The Senior Engineering Manager will operate within a Delivery Partner governance structure, providing technical leadership without replacing the professional responsibilities of appointed designers or contractors. The role will establish the controls required to move complex infrastructure packages through design maturity, statutory approvals, procurement, construction release, testing, commissioning and handover. Success will depend on maintaining visibility across technical risks, interfaces, decisions, information dependencies, and stage-gate requirements so that project leadership can act before engineering constraints affect cost, schedule, safety, or operations.

• Direct multidisciplinary engineering activities across assigned infrastructure and development packages from early design through handover.
• Establish engineering delivery strategies, design-management plans, technical governance arrangements, approval matrices, and deliverable schedules.
• Coordinate civil, structural, architectural, MEP, roads, drainage, utilities, ICT, security, landscape, mobility, logistics and specialist engineering interfaces.
• Verify engineering deliverables against approved scope, Employer 's Requirements, design criteria, specifications, Saudi Arabian regulations, authority requirements, and program milestones.
• Lead structured technical reviews through concept, schematic, detailed design, IFC, construction support, commissioning and handover stages.
• Assess submissions for design completeness, constructability, maintainability, accessibility, resilience, operational suitability and procurement readiness.
• Challenge technically incomplete, uncoordinated, non-compliant or impractical proposals before they create downstream project exposure.
• Establish design verification, independent checking, peer review, compliance certification and specialist assurance requirements.
• Drive value engineering assessments that improve whole-life value while preserving required safety, performance and operational outcomes.
• Maintain requirements-traceability records, technical decision registers, design-risk registers and auditable engineering assurance evidence.
• Establish a regular governance cadence covering engineering coordination, interface reviews, design risk, progress and executive technical decisions.
• Define engineering entry and exit requirements for applicable program stage gates.
• Lead stage-gate readiness reviews and recommend progression, conditional progression, hold or escalation within delegated authority.
• Maintain visibility of stage-gate deficiencies, accountable owners, recovery actions and target closure dates.
• Ensure conditions, waivers, exceptions, residual risks and technical decisions are formally recorded and appropriately approved.
• Prepare concise engineering dashboards, stage-gate submissions, executive presentations, decision papers and technical risk summaries.
• Support procurement by developing technically robust scopes, tender requirements, clarification responses, technical evaluations and recommendations.
• Review technical submissions, design changes, deviations and value engineering proposals and recommend appropriate action.
• Coordinate engineering issues with Project Management, Commercial, Contracts, Planning, Project Controls, Quality, HSE, Procurement, Construction, Commissioning and Document…
