Skatch Inc is currently scouting for a dedicated Civil Engineering Technician Trainee to join their field team for major infrastructure projects across the Saudi Arabian border. If you are looking to launch your career in a high-stakes construction environment, this role offers hands-on experience in building, tower construction, and site supervision.
Role Overview
As a Trainee, you won’t be sitting behind a desk all day. You will be on the ground, working alongside consortium partners like RTCC to ensure construction works align with strict design drawings and quality standards. Your primary focus is to bridge the gap between back-office engineering and the actual site execution, covering everything from new buildings to rapid response stations.
Your daily routine will involve inspecting site works, maintaining Request for Information (RFI) logs, and filing daily progress reports. Since this role involves monitoring infrastructure, you’ll be gaining deep exposure to the KSA Building Code, which is a major resume booster for any engineer looking to build a career in the Middle East.
Key Responsibilities
- Site Supervision: Monitor construction progress for new buildings and towers, ensuring that all work meets the approved design and quality specs.
- Documentation: Handle the RFI process from inception to handover, ensuring every document is tracked and filed correctly.
- Reporting: Compile and submit Daily Progress Reports (DPRs) to the back-office team.
- Testing & Commissioning: Witness site tests and ensure compliance with health and safety protocols at all times.
- Technical Coordination: Distribute updated drawings and changes to all stakeholders to keep the project moving forward without delays.
Eligibility & Requirements
This is an entry-level position perfect for a motivated candidate who is eager to learn and ready to travel.
- Education: A Diploma in Civil Engineering or an equivalent qualification is required.
- Experience: This is an entry-level role; however, a basic understanding of civil construction principles is a must.
- Languages: Fluent English (written and spoken) is essential. Arabic language skills are highly desirable and will be considered a strong plus.
- Technical Skills: You must be computer literate with a solid command of the Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook) and MS Project. Experience with AutoCAD is a major advantage.
- Flexibility: This role requires extensive driving and the ability to relocate anywhere within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
