So i am working as a junior quality engineer, and my quality manager quit a week guy, really great, taught me a lot of things, great boss, strict but fair.

So its a contruction project and now our team is 2 senior engineers and me ,

This one dude doesnt really work a lot, just warms his seat up, never goes to site, doesnt do any work, The project manager told him to take more responsibiltity until the new manager joins in 2 weeks basically take over some of the managers work load, but it just me and the other engineer who split it and this dude decides to start micro managing me asking for logs of every work i do every 20 mins to show it to the PM and he doesnt understand the logs and me explaining it to him is like talking to a rock.

He doesnt know shit nor does he do anything.

I tried talking to the PM about this, but he shook me off saying learn to work in a team.

I could barely do my own tasks and i guess i didnt do anything today coz he kept disturbing me and not letting me work. He has taken over the managers office and has started to introduce himself as a manager to subcontracters, even though he isnt.

This has been happening for 2 days and i already want to beat his ass.

What can i do? Do i just file a complaint? Or just scold him? I dont want to lose my job coz i am a fresher, its my first job its been 6 months and office politics is too much for me and it is a really good firm.

I'm a civil engineer working on a large project like 1400 villas in the UAE in the QA/QC department.

My job has become almost entirely documentation and WIR management. I'm raising around 50 WIRs a day, maintaining all QA/QC logs, tracking and closing NCRs and SORs, updating test records, handling revisions and trying to clear a huge backlog of reports like we have around 1500 wir rejections all from a time long before i joined. I barely had any experience before this job and I get paid like 2.5k AED.

Recently our QA/QC manager quit and the department is basically down to one site QA engineer and me handling the documentation side for the entire project.

The frustrating part is that I never get to go to site, I don't get involved in inspections, I don't get to work on material submissions, and I don't get exposure to the technical side of the job that I actually became an engineer for.

I know these activities are important and someone has to do them, but I'm genuinely worried that I'm becoming a glorified document controller with an engineering degree.

People around me keep telling me I'm overqualified for the role, and honestly it feels like the more competent I am at handling the documentation workload, the more documentation gets dumped on me.

I feel like i am not being given anything nor is anyone putting any effory to hire a replacement for a qaqc manager either.

I took this job coz i needed money and experience. I have a masters degree as well.

I have even gone to the project director directly and told, put me on site work but noone cared and i feel like i wanna sabotage my work but i cannot because i need the job. I feel like i am burning my career for some temporary warmth.

The manager at the consultancy i am working along told me i should be doing something useful instead and told me to get a iso lead auditor certificate and learn material submissions and then come ask him for a job and he will hire me, but i am having trouble even knowing if he was playing me or not. Or if he just wants work that i am submitting to him to be done properly and on time by showing me that there is a reward for it.

What can i do to get out of this? Quit?
