Why this role matters
Construction Management Associates advises owners, contractors, lenders and governments on construction and PPP projects across the Middle East. Our work spans construction management, asset condition assessments, lenders’ technical advisory, PPP, contracts and claims, and every assignment moves through three phases: the inquiry, the proposal, and the delivery of the work itself. We are hiring a Project Coordinator to work across all three phases. You will coordinate our projects and do real work on them, from contract review and specifications to research, analysis, engineering and reporting.

Prepare clarification registers, compliance matrices and the technical sections of our bids and proposals.
Take off quantities and check bills of quantities to support pricing.
Research projects, clients, markets and potential partners, and summarise the findings for decision-makers.
Attend pre-bid site visits and record site conditions that affect cost, programme or risk.

Engineering review
Review drawings, specifications and bills of quantities, and check designs and design changes for constructability, cost and programme impact.
Take off and check quantities, and verify contractors’ payment applications by measurement.
Review method statements and construction sequences against the drawings, the specifications and site conditions.

Programme and progress
Monitor progress against the programme, and report delays and their causes.
Attend progress and design meetings, and issue the minutes and the record of decisions within one working day.
Keep a written log of requests, responses, site instructions and decisions.

Contracts and claims support
Build the technical record behind our contracts and claims work, including correspondence chronologies, variation assessments and delay event records.
Give our delay and quantum team the site facts and as-built records they need.

Site visits
Visit project sites for inspections, condition assessments, progress checks and meetings.
Record what you see with photographs and clear notes, and close every gap while you are still on site.

Reports
Prepare inspection reports, progress reports and the technical sections of our deliverables in CMA’s format.
Reconcile every number that appears in more than one document before it goes out.

AI in your daily work
Use AI tools such as Claude to read and summarise tender documents, drawings, specifications, contracts and correspondence, and to draft bids, reports, letters and technical notes.
Use AI to speed up project and market research, and verify every source before you rely on it.
Check every AI output against the drawings, the contract and what you have seen on site, and sign off only what you have verified.
Build simple AI workflows that make our engineering work faster and more accurate, such as clarification registers, quantity checks, document registers and progress reports.
Share what works with the team and help colleagues adopt it.

Who we are looking for
You hold a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering.
You have around 3 years of experience, including real time on construction sites in supervision, execution or inspection.
Experience in tendering or bid preparation is a plus.
