The posting

Job Title: Fully responsible for client and project management — from award through closeout — for a portfolio of concurrent projects in AlUla (SAR 20–60M+ each) for government and giga-project clients, with a compact team but direct executive authority.

Core Responsibilities

  • Full delivery ownership: programme, cost, quality, HSE, and contractual compliance across the project portfolio
  • Horizontal coordination with all functions (commercial, procurement, finance, factory, design) to remove obstacles
  • Build PMO standards, tools, and governance, and transfer this knowledge into the company with direct executive backing from the CEO
  • Power BI reporting for full portfolio visibility, operating fully within Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central for budgets, billing, and cost control
  • Hands-on field presence, reinforcing delivery teams when needed
  • Cost reduction through value engineering, package restructuring, and subcontractor negotiation without compromising quality
  • Technical and contractual responses to Non-Conformance Reports (NCRs) and client correspondence to protect the company's position
  • Identifying and substantiating commercial entitlements (variations and claims) with strong documentation
  • Growing repeat business with government clients and giga-project owners
  • Managing project cash flow: forward projections, invoice certification follow-up, and collection with the client's finance departments

Standard Professional Responsibilities

  • Integrated project management per PMI/PMBOK methodology (scope, schedule, cost, quality, resources, communications, risk, procurement, stakeholders)
  • Baseline schedules (Primavera P6 or equivalent) with earned value, progress measurement, and critical path management
  • Structured risk management: live risk registers and mitigation plans
  • Disciplined contract administration: notices, records, and compliance with contractual time-bars
  • Monthly project reviews with KPI dashboards, escalating deviations early with recovery plans
  • Team development: performance evaluation, training, and succession planning
  • Proper project closeout: lessons learned, final accounts, warranties, and documented handover
  • Managing interfaces with government authorities, service providers, and local permits

Requirements

What You Bring

  • 10+ years of experience in construction/fit-out project management, with at least 5 years in Saudi Arabia; giga-project or government client experience strongly preferred
  • Proven track record of delivering a multi-project (portfolio) of concurrent projects under lump-sum contracts, with tight variation and claims management
  • Strong contractual literacy (FIDIC or bespoke government forms); confident in drafting formal correspondence and NCR responses
  • Working command of Power BI and ERP-based project controls (Microsoft Dynamics 365 / Business Central or similar)
  • Experience in PMO setup or transformation; engineering or architecture degree; PMP or equivalent preferred
  • Willingness to be based in AlUla for extended periods, with regular coordination in Riyadh
  • Bilingual Arabic/English (written and spoken) — strongly preferred

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
