Our client is currently seeking a dynamic Junior Quality & Site Engineer to join a Pre Treatment Water Plant Project team. This unique role offers a dual-phase experience, transitioning from high-level equipment quality management to hands-on site coordination during the critical erection phase of a major infrastructure project.

• Site Coordination: Oversee subcontractors during mechanical and piping installation for key areas (Dewatering, Chemical Building, Lime System).

• QA/QC Terrain: Proactively complete ITPs/ITRs, perform pre-test checks (supports, valves, punch points), and maintain records in RIB CX.

• Logistics: Coordinate unloading, laydown zones, and plant requirements (Franna, Manitou) with the Mechanical Supervisor.

• Technical Reporting: Flag constructability issues, clashes, or material shortages early to the Project Engineer.

Your Profile
