Your impact

The vision for the King Salman International Airport (KSIA) in Riyadh is truly a first of a kind sustainable airport and airport city development. The expansion anticipates accommodating up to 120 million passengers annually through 2030, quadrupling the current capacity of 30 million. The airport is expected to become one of the worlds busiest international hubs, accommodating 185 million passengers and up to 3.5 million tons of cargo annually by 2050. The airport and airport city development are looking to set a global benchmark for aviation experience.

With sustainability at its core, the new airport will achieve LEED Platinum certification by incorporating cutting edge green initiatives into its design and will be powered by renewable energy.

We are seeking an experienced Technical Expert/Client Liaison Mechanical and plumbing specializing in electrical engineering for airport projects. The role involves being a critical part of a site-based team led by the Engineering Director, managing Mechanical and plumbing design, analysis, and construction oversight while serving as a key liaison with clients and stakeholders.

In this role, you will report into the Building Assets Director.

• The successful candidate will have a strong technical background, proven experience in airport infrastructure projects, and excellent client management skills. This position requires collaboration with multi-disciplinary teams to ensure the delivery of high-quality, innovative, and compliant Mechanical and plumbing solutions in a fast-paced, aviation-focused environment.
• Act as the primary contact for clients, addressing inquiries, concerns, and feedback related to Mechanical and plumbing designs and construction.
• Prevent the emergence of questions before during or after the design period stages.
• Organize and participate in regular meetings with stakeholders to discuss project progress, Mechanical and plumbing challenges, and potential solutions, add value to our services.
• Translate Mechanical and plumbing details into clear and concise information for non-technical stakeholders.
• Facilitate data collection and interfaces with airport and other designers.

We value collaboration and believe that in-person interactions are crucial for both our culture and client delivery. We empower employees with our hybrid working policy, allowing them to split their work week between Jacobs offices/projects and remote locations enabling them to deliver their best work.
