This is a senior individual contributor "lead" role (player coach mindset): you will establish the methodology, templates, and QA standards. No large team management initially.

What You'll Own (Outcomes)

• Maintain strong audit trails: asset registers, inspection notes, and supporting schedules.

Key Responsibilities

• Conduct site inspections (industrial facilities, warehouses, fleets, specialized equipment) and document condition, specs, utilization, and remaining useful life.

• Write professional deliverables (executive summary, methodology, schedules, reconciliation, and evidence appendices).

Must Have (Screening Criteria)

• 5+ years of proven experience in Fixed Assets / PP&E / Tangible Assets valuation (not inspection-only).
• Demonstrated ability to produce complete valuation reports end to end.
• Strong fundamentals in IVS; practical familiarity with IFRS fair value concepts is a plus.
• Strong exposure to industrial assets (manufacturing lines, utilities, HVAC, generators, cranes, construction equipment, fleets).
• Excellent Arabic & English (reports and client communication).
• Available to work full time on site in Riyadh (with site visits as required).

Strong Advantage

• Big 4 background (valuation, audit fixed assets, transaction advisory, PPA support, impairment support).
• TAQEEM authorization in Machinery & Equipment valuation (preferred, not mandatory).
• Experience in valuations for financial reporting, lending/security, insurance, or transactions.
