The project:

This is an opportunity to work on one of the largest programmes in Saudi Arabia. This unique project consists of major mixed-use development including sports facilities, entertainment, and arts along with all associated infrastructure.

The project manager will represent the client (or project management consultant) in delivering large-scale, technically complex audiovisual, lighting, and integrated show systems projects. This includes end-to-end oversight from design coordination through procurement, installation, testing, commissioning, and handover.

The role requires strong technical understanding, stakeholder management skills, and experience working within major construction or entertainment developments in the Middle East.

You’ll be responsible for:

Project leadership and delivery

Testing, commissioning and handover

• Manage snagging, defects resolution, and final handover documentation.

You’ll need to have:

• Experience in project management of AV, lighting, or integrated systems.
• Proven track record delivering large-scale projects (e.g., stadiums, theme parks, cultural venues, and mega developments).
• Experience in the Middle East preferred, particularly in client-side or PMC roles.
• Familiarity with complex stakeholder environments and fast-paced mega projects.
