تفاصيل الوظيفة
Petroplan is recruiting for the position of Assistant Resident Engineer (ARE) on behalf of a Global Engineering Consultancy for a maritime civil construction project in Oman.
The scope of the project entails the repair and reconstruction of the present marine infrastructure of a large desalination plant.
The position will become available in May 2024, and has an 18-month program.
Assistant Resident Engineer (ARE)
A full-time position that supports the Resident Engineer (RE) and closely follows the project progress on site.

Should the locations where activities are taking place concurrently be reduced, a part time role for the ARE could be considered. The ARE would also stand in on site during the RE's rotation and then assume the RE's responsibilities. This would, as far as possible, be planned during time periods when non-critical construction aspects take place. The ARE will also support the RE in terms of site related Contract Administrative aspects.
