Senior Manager - District Integration

Overview

Senior Manager – District Integration in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, leads the physical and functional integration of a GoA4 driverless rail system within major developer-led districts. The role coordinates stations, viaducts, tunnels, traction substations, ventilation shafts, emergency access, public-realm interfaces, and rail system requirements while ensuring safety, operations, customer experience, and masterplan objectives.

• Lead spatial integration and layout coordination for fixed rail infrastructure including tunnels, elevated viaducts, stations, auxiliary buildings, ventilation shafts, emergency exits, and traction power substations.
• Ensure rail infrastructure fits within tightly constrained developer districts while maintaining operational safety, system performance, maintainability, and masterplan alignment.
• Define, manage, and protect rail rights-of-way, structural zones, operational boundaries, access corridors, and maintenance easements.
• Prevent encroachment from adjacent real estate, utilities, roads, landscaping, public-realm assets, and developer-controlled works.
• Coordinate placement and design of wayside infrastructure such as ventilation shafts, escape stairs, traction substations, service access points, and emergency intervention routes.
• Lead BIM and federated model coordination across civil works, structures, MEP, rail systems, architecture, utilities, roads, landscape, and developer assets.
• Identify spatial clashes early through model reviews and drive practical resolution between rail components, buildings, utilities, public-realm, and district infrastructure.
• Act as the lead technical mediator for interface conflicts involving rail alignment, structures, developer plots, deep utilities, access zones, roads, landscape features, and public-realm elements.
• Establish, maintain, and update interface control documents, boundary matrices, access schedules, ownership records, interface registers, and construction sequencing records.
• Coordinate cross-asset alignment between stations, tunnels, viaducts, ancillary structures, utility networks, district developments, and transport interfaces.
• Ensure Fire Life Safety requirements are embedded into integrated district designs from early planning through detailed design and construction coordination.
• Protect emergency egress routes, smoke-management paths, fire intervention access, evacuation routes, and civil defense requirements where rail assets interface with private or developer-controlled property.
• Ensure Operations and Maintenance needs are fully considered, including safe 24-hour access, heavy equipment routes, replacement component paths, maintenance clearances, and long-term asset access.
• Coordinate customer-experience interfaces between public-realm, station entrances, pedestrian routes, accessible paths, way finding, interchange areas, and rail transit environments.
• Support intuitive, step-free, premium passenger movement between developer districts and rail facilities.
• Review technical submissions, drawings, models, design packages, interface proposals, and coordination outputs to confirm they protect rail requirements and urban design intent.
• Work closely with developers, rail systems teams, civil engineers, structural engineers, architects, MEP teams, FLS specialists, O&M representatives, consultants, contractors, and client stakeholders.
• Lead interface workshops, model coordination sessions, clash-resolution meetings, technical reviews, and decision-making forums.
• Track risks, decisions, assumptions, interface dependencies, unresolved clashes, access constraints, and mitigation actions through clear governance records.
• Provide senior reporting on interface progress, district integration risks, design conflicts, approval blockers, operational concerns, and recommended solutions.
• Support a collaborative working environment while firmly protecting the integrity, safety, and maintainability of the rail asset.

• Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, Architecture, Transportation Engineering, or a closely related technical discipline.
• Minimum 15 years of experience in large-scale rail,…
