• Maintain action, decision, risk, change and issue logs; coordinate project parties, chair meetings, record decisions and escalate concerns.
• Support tendering and technical evaluations; monitor commitments, variations, scope, budget and progress.
• Verify completed work, manage snags and ensure approvals, warranties, handover files and as-built information are complete.

Traffic, parking and signage

• Lead field surveys of routes, entrances, queues, conflict points, pedestrian interfaces, loading, taxi and valet operations, emergency access and peak conditions.
• Coordinate traffic studies and develop practical road, access, parking and internal vehicle-routing proposals.
• Plan phased work and temporary traffic management to protect customer access, operations, emergency routes and business continuity.
• Maintain coordinated sign-location plans, message schedules and wayfinding packages aligned with traffic changes and PVQ brand standards.
• Conduct field checks, measurements, photo records, mock-up reviews and post-implementation observations; correct drawing discrepancies.

Design and technical assurance

• Review architectural, civil, structural, MEP, life-safety, parking, traffic and signage information for coordination, buildability and operational impact.
• Check designs against verified site conditions and identify missing information or practical constraints before construction.
• Prepare marked-up drawings, sketches, technical details, quantities and presentation materials for communication and approvals.
• Address applicable codes, HSE, accessibility, fire and life safety, mall standards, permits and authority requirements.
• Plan work in occupied areas with permits, isolations, logistics, protection, housekeeping and reinstatement controls.

• Administer the PVQ drawing archive, register, folder structure, naming, metadata, revisions, issue status and access permissions.
• Keep concept, review, approved-for-construction and as-built information controlled; prevent obsolete drawings from use.
• Check consultant and contractor CAD submissions for quality, coordinates, layers, references, completeness and PVQ standards.
• Report weekly on progress, look-ahead activities, cost, risks, decisions and support needed; maintain auditable project records.

• Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering, Architectural Engineering, Construction Management or a related discipline.
• At least 7 years of relevant experience, including at least 4 years delivering refurbishment, civil, infrastructure or operational projects hands-on.
• Demonstrated delivery experience in a complex live commercial asset; mall, traffic, parking, access, wayfinding or signage experience is strongly preferred.
• Advanced AutoCAD proficiency and experience with drawing registers, CAD archives, document control and as-built close-out.
• PMP, PRINCE2 or equivalent certification is preferred; MMUP/UPDA registration may be required for assigned duties.
• Qatar/GCC project experience and a valid driving licence are advantageous.
