Technical Manager - Roads & Infra

Riyadh, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

Overview

Reporting to the Project Director, the Technical Manager shall lead and manage all technical and engineering oversight functions on behalf of the Project Management Consultant (PMC) for a major road/highway construction project. The role is responsible for ensuring that the Contractor's designs, construction methods, materials, and execution comply with contract requirements, applicable standards, approvals, and best engineering practices, while supporting successful delivery in terms of quality, safety, cost, and schedule.

Your role

Technical Leadership & Oversight

  • Act as the overall technical authority within the PMC team for highway, interchange, and bridge works, including earthworks, pavements, drainage, structures, and associated utilities.
  • Review, assess, and provide recommendations on the Contractor's technical submissions, including:
    • Design deliverables (where applicable).
    • Construction methodologies and temporary works.
    • Sequence of works and traffic management schemes.
  • Ensure compliance with contract requirements, specifications, approved drawings, and relevant international and local standards (e.g. AASHTO, Eurocodes, Saudi Arabian local road authority standards).

Contractor Supervision & Interface

  • Provide technical direction and clarification to the Construction Supervision Team and interface closely with discipline leads (roads, structures, utilities, geotechnical, QA/QC).
  • Lead technical coordination with the Construction Contractor, method statements, material submittals, shop drawings, and design changes.
  • Participate in technical meetings, design reviews, and resolution of interface issues between different work packages and stakeholders.

Quality Assurance & Compliance

  • Oversee the implementation of quality assurance and quality control systems on site, ensuring construction activities meet the specified technical and performance criteria.
  • Review non‑conformance reports (NCRs), corrective actions, and technical concessions raised by the Contractor.
  • Support audits and inspections related to materials, workmanship, and construction processes, particularly for critical elements such as bridges and structures.

Design & Constructability Review (where applicable)

  • Review Contractor‑proposed designs or design changes to ensure:
    • Constructability and compliance with scope.
    • Safety during construction and operation.
    • Whole‑life performance and durability.
  • Participate in value engineering and technical optimization exercises without compromising safety, quality, or contractual obligations.

Risk, Safety & Technical Assurance

  • Support identification and mitigation of technical risks, constructability risks, and interface risks associated with road and bridge works.
  • Ensure technical aspects of construction methods comply with health, safety, and environmental (HSE) requirements, including temporary works and traffic management.
  • Contribute to risk assessments, method reviews, and safety-in-design considerations.

Progress Monitoring & Reporting

  • Monitor technical progress against approved baselines and contribute to monthly progress reports from a technical perspective.
  • Identify potential technical issues that may impact schedule, cost, or performance, and recommend corrective actions.
  • Support the Project Manager in evaluating technical implications of variations, claims, and change orders.

Team Management & Knowledge Sharing

  • Provide leadership, guidance, and mentoring to PMC discipline engineers and inspectors.
  • Ensure consistent application of technical standards and PMC procedures across all site teams.
  • Promote effective communication and coordination within the PMC and with external stakeholders.
