Deputy Civil

Job description

What this job involves:

Sitting on top of all design projects

You’ll manage and lead design activities and make sure that everything is on track within the appropriate budget. To ensure high-quality work, you’ll need to collect clients’ requirements and fully understand them. You’ll then build proper design management procedures that match the clients’ every want and need, and closely work together with the design team to stave off any gaps or mix-ups. You’ll plan and drive report meetings with clients and relevant government authorities. Part of your job scope is to drive and manage value engineering—from beginning to end. You’ll make sure that you coordinate with designers to string the design program along with the procurement. In this role, answering questions such as, “Which specific hold points need specific client decisions during design development?”; “How can I better manage and keep track of design changes?” and “What can I do to ensure smooth handover?” will help you develop and implement a sound game plan.

Pushing things in the right direction

In this role, you’ll need to be able to face tough design challenges head on. You’ll need to work out a practical design and match master schedules that work. You will keep an eye on the design team’s performance and make sure that they’re up to speed toward successful project completion. On top of these, you’ll be responsible for spotting delay risks and warning the project manager in advance, so you both can find a way to set things in order.

Sound like you? To apply you need to be:

An active practitioner

You have a degree in architectural, civil engineering, MEP engineering, or related discipline or field, or a mix of formal education and work experience of more than 10 years spent on design, construction or project management. You should also be well-versed in design management.

A business expert with administrative skills

You should know how to win new clients in both international and domestic markets. Having a know-how of design contracts, commercial negotiations, market analyses and marketing processes will also be crucial to this role. To up your game as a design manager, you’ll need a strong technical background and expertise in MS Project, MS Excel, MS Word and/or other scheduling software. Familiarity with AutoCAD gives you the competitive edge. 

A confidence builder

Are you a leader who knows how to inspire your team members? You should also be a well-balanced professional who nurtures and develops his/her relationships with clients and consultants. As an excellent communicator, it should be easy for you to create an environment where everyone is welcome and where everyone feels enthusiastic to go ahead with a task and successfully complete it.
