We are looking for a Head of Design - Complex Buildings, Civil Works and Marine Infrastructure Projects to lead and coordinate structural engineering activities across a diverse portfolio of complex marine and iconic building projects.

You will lead a dedicated in-house team, managing the full project lifecycle — from tender and Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) to temporary works and Issued for Construction (IFC) drawings. This is a high-level technical leadership role that requires a bridge-builder: someone who can translate complex structural theory into practical, constructible solutions for on-site teams.

Hybrid Project Portfolio: Extensive experience across both Marine Infrastructure (LNG jetties, breakwaters, quay walls) and Iconic Buildings (stadiums, museums, or landmark high-rises).

Regional Knowledge: Significant work experience within the Middle East is essential.

D&B Specialist: Proven success in Design & Build (D&B) environments, managing the friction and coordination between design and rapid site execution.

Code Proficiency: Expert-level knowledge of international design codes (Eurocodes, ACI, BS).

Leadership Style: A natural mentor and communicator who can build strong relationships with external consultants and internal stakeholders alike.

You will join a premier engineering environment delivering some of the most technically challenging projects in the region. This role offers the autonomy to lead a complete in-house design function, influencing the project from the very first tender sketch to the final site inspection.

In addition to a competitive executive package, you will have the opportunity to shape the technical standards of the department and lead the delivery of global landmarks.
