  • Familiarity with FIDIC contracts, procurement processes, and cost control procedures.
  • Strong analytical, negotiation, and communication skills.
  • Attention to detail and ability to work under tight deadlines.
  • Membership in RICS, AACE, or similar professional body.
  • Experience with airport or airfield-specific MEP systems (e.g., AGL, fueling, BMS, SCADA).
  • Familiarity with BIM-based quantity extraction or digital BOQ tools.
