- Ensure compliance with contractual requirements, governance frameworks, and industry best practices.
- Monitor progress against key milestones and proactively resolve issues impacting delivery.
- Contribute to commercial and strategic decision-making in collaboration with internal and client teams.
- Provide guidance and support to junior team members where required.

- Proven track record of delivering large-scale projects (AED 200M+) from inception through construction to final handover
- Background within a contractor, developer or consultancy
- Strong project delivery and construction background with experience delivering projects on site through all phases of construction and handover, not purely design delivery
