  • Review system architecture, interface-control information, network diagrams, device layouts, communications designs, power requirements, and equipment schedules.

  • Participate in site investigations to verify existing conditions, communications availability, utility constraints, equipment locations, cabinet space, power, visibility, access, and constructability.

  • Support preparation of technical comments, review matrices, non-conformance records, site observations, and engineering recommendations.

  • Monitor ITS construction and installation activities and verify that field implementation is consistent with approved design documents and manufacturer requirements.

  • Coordinate technical interfaces between ITS field equipment, traffic signals, communications networks, ATMS/iNET platforms, TCC systems, and external stakeholders.

  • Review material submittals, shop drawings, method statements, installation details, test procedures, and commissioning documentation.

  • Participate in factory acceptance tests, site acceptance tests, integration testing, commissioning, and operational-readiness activities.

  • Support troubleshooting of field and integration issues during construction, testing, and early operations.

  • Verify as-built documentation, equipment inventories, configuration records, test results, and handover material before system acceptance.

  • Contribute to ITS guidelines, specifications, O&M procedures, implementation frameworks, and technical assessment reports prepared for RCRC.

  • Coordinate with roadway, traffic signal, communications, cybersecurity, electrical, civil, and TCC operations specialists to resolve multidisciplinary interface issues.

  • Maintain awareness of emerging ITS technologies and provide practical recommendations for scalable, interoperable, and maintainable deployments in Riyadh.

What Required Skills You’ll Bring:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Communications Engineering, Computer/Systems Engineering, Civil/Transportation Engineering, or a closely related discipline.

  • 7+ years of experience in ITS design, technical specifications, design review, construction support, system integration, testing, or commissioning.

  • Demonstrated experience with field ITS systems such as CCTV, detection, DMS/VMS, communications, cabinets, power, or comparable traffic-management technologies.

  • Experience preparing or reviewing technical specifications, drawings, shop drawings, material submittals, method statements, and test documentation.

  • Working knowledge of ITS communications networks, fiber-optic systems, Ethernet/IP, field cabinets, power distribution, grounding, environmental requirements, and basic cybersecurity considerations.

  • Understanding of system integration concepts, interfaces, data exchange, and central traffic-management systems.

  • Ability to conduct field inspections and evaluate installation quality, constructability, compliance, and operational readiness.

  • Strong technical writing skills and ability to document design comments, field observations, test findings, and corrective actions clearly.

  • Ability to interpret engineering drawings, specifications, equipment datasheets, and system architecture documentation.

  • Strong teamwork and coordination skills across civil, electrical, communications, software, and traffic engineering disciplines.
