Job Title: QA/QC Engineer (Construction – Buildings & Villas)
We are currently seeking a qualified, experienced, and detail-oriented QA/QC Engineer to join our construction team in Abu Dhabi. This is an urgent hiring requirement, and immediate joiners will be given preference.
This role is ideal for a civil engineer who understands that quality assurance is the backbone of successful construction projects. You will be the gatekeeper of quality—ensuring that every construction activity, from material delivery to final handover, meets project specifications, regulatory requirements, and the highest industry standards.
If you have a Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, 3 to 5 years of construction experience (buildings or villas preferred), and strong knowledge of QA/QC procedures including ITP, MIR, WIR, RFI, and NCR documentation, we want to hear from you today.
Key Responsibilities
As a QA/QC Engineer at Datum General Contracting, your daily responsibilities will include:
1. Implementing QA/QC Procedures
You will establish, implement, and maintain quality assurance and quality control procedures on site. You will ensure that every construction activity aligns with approved method statements and project specifications.
2. Preparing Inspection & Test Plans (ITP)
You will prepare and review Inspection and Test Plans for all construction activities. These plans will define quality control checkpoints, testing frequencies, and acceptance criteria.
3. Conducting Material & Site Inspections
You will perform regular material inspections to verify compliance with approved samples and specifications. You will also conduct site quality checks at every stage of construction—from foundation to finishing.
4. Coordinating with Consultants & Clients
You will liaise with consultants, client representatives, and third-party inspectors to schedule and conduct joint inspections. You will ensure that all approvals are obtained before proceeding to the next construction phase.

- MIR (Material Inspection Request) – For all incoming materials
- WIR (Work Inspection Request) – For completed work stages
- RFI (Request for Information) – For clarifications on drawings or specifications
- NCR (Non-Conformance Report) – For identifying and tracking quality deviations
6. Raising & Closing NCRs
You will raise Non-Conformance Reports whenever work or materials deviate from specifications. You will work with site teams to implement corrective actions and ensure timely closure of all NCRs.
7. Monitoring Subcontractor Quality
You will monitor the work of subcontractors to ensure they adhere to the same quality standards as the main contract. You will conduct regular audits and provide feedback for improvement.
8. Maintaining Quality Records
You will maintain a complete, auditable trail of all quality documentation, inspection reports, test results, and correspondence. Your records will support project handover and warranty periods.
