Quality Control Site Inspector

Job Description

Roles & Responsibilities

Role Purpose

Execute day-to-day inspections, tests, and surveillance across civil, MEP, façade, and finishes works per the ITPs and project specifications—raising MIR/WIR, witnessing tests, preventing non-conformances, and documenting results—so the Category-3 G+3 project achieves first-time quality and smooth authority/consultant sign-offs.


Key Responsibilities

    Inspection Planning & Control

  • Review approved Method Statements, ITPs, drawings/specs; prepare daily/weekly inspection plans aligned to look-ahead schedule.

  • Raise and follow through MIR/WIR with the consultant; maintain a live inspection register and hold/witness points.

   Civil & Structural Inspections

  • Setting-out & formwork: line/level/plumb, dimensions, bracing, release agent, access/edge protection.

  • Reinforcement: size/spacing/couplers, cover blocks, cleanliness; embedded items and openings.

  • Concrete works: slump/temperature checks, cube sampling & labeling, pour sequence, vibration, curing, construction joints; post-pour surface & honeycomb checks.

  • Masonry/Plaster/Screed: block alignment and coursing, ties/anchors, control joints, plaster thickness/flatness, screed falls to drains.

  • Waterproofing: substrate prep, laps/terminations/primers, outlets & upturns, protection boards; flood/dye tests for wet areas/terraces/roofs.

    Façade / Aluminum & Glass

  • Anchors/fasteners torque, frame alignment/tolerances, gaskets/packers, weep/drain paths, perimeter sealant (backer rod, joint size, finish), balustrade fixing and glass edge quality; witness hose/field tests where specified.

    Finishes

  • Tiling: layout, bonding coverage, lippage, movement joints, grout quality; balcony/wet-area falls.

  • Joinery/Doors: frame plumb, reveal gaps, hardware fit, fire-door seals & signage (where applicable).

  • Painting: substrate moisture/flatness, primer type, coat count, DFT/adhesion spot checks, sheen/color uniformity.

   MEP (Plumbing/HVAC/Electrical/ELV/Fire)

  • Plumbing/Drainage: material approvals, slopes/venting, insulation, supports, pressure tests, chlorination & water-quality results.

  • HVAC: duct classes/sealing, supports/clearances, insulation/vapor barriers, pressure/vacuum & leakage tests (if in spec), coil/filters clean before T&C.

  • Electrical: containment spacing/segregation, cable IDs/terminations/torque, IR/continuity, earthing/LP checks, lux & emergency duration tests.

  • Fire & Life Safety: FA device heights/spacing/labels, panel loop tests evidence, hose reel/wet riser installation, pump room layout & test headers, extinguisher types/locations, integrated cause-&-effect witnessing support.

   Testing & Documentation

  • Witness and log laboratory/field tests (concrete cubes, pull-out anchors, PRV settings, pump curves, OTDR/copper certification, etc.).

  • Keep calibrated instrument records and ensure only approved, in-date materials are used.

  • Maintain daily surveillance reports, photo records of concealed works, and redline as-builts with site engineers.

   Non-Conformance & Close-Out

  • Raise NCRs/SORs, agree CARs, verify rectification, and clear snags within SLA; prevent recurrence via toolbox briefings with supervisors.

   Stakeholder & Authority Readiness

  • Present works cleanly for consultant/SCD/SEWA inspections; verify signage, access, and safety during demonstrations (pump runs, FA tests, lifts recall).

  • Coordinate with Document Control to ensure all approvals/test certificates are filed and retrievable.

    HSE Interface (Quality-Critical)

  • Enforce safe conditions during inspections and tests: LOTO for electrical, hot-work permits, working at height for façade checks, confined space for tanks/manholes.


Weather & Traffic Considerations (Sharjah/UAE)

  • Heat & Humidity:

    • Plan inspections with crews early morning/evening; comply with MOHRE summer midday break.

    • Enforce concrete temperature limits and enhanced curing; extend drying/curing checks for screeds, waterproofing, sealants, paints, and adhesives.

    • Verify ventilation/ambient limits in electrical/pump rooms (batteries, panels, controllers).

  • Dust/Sand:

    • Add pre-application clean-surface checks (coatings, sealants, glazing, ELV terminations).

    • Ensure ducts/pipe ends and electrical boxes are sealed; require coil/filters clean before T&C.

  • Occasional Rain/Coastal Influence:

    • Inspect roof/balcony drainage and overflow routes; check re-instated scaffolds/edge protection after rain; weatherproof penetrations and external JBs; prefer corrosion-resistant fixings where specified.

  • Traffic & Logistics:

    • For quality-critical deliveries (switchgear, glass, pumps), schedule off-peak with banksmen; arrange SRTA/Police permits if road occupation/cranes/pumps affect public roads.

    • Keep inspection routes clear; protect completed finishes during material movements.


Qualifications & Experience

  • Diploma/Bachelor’s in Civil/Mechanical/Electrical (or equivalent).

  • 5–8+ years QC inspection experience on UAE/GCC building projects (low/mid-rise).

  • Familiar with project-specified codes/standards (ACI/BS/EN/ASTM/NFPA/IEC) and authority practices (SCD/SEWA/Sharjah Municipality).

  • Competent with ITPs, MIR/WIR, test witnessing, NCR/CAR processes; basic AutoCAD for redlines; MS Office.

  • English required; Arabic an advantage.


Tools & Test Equipment (Typical)

Slump cone & thermometer, cube molds & tags, cover meter, torque wrench, DFT/adhesion gauges, hygrometer/moisture meter, IR thermometer/thermal camera, anemometer/flow hood, manometer, lux & sound level meters, megger & earth tester, cable certifier (Fluke), OTDR, pressure/vacuum gauges, chlorination kit/strips, anchor pull-out tester, labeler, calibrated gauges/PPE.


Core Competencies

  • First-time-pass mindset & attention to detail

  • Clear acceptance criteria and assertive but fair communication

  • Thorough documentation & traceability

  • Cross-trade coordination and practical problem-solving

  • Safety-aware inspection practice


KPIs

  • ≥95% first-time pass on consultant/authority inspections.

  • NCR closure within agreed SLA (e.g., ≤7–14 days) with zero repeat findings.

  • Concrete cube compliance ≥ target; waterproofing flood tests pass first attempt.

  • On-time inspection support enabling riser/ceiling closures and handovers.

  • Minimal DLP defects attributable to workmanship/inspection misses.
