Al Jawf, Saudi Arabia Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. Full time

At Jacobs, we're challenging today to reinvent tomorrow by solving the world's most critical problems for thriving cities, resilient environments, mission-critical outcomes, operational advancement, scientific discovery and cutting-edge manufacturing, turning abstract ideas into realities that transform the world for good.

Your impact

At Jacobs, we push the limits of what's possible to make the world smarter, more connected and more sustainable. In our transport work, that means designing innovative solutions to move people and goods safely and efficiently across the globe. When it comes to connecting the people and places of tomorrow, the future of transport depends on us. Help 'deliver the amazing' and be part of Jacobs Transportation team by partnering with the Aviation group in the Middle East to provide comprehensive technical advisory support for the development, implementation, and operation of airports. The project focuses on delivering leadership and design support in all aspects of aviation, including planning, design, smart systems, and operation.

As the Project Technical Director at NEOM, you'll take ownership of overseeing and managing the entire design framework. You will be able to use your extensive knowledge, expertise, and experience in aviation infrastructure, including airport planning, airside and landside operations, and terminal design. Your background in project management and industry best practices will be crucial. You will be responsible for providing strategic leadership, ensuring project objectives are met within scope, budget, and schedule. You'll need a flair for collaboration and forming robust relationships within the various offices of Jacobs, to ensure successful interfaces with stakeholders to deliver successful outcomes.

You will be also responsible on the following:
  1. Provide overall leadership and direction, ensuring alignment with organizational goals and objectives. Define project scope, deliverables, and success criteria, in line with the client's requirements.
  2. Establish and maintain strong relationships with key stakeholders, including government agencies, regulatory bodies, contractors, and subcontractors, ensuring effective communication and collaboration throughout the framework lifecycle.
  3. Develop comprehensive project plans, including timelines, resource allocation, risk assessment, and mitigation strategies. Oversee the execution of project activities, ensuring adherence to project schedules and budgetary constraints.
  4. Utilize extensive knowledge and experience in airport architecture and engineering, as well as operations, to provide strategic guidance and ensure compliance with industry standards, regulations, and best practices.
  5. Develop and manage project budgets, monitor project expenditures, and implement cost control measures to ensure financial objectives are met. Evaluate and approve project-related expenses, contracts, and change orders.
  6. Implement quality control measures to ensure that project deliverables meet or exceed industry standards and client expectations. Establish and monitor quality benchmarks and implement corrective actions as necessary.
  7. Identify, assess, and manage project risks. Develop risk mitigation strategies and contingency plans to minimize potential disruptions and ensure project success.
  8. Build and lead a high-performing project team, including project managers, engineers, contractors, and support staff. Provide guidance, mentoring, and performance feedback to drive team productivity and foster a positive work environment.
  9. Oversee contract negotiations, procurement processes, and vendor relationships to ensure timely delivery of goods and services while maintaining compliance with project requirements and legal obligations.

We value collaboration and believe that in-person interactions are crucial for both our culture and client delivery. We empower employees with our hybrid working policy, allowing them to split their work week between Jacobs offices/projects and remote locations enabling them to deliver their best work.

Here's what you'll need

As a successful candidate, you will have a Bachelor's degree in Architecture, Civil Engineering, Project Management, or a related field. You'll bring a diverse range of experience, having worked on complex mega projects (multi-billion dollar projects) and possess a strong working knowledge of airports. You will have in-depth knowledge of airport infrastructure, including architectural and engineering principles, airside and landside operations, terminal design, and operational considerations. Your proven track record of successfully delivering complex projects within budget, scope, and schedule constraints will be essential.

You will demonstrate strong financial acumen and experience in budget management and cost control, along with proficiency in project management methodologies, tools, and software. You will have exceptional problem-solving and decision-making abilities, with a focus on innovation and continuous improvement. Additionally, you will exhibit the ability to navigate and manage complex regulatory and environmental requirements associated with airport projects, and have familiarity with applicable safety standards, regulations, and risk management practices specific to the aviation industry.

Jacobs. A world where you can.

From our inclusive employee networks, to our positive mental health champions - we are committed to encouraging a culture of caring where you can be you. Joining Jacobs not only connects you locally but globally - and together, our diverse perspectives and unique backgrounds impact our collective strength. We collaborate and share By supporting one another, we all succeed.

With safety and flexibility always top of mind, we have gone beyond traditional ways of working so you have the support, means and space to maximize your potential. You will uncover flexible working arrangements, benefits, and opportunities to do good too - from participating in our global giving and volunteering program, to exploring new and inventive ways to help our clients make the world a better place.
