Job Description

Our partner company is looking for a seasoned Tenders & Contracts Manager to lead its tendering department. You will succeed a manager retiring after more than 30 years with the company, with a structured handover under their guidance.

You will own the full path from job hunting to contract signature: finding opportunities, leading accurate MEP estimates, negotiating with clients and closing contracts. Your work directly drives the companys job awards and the accuracy of its pricing.

Key responsibilities

• Lead, guide and review the work of a team of 5 Mechanical and Electrical Engineers preparing tenders.

• Ensure MEP tenders are priced correctly, with estimates that hold up against actual project costs.

• Identify and pursue new project opportunities (job hunting) across high-rise residential and commercial developments.

• Prepare, review and finalise contracts, including FIDIC-based contracts, and manage contractual risk.

• Lead client discussions and negotiations through to contract award and sign-off.

• Build and maintain long-term relationships with clients, consultants and main contractors.

• Take full ownership of the tendering department within the first 3–6 months, working alongside the outgoing manager during handover.

• Report on tender pipeline, win rate and estimate accuracy to the General Manager.

How success is measured: job awards won, and how closely tender estimates reflect actual project prices.

Requirements

• Bachelors degree in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering (Mechanical preferred).

• Minimum 15 years of experience in MEP construction, with a solid track record in MEP tendering and contracts.

• Strong exposure to high-rise residential and commercial building projects.

• Proven ability to draft and negotiate contracts, with strong working knowledge of FIDIC conditions of contract.

• Experience leading client discussions and negotiations through to contract award.

• Experience leading a team of engineers or estimators.

• Career stability, ideally with at least 4 years at your current or a previous employer.

• Strong client references.

• High integrity and honesty in commercial dealings.

• Fluent Arabic and English, spoken and written.

Nice to have

• Professional certifications relevant to contracts, estimating or project management (for example in FIDIC, quantity surveying or PMP).

• An established network of clients and consultants in the regional building market.
