Unleash your talent and redefine what’s possible.   Job Description: Parsons is seeking an accomplished and delivery-driven Senior Engineering Manager to join its Delivery Partner team supporting the client. The role provides senior technical leadership, engineering assurance, multidisciplinary design and construction integration, stakeholder coordination, and delivery oversight for assigned infrastructure and development packages. Acting within the Delivery Partner governance framework and agreed delegated authority, the Senior Engineering Manager represents Parsons in technical coordination with the client, other delivery partners, designers, contractors, supervision teams, statutory authorities, utility providers, and programme functions. The role ensures that engineering activities are planned, coordinated, reviewed, assured, reported, and progressed in accordance with approved scope, contractual obligations, programme baselines, applicable standards, and client procedures. The role combines strategic programme awareness with practical delivery judgment across design, procurement, construction, testing, commissioning, operational readiness, and handover. It provides oversight, challenge, integration, assurance, and timely escalation without replacing the appointed designer’s professional design responsibility or the contractor’s responsibility for construction means, methods, sequencing, temporary works, and execution. What You’ll Be Doing Lead the planning, coordination, review, assurance, and timely delivery of multidisciplinary engineering and design activities across assigned project packages. Establish and maintain engineering delivery strategies and plans, design-management plans, deliverable schedules, review workflows, approval matrices, technical governance arrangements, requirements-traceability records, and decision registers. Coordinate technical inputs across civil, structural, architectural, MEP, utilities, roads, drainage, ICT/ELV, security, landscape, logistics, mobility, infrastructure, and specialist disciplines, as applicable. Ensure engineering deliverables comply with approved scope, Employer’s Requirements, budgets, design standards, specifications, applicable Saudi Arabian regulations, authority requirements, and agreed programme milestones. Lead documented and traceable technical reviews through concept, schematic, detailed design, IFC, construction support, testing, commissioning, and handover stages; drive closure of comments, RFIs, technical queries, non-conformances, design changes, and interface actions. Review submissions for compliance, completeness, coordination, constructability, maintainability, operational suitability, resilience, accessibility, and readiness for procurement, construction, statutory approval, commissioning, and asset handover. Challenge incomplete, uncoordinated, non-compliant, or impractical proposals that could introduce avoidable safety, cost, programme, authority, operational, maintainability, resilience, or constructability risk. Plan and implement design verification, independent checking, peer and specialist review, compliance certification, design-risk management, and value-engineering assessments that improve whole-life value without compromising required outcomes. Lead programme-level engineering governance across the assigned multi-package portfolio, including governance calendars, deliverable schedules, review workflows, approval matrices, decision registers, requirements-traceability records, and auditable assurance evidence. Establish and drive a regular technical governance and escalation cadence across the client, Parsons, other delivery partners, designers, and contractors, including engineering coordination, interface reviews, design-risk reviews, progress reporting, and executive decision forums. Define, coordinate, and assure engineering readiness for each applicable programme stage gate, confirming that required technical deliverables, approvals, design maturity, interfaces, risks, decisions, authority requirements, constructability inputs, cost and programme impacts, and supporting evidence are complete and traceable. Lead technical reviews at concept, schematic, detailed design, IFC, construction support, and handover stages. Lead stage-gate readiness reviews and recommend progression, conditional progression, hold, or escalation in accordance with the approved governance framework and delegated authority. Maintain a stage-gate compliance and action tracker, identify packages at risk of missing entry or exit criteria, assign accountable owners and target dates, and escalate unresolved gaps with clear impact statements and recovery actions. Ensure that any conditions, exceptions, waivers, residual risks, and decisions arising from a stage gate are formally approved, recorded, communicated, and closed before the next dependent commitment or release. Prepare concise, decision-oriented engineering status reports, dashboards, risk summaries, stage-gate submissions, and executive presentations for the client and Parsons leadership. Maintain portfolio visibility of technical risk, outstanding decisions, late information, resourcing constraints, and interface dependencies, and drive accountable closure. Support procurement through technically robust scopes, tender deliverables, clarification responses, technical evaluations, comparative assessments, and recommendations aligned with approved governance and stage-gate requirements.
