About Us

Egis Advisory Service Line is at the forefront of managing large-scale developments for some of the most prestigious clients in the region, including giga projects, municipalities, and other significant urban and real estate ventures.

The position will play a key role in driving these visionary projects forward, focusing on the strategic and technical aspects that lay the foundation for successful developments.

About the Role

• Own the Project Charter and Project Execution Plan for the full term of the engagement.
• Build and protect the baseline schedule, carrying client dependencies on it alongside Egis activities, and re-baseline only through change control.
• Plan field campaigns and secure site access, permits and escorts ahead of each mobilization.
• Constitute and run the governance forums, from steering committee to weekly workstream sessions, and drive decisions and actions to closure.
• Apply the delegated authority and escalation matrices so decisions are taken at the right level, each escalation carrying options and a recommendation.
• Control the deliverable lifecycle through draft, validation workshop, client comments, response and approval, with internal peer review before every submission.
• Manage stage gates on conditions met rather than actions promised, recording exceptions with an owner and closure date.
• Operate change control end to end and maintain the change log with cumulative impact stated.
• Own the risk and issue register and the information request register, reporting movement and escalating overdue items.
• Maintain document control, the EDMS and a programme dashboard tracking deliverables, approvals and response times.
• Issue monthly reporting on schedule variance, deliverable status, risk movement and decisions required from the client.
• Manage subconsultant performance against flowed down schedules and acceptance criteria.
• Apply ISO 9001 controls to templates, reviews and document issue.

What do we need from you

• Bachelor degree in Engineering. Civil, mechanical or electrical preferred.
• Minimum 8 years in project or programme management, with at least 3 years delivering in Saudi Arabia.
• PMP or equivalent.
• Delivery record on multi site consultancy assignments with heavy field mobilization and subconsultant teams.
• Demonstrated ownership of a project execution plan, change control process and stage gate regime.
• Working knowledge of ISO 9001. Familiarity with ISO 22301 and ISO 31000 is an advantage.
• Familiarity with quantitative schedule risk analysis and Monte Carlo based contingency setting is an advantage.
• Strong stakeholder management with public sector and sovereign clients.
