Project Manager - Construction Supervision Consultant

**Position Objective:** The Project Manager leads the construction supervision team on a modular building site and is the team's main point of contact with the Client and the PMC. The role directs supervision of the Contractor's off-site manufacturing and on-site works, governs the review and approval of the Contractor's detailed design, drawings and submittals, and certifies progress and payment before the PMC's final approval. **Job Description & Responsibilities:** The Project Manager leads the construction supervision team on the modular building site and is the team’s primary interface with the Client and the PMC. Key responsibilities: * Lead the site supervision team and serve as the primary interface to the Client and the PMC for the site. * Review and approve the detailed design and Issued-For-Construction (IFC) drawings from the Designer or design-build Contractor, together with the Contractor’s shop drawings and as-built drawings. * Direct supervision across the off-site factory works and the on-site infrastructure, foundations, earthworks, logistics and module installation. * Govern the Contractor’s submittal and inspection workflow - confirming method statements (MS), material approval requests (MAR), inspection and test plans (ITP) and prequalification documents (PQD) are reviewed and approved, and material inspection requests (MIR) and work inspection requests (WIR) closed at hold and witness points - as the first check before the PMC. * Stop any activity that departs from the approved drawings, Bill of Quantities, technical specifications or applicable Saudi codes and authority requirements, and require it corrected before it proceeds. * Govern quality assurance and quality control; confirm Non-Conformance Reports (NCRs) and Site Observation Reports (SORs) are raised and tracked, and verify corrective action through to close-out. * Oversee the Contractor’s Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) arrangements, confirm method statements and permits are in place, and report non-compliance to the PMC. * Govern Contractor variations, change orders and extension-of-time claims, testing each on its merits before recommending to the PMC. * Review the Contractor’s invoices, quantity surveying and payment certification as the first check, then recommend each payment certificate to the PMC for final approval. * Track progress against the approved baseline schedule, catch slippage early, and require recovery action that protects the program milestones. * Witness and verify testing and commissioning of installed systems, including the Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) and Site Acceptance Test (SAT), through to provisional acceptance. * Confirm the handover pack is complete before the Client accepts the works - as-built drawings, operation and maintenance manuals, warranties and the close-out snag list. **Qualifications & Experience:** * An accredited bachelor’s degree in civil or architectural engineering, with registration or eligibility with the Saudi Council of Engineers (SCE); Professional Engineer (PE) accreditation is preferred. * 15+ years in construction or engineering supervision, including at least 5 years as a Project Manager or Resident Engineer on building or infrastructure projects. * Project Management Professional (PMP) certification. * Practical command of design and drawing review, Contractor coordination, quantity surveying and payment certification, variation and claims governance, and quality and HSE oversight in a supervision or PMC setting. * Experience on modular, prefabricated or precast construction or Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA) programs is an advantage. * Fluent with mainstream project and supervision systems (for example Primavera P6, Aconex and AutoCAD), and quick to adopt the Consultant’s in-house systems. * Saudi or Gulf (GCC) construction-supervision experience and familiarity with the Saudi Building Code (SBC) and local authority approvals are highly preferred. * Fluent English for review records and reporting; Arabic is an advantage. * Open to international and Saudi candidates, who must be legally eligible to work in Saudi Arabia. The role is based across multiple cities in the Kingdom, and some travel may be required.
