• Relevant professional membership or chartership would be advantageous.
• Significant construction management experience on major, complex projects.

• Strong site leadership and practical construction knowledge.
• Comfortable working independently and making sound decisions during night operations.
• Able to challenge contractors appropriately and maintain high standards.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills in English.
• Experience working within Saudi Arabia or the wider Middle East would be advantageous.
