The Engineering Manager is also responsible for maintaining the technical integrity of the programme, ensuring that engineering outputs are of high quality, and that they support a smooth transition into construction, testing, and commissioning phases. This role is central to ensuring that client expectations are met in terms of safety, performance, maintainability, and long-term operational value.

Familiar with Saudi regulations and international standards.

Strong communication and stakeholder coordination skills.
