## Context

We are seeking an accomplished Project Manager (Metro). This role leads
end-to-end delivery of complex metro programs as a trusted delivery partner,
combining deep rail and transit expertise with rigorous governance and
client-facing leadership. 

## Missions/Main Duties

### Program and Project Delivery

Own full lifecycle delivery for metro assets and systems, including planning and
feasibility, concept and detailed design, procurement, construction and systems
installation, testing and commissioning, trial operations, and handover.
Establish integrated master schedules, stage gates, and KPIs aligned to client
objectives, ensuring safety, scope, schedule, cost, and quality performance.

### Stakeholder and Governance

Act as primary interface with client organizations, transport authorities,
utilities, city planners, designers, contractors, operators, and independent
checking engineers. Lead governance forums, approvals, and executive reporting,
driving timely decisions and alignment across civil, systems, and operational
stakeholders.

### Civil, Systems, and Interfaces Management

Oversee multidisciplinary scopes across civil works (tunnels, viaducts,
stations, depots), rail systems (trackwork, power/traction, SCADA, signaling and
train control—CBTC preferred, telecoms), rolling stock interfaces, PSDs, and
OCS. Manage critical interfaces among design-and-build packages, systems
integrators, and third parties to maintain integration integrity.

### Commercial, Contracts, and Procurement

Shape procurement strategies for multi-package metro delivery (civil works, MEP,
systems, rolling stock, systems integration, O&M). Administer contracts, change
control, claims, and risk allocation. Coordinate with legal and commercial teams
to ensure compliance with delivery partner obligations and optimize value across
packages.

### Safety, Quality, Risk, and Assurance

Implement comprehensive risk management, configuration control, and change
governance. Enforce QA/QC processes and independent safety assessment
coordination. Lead HSE excellence across contractors, aligning with
international rail safety practices. Drive systems assurance, RAMS, EMC/EMI,
cybersecurity, and safety certification readiness.

### Testing, Commissioning, and Operations Readiness

Plan and manage integrated testing and commissioning (IOTC), trial running,
reliability growth, and safety certification. Coordinate with operators for O&M
strategy, staffing, training, maintenance regimes, spares, and asset information
requirements to secure a smooth handover into passenger service.

### Team Leadership

Build and lead a matrixed team spanning PMO, planning and scheduling, cost,
risk, engineering, assurance, and site supervision. Mentor staff, drive
accountability, and foster a culture of collaboration, transparency, and
continuous improvement.

## Profile/Skills

- Bachelor’s degree in Civil, Electrical, Mechanical, Systems, or Transport
  Engineering; Master’s in Transport/Rail Systems or Project Management
  preferred.
- 20+ years delivering major metro or rail programs with demonstrable experience
  across civil and systems packages, including interface and integration
  management.
- Proven regional experience (e.g., GCC/KSA or similar) with government or
  quasi-government clients; giga-project exposure is a plus.
- Success in delivery partner, PMC, or client-representative roles managing
  multi-billion SAR/AED portfolios.
- Strong knowledge of metro systems: CBTC/signaling, telecommunications,
  power/traction, SCADA, PSDs, rolling stock interfaces, RAMS, and systems
  assurance.
- Proficiency with P6, risk tools, PMIS, BIM/CDE, and systems engineering and
  configuration management practices.
- Certifications such as PMP, PgMP, APM, IRSE, or PRINCE2 preferred.

## Core Competencies

- Leadership and influence across client, authority, and contractor ecosystems.
- Systems integration mindset with disciplined interface management.
- Commercial acumen in complex, multi-contract environments.
- Clear, concise executive reporting and adept stakeholder negotiation.
- Resilient problem-solving in high-velocity program conditions.
- Uncompromising commitment to safety, quality, and passenger-centric outcomes.

Systra is an equal opportunities company; this position is open to all
applicants.
