• Executive-level stakeholder management, including engagement with government entities, developers, and international consultants.
• Demonstrated ability to build, mentor, and lead large cross-functional teams across both technical and commercial disciplines.
• Fluency in Arabic is a significant advantage for navigating the local market and client relationships.

• Own full P&L accountability — driving revenue growth, margin optimisation, and cost discipline across all projects.
• Oversee bidding, tendering, and contract negotiations for mega-scale and high-complexity projects.
• Govern project delivery standards, quality benchmarks, HSE compliance, and client satisfaction across the business.
• Build and maintain executive relationships with key clients, joint venture partners, and regulatory authorities in KSA and across the GCC.
