Job description
Building design, infrastructure design and power and distribution projects across Saudi Arabia and the GCC are where this Business Development Manager grows DAR Engineering's market presence. New opportunities are found through tender monitoring, mega and giga-project pipelines and competitor tracking, then pursued from first approach and capability presentations through proposals and contract negotiation. Developers, government entities, PMO and PMC firms and contractors are the relationships that matter most. Technical credibility is essential, since proposals need to reflect scope, approach and value across planning, concept, schematic and detailed design and construction supervision. Bid & Tendering, Marketing and technical teams work alongside you on pitches, and pipeline, win rates and revenue are reported to senior management. Industry events and conferences raise the firm's profile. Candidates need a bachelor's degree in civil, architectural, mechanical or electrical engineering and at least 12 years of experience, much of it in business development within engineering, design or consulting firms in the AEC sector. Saudi experience with an established network, exposure to PIF-backed or Vision 2030 projects, Arabic and an MBA are all strong advantages, and Riyadh-based candidates are preferred though relocation support is available.
