Title: QA-QC Site Inspector (MEP)

Company: Norconsult Telematics

Location: Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

Position Objective:

The Site Inspector (MEP) carries out day-to-day quality inspection of mechanical, electrical and plumbing works at the off-site factory and on site. The role checks the Contractor’s completed installations against the approved drawings, specifications and inspection and test plans, and witnesses the agreed hold, witness, testing and commissioning points before the works proceed.

Job Description & Responsibilities:

Key responsibilities of the QA-QC Site Inspector (MEP) on the modular building construction supervision team:

• Inspect mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) installations each day against approved drawings, technical specifications and the agreed inspection and test plan (ITP), recording results clearly and on time.
• Carry out inspections in-factory on the off-site modules and on site, covering HVAC, ducting, pipework, plumbing, drainage, firefighting, low and medium voltage electrical, containment, cabling and earthing.
• Check that the Contractor’s method statements (MS) and inspection and test plans (ITP) are approved and in place before inspecting the related activity.
• Run an inspection-readiness check before any hold point is opened, confirming the prerequisites, prior inspections and approved materials are all in place.
• Witness and clear the Contractor’s material inspection requests (MIR) and work inspection requests (WIR) at each hold and witness point, accepting compliant work or returning it for rectification, and stop any work being covered up before it is inspected.
• Witness MEP testing and commissioning, including pressure and leak tests, duct testing, flushing and chlorination, insulation-resistance and continuity tests, and functional and performance tests.
• Witness the MEP scope of the Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) before each module ships and the Site Acceptance Test (SAT) once it is installed, and confirm inter-module MEP connections on site.
• Verify the calibration certificates of test and measuring equipment before that equipment is relied on for acceptance.
• Inspect materials and equipment on delivery against approved material approval requests (MAR), and check storage and protection.
• Raise, log and track Inspection Requests and Non-Conformance Reports (NCRs), keep the punch and snag lists, and carry out first-check verification of installed and progress quantities to support payment, distinct from the Quantity Surveyor’s approval.

Qualifications & Experience:

• Diploma or bachelor’s degree in mechanical, electrical or a related technical discipline.
• Minimum 8 years in mechanical, electrical and plumbing QA/QC inspection on building or infrastructure works.
• ISO 9001 Internal Auditor is required; ISO 9001 Lead Auditor is preferred, with practical command of inspection and test plans, hold and witness points and Non-Conformance Report management.
• Sound command of MEP testing and commissioning, including pressure testing, electrical testing and functional checks, and the related acceptance records.
• Working awareness of applicable mechanical and electrical standards and the Saudi Building Code (SBC), including HVAC, firefighting and electrical installation requirements.
• Experience on modular, prefabricated or precast construction or Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA) programs is an advantage, and a manufacturing or fabrication-shop QA-QC background counts toward it.
• Fluent with mainstream project and supervision systems (for example Primavera P6, Aconex and AutoCAD), and quick to adopt the Consultant’s in-house systems.
• Saudi or Gulf (GCC) construction-supervision experience is highly preferred.
• Good written and spoken English for inspection records and reporting; Arabic is an advantage.
• Open to international and Saudi candidates, who must be legally eligible to work in Saudi Arabia. The role is based across multiple cities in the Kingdom, and some travel may be required.
