Material Engineer

The Material Engineer serves as the technical backbone of the Material Management
department. The primary purpose of this role is to bridge the gap between technical
specifications (engineering/contracts) and execution (procurement/sites). The job holder is
responsible for resolving technical discrepancies, accelerating consultant approvals
(submittals), sourcing smart alternatives, and eliminating material-related delays across all
active projects.
3. Core Responsibilities & Duties
 Technical Review & Conflict Resolution (BOQ vs. Reality):
Thoroughly review material specifications in contract documents and Bills of Quantities
(BOQ). Compare them with actual site requests to ensure absolute technical alignment and
proactively flag any discrepancies, vagueness, or technical conflicts early on.
 Consultant Submittals & Approvals Management:
Drive the end-to-end material submittal process. Prepare technical catalogs, compliance
sheets, and physical samples. Rigorously follow up with the Technical Office and Consultants
to secure “Approved” status without hindering project timelines.
 Smart Technical Sourcing & Alternatives:
Conduct market research to find alternative materials for rare, high-cost, or unusual project
requests. Present cost-effective, fully compliant, and technically sound alternative proposals
to the Material Manager and Technical Office.

 Cross-Functional Coordination (The Interface Hub):
Act as the daily technical liaison to resolve issues smoothly between multiple stakeholders,
including Site Teams, Project Management, Procurement, Technical Office, and Contracts
Departments.
 Subcontractor & Composite Items Management (“Supply & Install”):
Closely monitor and break down complex “Supply and Install” contracts. Define the exact
scope of materials, accessories, and consumables between the company and subcontractors
before execution to avoid any gaps or hidden costs.
