We are looking for a Cost Planning Data and Analytics specialist to join the Residential Cost Planning Team at Qiddiya. The role focuses on portfolio-level insight rather than project-by-project reporting. The aim is simple, bring all cost planning data into one place, build clear dashboards, and make information easy to use in decision making and presentations.
This is not a traditional cost planning role. Experience in the built environment is important, but the core focus is data, benchmarking, and translating design metrics into practical outputs that support planning, design, and commercial decisions across the Residential Business Unit.
The right person will be strong in Power BI, Tableau, or similar tools, able to build and maintain dashboards that present the full portfolio in a simple, consistent way, and comfortable working with both technical and non-technical teams.
Key Responsibilities:
-
Develop, cleanse, and maintain benchmarking data, cost databases, and rate libraries so they can be used easily across multiple projects
-
Build and maintain clear, interactive dashboards and reporting tools in Power BI, Tableau, or similar
-
Present portfolio-level insights that help the RBU make quick, informed decisions
-
Work with teams across the RBU to interpret design metrics, development data, and commercial inputs
-
Provide regular cost and market insight reports that support planning and governance
-
Support governance activities by preparing cost plan data, papers, and action tracking
Requirements
-
Degree in Data Science, Engineering, Construction, Architecture, or a related field
-
Experience in data analytics or reporting within construction, infrastructure, or real estate
-
Strong capability in Power BI, Tableau, or similar visualisation platforms
-
Ability to interpret and apply design metrics and development data in a construction context
-
Experience in large-scale development or master planning environments is an advantage
-
Strong communication skills, good attention to detail, and a collaborative way of working
