* Ensure site works comply with Dubai Municipality, RTA, DEWA, and other local authority standards and regulations.
* Monitor material quantities and usage to reduce wastage, misuse, over-ordering, or deviation from approved specifications.
* Assist during RTA inspections and audits by providing site support, test evidence, inspection records, and material documentation.
* Report daily site activities, testing status, material inspections, approvals, rejected materials, and open quality issues to the Material Engineer or Resident Engineer.
* Maintain complete records of material test results, inspection outcomes, executed works, approvals, and supporting files for project closeout and handover.
