Construction Manager (OMPP / Pipelines)

A leading onshore contractor to Saudi Aramco in the Eastern Province is hiring a Construction Manager for its Onshore Maintain Potential Program (OMPP) portfolio — pipelines and associated facilities across multiple concurrent desert worksites in the region.

Key responsibilities

Oversee the full logistical execution of OMPP construction scopes across multiple simultaneous worksites.

Set targets, allocate responsibilities, and manage supervisors, foremen, and subcontractor field teams.

Conduct site walkdowns; inspect works, materials, and HSE compliance; report progress to project management and client. Review schedules, budgets, labour, and risk regularly; keep the works on track against the project baseline.

10+ years of solid experience as a Construction Manager in oil and gas / petrochemical projects, with cross-country pipeline delivery a must.
