## Description

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
