About the role: Project manager

Project managers plan, coordinate and deliver projects on time, within budget and to the required quality, managing teams, contractors and stakeholders along the way. In the UAE, the title covers construction and infrastructure projects, engineering and energy projects, IT implementations and government transformation programmes.

Construction and real estate development generate a large share of the roles, from residential towers to transport, hospitality and mixed-use communities, with project managers on the client, consultant or contractor side. IT and digital project managers are in demand in technology firms, government entities and large corporates, often in agile environments. Energy and industrial projects look for managers familiar with engineering, procurement and construction contracts.

Employers usually expect a degree in the relevant field, solid experience on projects of similar scale and a recognised certification such as PMP or PRINCE2. Knowledge of planning tools, contract management and risk management is essential, and senior roles often require regional experience.
