/permits and managing trenching/road reinstatement on building projects.
Proven liaison with Sharjah Municipality, SEWA, SRTA/Police, Etisalat/e&/du, Bee’ah.
Strong reading of utility drawings, TMPs, and reinstatement specs; competent with MS Office/Excel trackers; AutoCAD (read/mark-up).
Authority liaison & negotiation under deadlines
Planning/sequencing of street works and tie-ins
Risk & stakeholder management (public interface)
Documentation discipline and follow-through
HSE leadership around live traffic and buried services
