Fit-Out Technical Coordinator

Job Summary:

The Fit-Out Technical Coordinator acts as a crucial link between the design team, technical detailing, project management, and on-site construction teams. Based in Sharjah, UAE, this role is responsible for ensuring the technical accuracy, buildability, and seamless coordination of all design information for fit-out projects. The Technical Coordinator facilitates communication, resolves technical queries, manages information flow, and ensures that all documentation aligns with project requirements, local regulations, and construction progress.

Key Responsibilities:

Technical Information Management & Control:

Manage and control all technical documentation, including drawings (architectural, structural, MEP, specialist systems), specifications, schedules, and reports, ensuring the latest revisions are distributed and utilized. Establish and maintain a robust document control system for technical information, ensuring accessibility and version control. Review and cross-reference technical drawings from various disciplines to identify discrepancies, clashes, and coordination issues. Ensure all technical information is distributed to relevant stakeholders (site teams, subcontractors, suppliers) in a timely manner.

Coordination & Clash Detection:

Facilitate and attend technical coordination meetings with design consultants, engineers (MEP, structural, civil), architects, detailers, and specialist vendors. Proactively identify and highlight potential technical clashes or design discrepancies between different design packages (e.g., architectural vs. MEP, joinery vs. structural elements). Work with relevant teams to propose and implement effective solutions to resolve technical conflicts before or during construction.

Technical Support & Problem Solving:

Act as the primary point of contact for technical queries from the site team, subcontractors, and suppliers. Provide clear and concise technical guidance and solutions to on-site challenges, escalating complex issues to the Technical Manager or design team as required. Review and comment on technical submittals, shop drawings, and material samples submitted by subcontractors, ensuring compliance with design intent and specifications. Assist in the resolution of Requests for Information (RFIs).

Compliance & Standards Adherence:

Ensure all technical documentation and site practices comply with relevant local UAE building codes, Civil Defense regulations (e.g., UAE Fire and Life Safety Code), environmental standards (e.g., Estidama, LEED as applicable), and industry best practices. Verify that all changes and resolutions are documented and formally approved by the relevant authorities or consultants.

Progress Monitoring & Reporting:

Monitor the progress of technical information delivery and identify potential delays or bottlenecks. Prepare regular technical coordination reports for project management, highlighting key issues, resolutions, and upcoming technical requirements. Assist in the preparation of as-built drawings and documentation.

Qualifications:

Education:

Bachelor's degree in Architecture, Civil Engineering, Architectural Technology, Construction Management, or a related field.

Experience:

Minimum of 5 years of proven experience in a technical coordination, design coordination, or technical management role within the fit-out, interior, or building construction industry in the UAE.

Technical Skills:

Strong proficiency in AutoCAD for viewing and understanding technical drawings. Familiarity with Revit or other BIM software for coordination purposes is highly advantageous. Good understanding of construction processes, sequencing, and fit-out methodologies. Basic knowledge of various fit-out materials, finishes, and building systems (e.g., MEP, fire safety). Awareness of local UAE building codes, Civil Defense requirements, and relevant international standards. Proficient in MS Office Suite (Word, Excel, Outlook).

Soft Skills:

Exceptional organizational and document management skills. Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to clearly articulate technical information to diverse audiences. Excellent problem-solving abilities and a methodical approach to resolving complex technical issues. Proactive, detail-oriented, and able to work effectively under pressure.
