Construction Manager

About This Role

This Construction Manager role focuses on providing zone-level oversight and assurance within a PMO environment. The manager ensures effective integration and performance of contractors and PMCMs across multiple concurrent work fronts. The role suits a candidate with strong technical expertise in civil infrastructure, construction logistics, and large-scale site operations, who can ensure program compliance, quality standards, and delivery objectives are achieved.

Responsibilities

• Monitor and control day-to-day construction performance across assigned zones/packages, ensuring alignment with program, quality, and safety requirements
• Act as the primary interface between contractors, PMCMs, and PMO, ensuring seamless coordination of works and issue resolution
• Lead site-based integration of civils, infrastructure, and hard/soft landscaping works, managing complex interfaces across concurrent work fronts
• Review and challenge contractor methods, phasing plans, and logistics strategies to ensure feasibility and alignment with program constraints
• Monitor and report on progress, delays, and productivity, ensuring timely escalation of risks and underperformance
• Track and manage non-conformances, technical queries (RFIs), and site issues, ensuring closure and alignment with design intent
• Support implementation of program-wide construction reporting systems and data capture (PMIS / dashboards)
• Coordinate access, logistics, and site planning across multiple contractors, particularly in congested, high-activity zones
• Ensure contractor compliance with QA/QC, HSE, and environmental requirements, focusing on systems and verification rather than execution
• Provide input to look-ahead planning, short-term sequencing, and recovery plans across multiple work fronts
• Support design coordination and constructability reviews, ensuring buildability and alignment with site conditions
• Maintain strong visibility on interface risks (utilities, infrastructure tie-ins, landscape integration) and proactively drive resolution
• Assist in contractor performance evaluations and reporting, contributing to objective performance management

Requirements

• Degree in Civil Engineering, Construction Management, or related field
• 20+ years of construction management experience
• Extensive experience on major urban development, infrastructure, public realm, or landscape-led projects
• Strong technical knowledge of roads, utilities, drainage, earthworks, and infrastructure systems
• Proven experience working within PMO, client-side, delivery partner, or PMCM environments
• Experience managing large-scale construction logistics and workforce operations
• Experience in high-profile, fast-track project environments

Nice to have:

• Experience working in the Middle East (preferably KSA) or similar regulatory and climatic conditions
