Expo 2030 Riyadh is a global platform where countries, organizations, and individuals will come together to collaborate. Under the theme "Foresight for Tomorrow," the Expo promotes sustainable development, innovation, and transformative thinking. The event will be held from October 2030 to March 2031 and is expected to welcome over 40 million visits.

The 6 km² Masterplan outlines a comprehensive framework for participation and infrastructure at the Expo. The exhibition space, totaling 491,100 m² GFA, can accommodate up to 197 participating countries and 29 international organizations. Working collaboratively with our customer, Expo 2030 Riyadh Company (ERC), Bechtel will manage the infrastructure program which comprises early works, utilities, and publicly accessible spaces like streets and parks.

Our scope on the six-square-kilometer site will transition into a mixed‑use legacy development to serve the community after the six‑month event is over. The project’s master plan leverages international sustainability standards for urban afforestation, treated water, and energy sources.

Reporting to the Technical Director Deputy, you will lead and coordinate with a team of multidisciplinary technical specialists, overseeing the interpretation, organization, execution, and coordination of all engineering and technical aspects related to concept master planning, detailed master planning, and detailed infrastructure design.

You will lead, manage, and be accountable for the performance of appointed Design Consultants, ensuring the successful delivery of infrastructure designs in full compliance with established budget, schedule, and quality objectives. You will establish and maintain Engineering Programme Management plans and procedures, ensuring alignment with the Customer’s governance framework.
