Job description / Role
Our Global Project Management Consultancy client has a new requirement for a well experienced Senior Director of Project Delivery to join their team in Tabuk, KSA.

The Executive Director will ensure the project is delivered on budget, on time, and to the highest quality and safety standards while fostering a culture of collaboration and innovation.

• Oversee secondary strategies under NEOM’s Execution Strategy, ensuring alignment and seamless implementation.
• Provide general advice on specific issues, such as Engineering, Systems, and Testing & Commissioning (T&C), addressing capability gaps effectively.
