The Operations & Maintenance Manager (O&M Manager) is a senior management position responsible for developing and overseeing the full operations and maintenance framework for the high-speed rail project, encompassing station facilities, TBM tunnel infrastructure, fixed railway systems, and associated civil and MEP assets.
Joining the project during the establishment phase, the O&M Manager will build the O&M strategy, policies, and organisational structure from the ground up — ensuring that all design, construction, and commissioning decisions are made with operational efficiency, asset longevity, and maintainability in mind.

The role bridges the construction phase and the long-term operational phase of the project, serving as the primary owner of operations readiness planning and post-handover maintenance governance.

  • Prior O&M leadership experience on high-speed rail, metro, or heavy rail projects in the GCC or Middle East region.
  • Experience managing the construction-to-operations transition on a greenfield rail project.
  • Familiarity with underground/tunnel operations, including tunnel ventilation management, emergency evacuation procedures, and confined space working protocols.
  • Working knowledge of PAS 55 or ISO 55001 certified asset management programmes.
  • Experience operating within a joint venture project structure with multiple employer/client interfaces.
  • Proficiency in CMMS platforms (e.g., IBM Maximo, SAP PM, IFS, Infor EAM) and BIM-integrated asset management workflows.
