Commercial Director - Major Programmes

A leadership appointment on the employer's infrastructure team in Riyadh, set out in the posting as strategic direction of major programmes with the weight on post-contract delivery. The holder acts as principal point of contact for cost management and leads the employer's team on the commission, taking account leadership roles, project execution assurance and client relationships.

The posting names a defined assurance workload: peer review, gateway review, maturity assessment, readiness review, and progress and performance audit. It asks for a cost management generalist across estimating, cost, scheduling, risk, change, performance measurement and reporting, with a record in technical delivery of major programmes rather than single projects. International and cross-sector work in multi-cultural environments is described as beneficial.

The employer states that the holder will periodically take on major programme delivery roles directly and bring a commission to what it calls a successful steady state. Requirements stated are a minimum of twenty years of relevant experience, a degree in quantity surveying or a related field, and MRICS, with FRICS described as an advantage.

The posting also asks for the ability to present to large groups and senior client audiences.
