Construction Manager

WHAT YOU’LL DO — CORE MANDATE

• — Manage the full site organisation — foremen, site engineers, labour, and subcontractors — and drive daily and weekly production against the baseline programme
• — Own execution before site as well as on it: constructability reviews, resource and plant planning, and readiness of every workfront
• — Align with the PM and design team on design deliverability — flag what cannot be built as drawn before it costs money on site
• — Face the consultant: attend and drive meetings with consultant engineers, close comments, and manage inspections and approvals
• — Push back on NCRs with technical evidence; resolve open items and close out punch lists without prompting
• — Manage mobilisation and demobilisation — site setup, facilities, permits, plant, and orderly exit and handover
• — Own site safety end to end: enforce HSE standards, toolbox talks, and incident-free delivery
• — Propose and manage execution methodologies — method statements, sequencing alternatives, and faster or cheaper ways to build without eroding quality
• — Draft and submit project execution documents for tenders: method statements, preliminary programmes, resource and site logistics plans
• — Maintain site records that stand up in a dispute: progress reports, photos, delay events, and meeting minutes

• — Produce and maintain CPM-based site programmes with rolling three-week lookaheads tied to procurement and subcontractor commitments
• — Run formal QA/QC: inspection and test plans (ITPs), material approvals, submittals, shop drawings, and RFI management with full traceability
• — Implement HSE management to OSHA/NEBOSH and Saudi regulatory standards: risk assessments, permits to work, and incident investigation
• — Coordinate subcontractor interfaces through structured progress meetings, two-week programmes, and documented commitments
• — Maintain daily site diaries, manpower and plant returns, and as-built records throughout execution
• — Manage testing, commissioning, and handover documentation to consultant and client acceptance
• — Control the cost of quality: rework tracking, defect prevention, and a first-time-right site culture

• — 8+ years in site construction management; fit-out, heritage, or remote-site experience a strong plus
• — Track record running multi-building or multi-zone sites with lean supervision structures, facing consultants and client engineers directly
• — Strong method-statement and constructability capability; able to propose and defend alternative execution methodologies
• — Fluent in reading drawings, specifications, and BOQs; able to challenge subcontractor and consultant positions technically
• — Civil or architectural engineering background; NEBOSH/OSHA certification preferred
• — Valid Saudi driving licence and readiness for remote-site rotation
• — Arabic essential for site workforce management; working English required for consultant and documentation work
