Site Engineer — Makkah Constructions · 2022–2024
36 Residential
Towers
A major high-density residential development — 36 towers across a single site. Progressed from responsibility for 8 buildings to full authority over all 36, including periods of sole site authority during PM absence.

Challenge
The situation on site
Joined the project during the finishing phase — after blockwork
was complete — to supervise structural and finishing works across
a social housing development at scale. Started with responsibility
for 8 buildings, then 12, then 18, then all 36. During periods
when the project manager was on leave, full sole site authority
for the entire 36-tower site was held — with only phone follow-up
from the PM. The challenge at this scale is consistency: keeping
quality, inspection readiness and subcontractor discipline uniform
across dozens of simultaneous fronts, without losing control of
any individual building.
Role & Actions
What I specifically did
01
Progressed from supervising 8 buildings to full
responsibility for all 36 towers — demonstrating the ability
to scale oversight and maintain consistent quality standards
as scope grew.
02
Held sole site authority during PM absence — full site
responsibility across 36 towers, covering all trades,
inspections, subcontractor management and daily
decision-making.
03
Supervised structural and finishing activities across towers
— columns, slabs, blockwork and plaster — ensuring all
execution followed approved drawings and specifications.
04
Followed up on WIRs and MIRs to ensure timely inspection of
works and materials — coordinating with the consultant on
approvals and technical clarifications for site issues.
05
Monitored site progress against the overall plan —
highlighting delays, sequencing constraints and resource gaps
to the project engineer and maintaining momentum across
multiple fronts.
06
Supervised subcontractors daily across all active buildings —
resolving technical issues directly on site and maintaining
safety and housekeeping standards across active work
zones.
07
Prepared daily and weekly site reports summarising progress,
manpower levels and key issues across all towers — maintaining
clear documentation discipline throughout the project.
08
Supported punch-list and snagging activities — following up
on rectification across apartments and common areas prior to
handover stages for each completed building.
