Leadership responsibilities include guiding the on‑site PMC team, fostering collaboration, accountability and excellence while mentoring project managers, engineers and commercial staff. The Director will also serve as the senior representative for the consultancy, building a trusted relationship with the developer through transparent communication and regular high‑level reporting.
The role oversees the project from final design through construction, testing, commissioning and handover, developing and implementing the overall execution plan. It encompasses commercial and contractual management, budget control, cash‑flow oversight, procurement and claims handling, as well as driving the master schedule, managing risks and coordinating with the main contractor, design consultants and government authorities. Technical and quality assurance duties require strict adherence to contract specifications, industry standards and rigorous HSE protocols.
Candidates must have at least 15 years of progressive construction project management experience, including a minimum of 10 years in the UAE, and a proven track record of delivering large‑scale high‑rise tower projects in a PMC capacity. A bachelor’s degree in engineering, quantity surveying, construction management, architecture or a related discipline is required, with a master’s degree preferred; professional certifications such as MCIOB, PMP or MRICS are highly desirable.
The ideal candidate demonstrates exceptional leadership, strong commercial acumen, deep technical expertise in high‑rise construction, and outstanding client‑facing communication, negotiation and presentation skills. The position is on‑site in Dubai, UAE, and JLL encourages applicants to apply even if they do not meet every requirement, emphasizing its commitment to equal opportunity, reasonable accommodations and data privacy.
