We are seeking a skilled Tunnel Inspector to assess the condition, safety, and performance of tunnel structures and associated infrastructure. The successful candidate will carry out planned and reactive inspections of tunnels, shafts, portals, ventilation areas, drainage systems, access routes, electrical installations, fire protection equipment, and other related assets. You will identify defects, deterioration, hazards, and maintenance requirements, ensuring that findings are accurately recorded and escalated where necessary.

Key responsibilities include completing visual and detailed inspections in accordance with established procedures, engineering standards, and health and safety requirements. You will use inspection equipment and digital reporting systems to document observations, take measurements, capture photographs, and produce clear technical reports. The role involves working in confined, underground, poorly lit, and potentially high-risk environments, including areas subject to traffic, plant movement, water ingress, dust, noise, and restricted access. You will support emergency inspections, investigate reported defects, monitor remedial works, and liaise with maintenance and engineering teams to help prioritise repairs.

Applicants should have relevant experience in tunnel inspection, civil engineering, structural maintenance, infrastructure examination, or a comparable technical environment. A sound understanding of concrete, steel, masonry, waterproofing, drainage, and structural defects is essential, together with the ability to interpret drawings, inspection records, and technical specifications. You must be physically capable of working underground and at height where required, and be willing to work shifts, nights, weekends, or respond to urgent call-outs. Strong attention to detail, sound judgement, accurate report writing, and effective communication are important. Relevant technical qualifications, safety training, confined-space certification, or experience with inspection management systems would be advantageous. A commitment to safe working practices and the ability to work independently or as part of a multidisciplinary team are essential.

We are seeking a Saudi National Civil Inspector – Tunnel to support the delivery of major underground infrastructure and tunnelling works. The successful candidate will monitor construction activities to ensure compliance with approved drawings, technical specifications, method statements, inspection and test plans, and applicable local and international standards. This role will involve working across tunnel construction sites, coordinating with contractors and supervision teams, and maintaining a strong focus on quality, safety, and environmental requirements.

Key responsibilities include inspecting civil and structural works such as tunnel linings, portals, shafts, cross passages, invert slabs, drainage systems, waterproofing, concrete placement, reinforcement, formwork, grouting, backfilling, and associated temporary works. You will review material approvals, verify setting-out and dimensions, witness testing, record site observations, and ensure that non-conforming work is identified, documented, and rectified. The role also requires reviewing inspection requests, maintaining daily reports and quality records, monitoring progress against approved programmes, and supporting the resolution of technical issues. Regular coordination with engineers, surveyors, safety personnel, subcontractors, and client representatives will be required.

Applicants should hold a diploma or degree in Civil Engineering, Construction, or a related discipline, with relevant experience in tunnel construction, underground works, or major infrastructure projects. Practical knowledge of concrete, reinforcement, waterproofing, ground support systems, excavation methods, and quality control procedures is essential. Candidates should be able to interpret engineering drawings and specifications, use inspection and reporting systems, and communicate effectively with project stakeholders. Familiarity with tunnelling standards, health and safety requirements, and quality management systems will be advantageous. The successful candidate must be organised, detail-oriented, physically able to work in active site environments, and committed to maintaining high professional standards. This opportunity is open to Saudi Nationals who can demonstrate the required technical experience and a proactive approach to site inspection and construction quality.

We are seeking a Senior SEM Inspector (Tunnel Supervisor) to oversee the safe, efficient and compliant delivery of tunnel excavation and construction activities using the Sequential Excavation Method (SEM). The successful candidate will provide strong site leadership, coordinate inspection and supervision activities, and ensure that works are completed in accordance with approved designs, method statements, quality requirements and project programmes.

Key responsibilities will include supervising tunnel excavation, support installation, shotcrete application, rock bolting, steel ribs, lattice girders, waterproofing and associated temporary works. You will monitor ground conditions, identify changing geological or structural behaviour, and ensure that excavation sequences and support measures are adjusted in consultation with the engineering team. The role will involve reviewing drawings and technical documentation, inspecting workmanship and materials, maintaining accurate daily records, and reporting progress, defects, risks and non-conformances. You will also coordinate with contractors, engineers, surveyors and specialist teams to resolve technical issues and maintain safe and productive operations.

Applicants should have substantial experience in tunnel construction and inspection, with proven knowledge of SEM or comparable underground excavation methods. A strong understanding of tunnel support systems, excavation cycles, ground investigation information, temporary works, construction quality control and health and safety procedures is essential. Relevant civil engineering, mining engineering, construction or tunnelling qualifications are preferred, together with suitable professional certifications or site inspection experience. You must be confident working in active underground environments, capable of interpreting technical information, and able to make sound decisions under changing site conditions. Excellent communication, leadership, organisational and reporting skills are required, along with a proactive approach to safety, quality and team collaboration. The position may involve shift work, extended site hours and working in confined or challenging conditions.
