Project Engineer — Authority Approvals

Take ownership of authority approvals across our construction and interior fit-out projects — the driving force behind every permit, NOC and regulatory clearance from design to handover.

Authority Approvals Full-Time Dubai, UAE 2+ Years Experience

Role Overview

Building Approvals Dubai is expanding its project delivery team and is looking for an experienced Project Engineer to take ownership of authority approvals across our construction and interior fit-out projects. This is a hands-on, high-visibility role — you'll be the driving force behind every permit, NOC and regulatory clearance that keeps our projects moving from design to handover. If you know your way around Dubai's authority portals and enjoy solving the puzzle of getting complex submissions approved fast, this role is built for you.

Key Responsibilities

  • Act as the primary point of contact with DM, DCD, Trakhees, DEWA, DDA and other regulatory bodies across all active projects.
  • Prepare, review and submit architectural and engineering drawings, NOC applications and permit documentation through authority portals.
  • Check every submission against current codes, standards and authority-specific requirements before it goes out the door.
  • Track submission status in detail — approvals, rejections, resubmissions — and keep tracker logs accurate at all times.
  • Work closely with consultants, contractors, clients and internal design teams to resolve authority review comments quickly and correctly.
  • Flag potential compliance issues early in the design phase to avoid costly delays down the line.
  • Confirm all necessary permits, NOCs and approvals are secured before any construction activity begins on site.
  • Support project close-out: final inspections, as-built documentation and completion certificate procurement.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering or Architecture.
  • Minimum 2 years' experience in authority coordination within UAE construction, fit-out or engineering consultancy.
  • Solid, practical knowledge of UAE authority approval procedures, codes and statutory requirements.
  • Hands-on experience navigating DM, DCD, Trakhees, DEWA, DDA and similar online submission portals.
  • Strong ability to read and interpret engineering and architectural drawings.
  • A sharp eye for documentation detail and a talent for staying organized across multiple live submissions.
  • Confident communicator who can manage stakeholders across authorities, consultants and clients.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office; working knowledge of AutoCAD is a strong advantage.
