Parsons is looking for an amazingly talented Construction Manager with strong design management experience to join our team! In this role, you will lead the delivery of a complex hospitality or mixed-use development project in the Kingdom, ensuring successful execution from concept and design development through construction and handover.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Overseeing the design management phase including coordination of consultants, architects, and engineers to ensure design quality, compliance, and alignment with project objectives.

• Leading multi-disciplinary design reviews, constructability assessments, and value engineering workshops to optimize project delivery.

• Acting as a bridge between design and construction, offering insight into construction techniques, sequencing, and best ways to resolve design challenges.

• Bringing clarity to designs through constructability reviews, enabling contractors to progress with accurate pricing, efficient methodologies, and minimal disruption due to potential design flaws.

• Ensuring smooth transition from design approval into construction, resolving technical issues between design and execution phases.

• Directing and managing all on-site construction activities in line with project plans, specifications, and safety standards.

• Reviewing and approving design submissions, shop drawings, materials, and equipment to ensure adherence to design intent and project requirements.

• Developing design-informed execution strategies, construction schedules, resource plans, and milestone tracking to meet project objectives.

• Coordinating across the full project lifecycle with project managers, consultants, contractors, and clients to ensure seamless integration of design and construction.

• Leading site inspections, design compliance checks, safety audits, and quality reviews.

• Preparing and presenting detailed design and construction progress reports to senior management and clients.

• Managing scope changes, design modifications, and project risks while ensuring contractual compliance and schedule adherence.

• Driving best practices in design coordination, construction methodology, and technical excellence.

• Representing Parsons in all design-related and construction-related meetings with clients, authorities, and stakeholders.

What Required Skills You’ll Bring:

• Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, Architecture, or Construction Management (Master’s preferred).

• 15+ years of experience across design management, design review, and construction management on large-scale hospitality/mixed-use or iconic developments.

• A proven track record as a professional with experience in both design and site construction activities, ideally with a design-and-build background or similar.

• Strong ability to offer constructability insight and practical solutions, guiding contractors toward efficient execution while preventing disruption from design flaws.

• Demonstrated expertise in managing design consultants, architects, and engineers, as well as a commanding presence when dealing with contractors (during procurement and post-award phases).

• Proficiency in pre-construction planning, design validation, cost analysis, progress tracking, and risk management.

• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills with the ability to chair design coordination and construction progress meetings.

• Familiarity with international design codes, building regulations, safety standards, and QA/QC protocols.

What Desired Skills You’ll Bring:

• Professional registration (e.g., PMP, PE, Chartered Engineer, Architect) highly preferred.

• Prior experience in concept design, schematic design, or design approvals with government/regulatory bodies.

• Parsons’ internal PM certification or equivalent is an advantage.

• Ability to proactively manage design evolution, change control, and technical-commercial conflicts to safeguard project outcomes.
